Greetings Commanders. Fred Kendall here, happy to be back with you so soon. This time we'll be talking about the new Version 7.10.
In this update, we've made sweeping changes to the Cairo Theater of Conquest, and adjusted the effects of Strategic Places in Conquest maps.
In addition, we'll be releasing a PC version of Warpath, with better graphics and easier-to-use controls. Follow me as we go through the nitty-gritty of this update.
I. [Conquest: Cairo] Optimizations

V. New [PC] Version

3. The PC version will also come with additional graphical enhancements.
4. You will be able to link your PC version data to your mobile version data.
VI. Further Optimizations
1. Added automatic distribution for Alliance Repute ranking rewards at the end of the Theater of Conquest. If your Alliance Leader does not award all ranking rewards in time, they will be automatically distributed to Alliance members based on their performance during the Conquest.
2. Optimized the visuals and logic of the Armory interface.
3. Improved the Statue Exchange interface, which should make upgrading your Officers' skills quicker.
4. Increased the animation speed when opening Coded Messages in Operation Spycatcher.
5. Optimized the Alliance interface to better suit a wider variety of devices, which should improve performance for all screen resolutions.
6. Adjusted Combat Readiness buffs from the Prepare for Battle event. If two Alliances battle each other and the difference between their Combat Readiness levels is greater than 15, the difference will be treated as 15. For example, if Alliance A has a Combat Readiness level of 40 and Alliance B has a level of 10, Alliance A's Troops and Bases will only deal 15% extra damage to and take 15% less damage from Alliance B.
