Latest Patch notes (1/21/2020) – The Map Editor!

Hey all!
Today’s update comes with a big treat for you. A Map Editor!

*Toot*

Have you ever felt like you have what it takes to make levels for a video game? Have you ever felt like you specifically wanted to make them for strategy games? Ever felt like you could top Boomzap’s level designers and you just wanted to roll up your sleeves and settle down to make some hextile-based maps that would run circles around us? Are we being a bit too specific? If you answered yes to any of these questions, download this new update right now and get to showing off your skills. You can also upload your new, super well-designed work to the Steam Workshop for other players to download and enjoy!

Oh and we’ve done some stat reworks for units as well as some reworks to the mana system as well. That’s probably important.

Have fun!

Latest Patch Notes (1/7/2020) – Gold Rush

And we’re back from our Christmas break! You didn’t think we would leave you with just a balance patch for everyone’s stats, did you?

This update features a rework to each unit’s gold costs in the game, as well as massively buffing the gold generation of farms. With units now costing much more gold than before but with farms also being more powerful, you’ll now be more pressured to build a few to fund your army’s costs instead of razing them for more barracks space.

Speaking of, there’s now a maximum limit to each map that determines how many units each player can control. This can also be turned off in the lobby if you ever wish to push your limits to how many units you can micromanage in under 60 seconds!
