NEW SKINS

This update introduces advanced skin customization:

• Scale up or down the textures to fit your needs
• Make those textures more dynamic by making them move along time in any direction
• Increase your colors brightness to shine on the battlefield

Check out the crazy new skins the community already created:


Show off your latest creation during the new intro screen and and rub it to the face of your opponent in their defeat screen!

CUSTOM TOURNAMENTS

Competitive multiplayer makes if hard to make big changes in the game rules and splitting the community between different variants of the game would be bad for every one. The solution to this problem is customizable tournament rules: max AI sizes, max AI count, team size, respawn delay, mission timeout, authorized bot classes, etc. Check out the dedicated wiki page for more details. Here's an example of a no class limit collection tournament that was organized last week.

TEAM SYSTEM

1.4 also introduces a brand new team system. In short, you are automatically assigned to one of the 3 teams (red, green and blue) as soon as you enter the Gold league. Check out the dedicated wiki page for more details. You can see who's is which team on the stats website. If you are active on the discord server and joined a team, ask for your team role in the #role-requests channel and access your team's private chat to meet your teammates, exchange tips and plot against the other teams. Now it's cool to be part of a team but what does it really bring to the game?

TEAM TOURNAMENTS

Introducing team tournaments! The best players from each team fight each other to determine who will represent their team in the finals. We had the first team tournament in February and Red Team was victorious! Here are the replays, some of them are commented by players: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZ6Bf8H9yIw&list=PLZzZnZP6LGafTOufsXDAyQoXwJcC-pzV0 This tournament was super fun to follow, so I should organize the next one pretty soon... Stay tuned!

MULTIPLE STEAM ACCOUNTS ON A SINGLE PC

It's been requested a lot: it's now possible to have several Steam accounts (owning the game) to play on a single PC. Your profile, progress, AIs and preferences will be kept separated and you won't risk any data loss by switching accounts. Challenge your family! ;)
