We haven't posted a bunch so here's just a quick what's happening post.
Viking event came to live server. We didn't make a new post for it as the beta post covered it.
On Beta the May Madness cash shop happened and we didn't want to promote it. It's just whale bait. $200 plus dollars for event buildings that will be obsolete in 6-18 months for a free to play game. This was part of the roadmap that had us dejected and we'll see it multiple times a year now.
Event on beta delayed seems the Arthur and summer event language was mixed and the artwork well was just bad. I'm sure the AI will make it perfect the second time around.
Next age is starting to be injected into the came code. This is a weird one for us as the original embargo expired. Then they placed another embargo for an additional 6 months shortly thereafter and that expired on May 2, 2026. As of now we have not receive another embargo so I think legally we can talk about the new age without getting in trouble but I know for sure 100% people would be grumpy if we did so we'll wait a bit. If there was critical information you needed to prepare for it then we'd just spill the beans but there isn't. Last we saw it was in a playable state but all placeholder assets so I'm guessing two months or so away.
Can you spill the beans if the units are ok to fight with please :) I am just hoping we are not getting another titan unit mess. and is it true only one new GB?
ReplyDeleteWhen we last tested the troops they didn't appear to be the final versions.
DeleteThat said when we tested Venus we thought we weren't getting the final version because energy cannons were supposed to be artillery, ghost blaster was supposed to have stealth and be fast unit, power dragons supposed to be range. You get the idea. All through testing it was mislabeled and assumed it would be fixed and it just never was.
For the new age the assets were all placeholder but the units themselves did not appear to be balanced (abilities and attack/def strength). There appeared to be an effort to balance the troops so there won't be one dominant troop so if I had to guess it will be more like titan than sash but that could change with a swap of abilities. I just used 8 fast units and didn't play around with them much because it's not worth spending the time until the final stats and abilities are out. Even the move order wasn't accurate so it's best to wait a bit on this one.
Thanks for explanation/update :)
Deleteany chance you'll complete the advanced guide for QI?
ReplyDeleteThank you for writing. We've been experimenting and trying some new strategies and we found min/maxing chrono instead of QA while building a settlement has provided a greater progress score so we may just have to do another one.
DeleteSo we still rotate crops but we leave houses in between harvests instead of churches. That gets us a lot more coin and a lot more chrono per harvest and we can finish the settlement faster.
So we'll get less actions in the first few days but by converting the settlement into just culture buildings faster the overall progress is better.
sounds great, thanks :)
DeleteIs the new age a rubber stamp of the previous space ages? Two years in the making, I hope the GBs are good.
