Lots of balancing in this update, along with some fairly large card changes.

High Spirits - now "High Command"

The design of this card has been problematic since Closed Beta, so we decided to rework it completely. It was always an advantageous Op to have equipped as it put you on the front foot from the start. With that advantage it made it nearly impossible for the negative effect to trigger.

It now has the following effect: "Adds 3 random Command assets to your Support List." That means you will start the Battle with 23 Supports, instead of 20, three of which are randomly selected Command assets at the start of each battle.

Logistics + Support Unit Spam

We had created a few platoons with this set up in the past, but hadn't got around to making adjustments. One of our players made it very clear that we need to start balancing things out. We've changed a lot of Logistics and Support Unit assets in this patch. Mostly with cost increases, but some are functioning slightly different than before.

Support units were always meant to be a backup / supplement to your units. Not additional forces. Hopefully the new changes push them in that direction.

Greetings Commanders!

Firstly, we've got some fixes to stop the laggy games you've been seeing the last few days. On top of that, there's some fixes and important additions:

Match Making Changes

We're experimenting with the Matchmaker to get better and more fair matches. It might take up to 2 mins to find a match at times, but the quality of the match up should be much better.

Server Fixes

After our last patch, we started seeing some heavily lagged games. It turns out it was CPU related on the servers, we've put some fixes in for that. Let us know if you see any stuttering games after this patch.

Range Indicators

Your units will now show a rough indicator of their range when selected in battle. You can also select the enemy units to see their range.

Nation Level Achievements

You'll get an achievement for each Nation level you reach, which will come with 10 gold. This will retroactivate if you've already reached those levels.
