Venerable Commander, This is Fred Kendall here, excited to be bringing you the latest from the Developer War Room. It’s my pleasure to be presenting the new update to you today (Version 3.04).
As we roll out the new update, we’ll get to see [Parts] optimizations in a more intuitive interface. We can also look forward to a whole host of changes made including new Airforce Parts names.
As the festive season approaches we’d like to wish all of our Commanders a very merry Christmas and a happy new year. In 2022 we’ll have plenty of fresh content which we are sure you’ll love. Join me now as we take a sneak peak at the new update.
1. Functional Optimization: [Parts]
1. The Unit Parts UI now features Camp and Power buffs and cool new effects when Parts are equipped.
2. Added a Parts tab to the Select Parts interface which displays Parts info and how to equip Parts and their status. Parts are now displayed in order of Power so you can quickly equip and replace Parts.
3. There is now a Make Parts button under Units so you can jump to the Equip Parts screen directly to find relevant Parts needed.
4. Added Unit selection and Make Parts tab and optimized filters for making Parts. Unit selection order as a default is set to your Army Units. The Make Parts tab displays the status of Parts and the Materials required to make them, sorted according to filters as you please.
5. Parts Info has been optimized by adding Power and Quality of the Parts and also allows you to jump directly to the Resources required.
6. Added Blueprints filters and Blueprints tab in the Make Parts system. The Blueprints tab shows Parts Info and the Resources required as well as how to replenish these.
7. The New Parts window is now displayed in different game scenarios and has an Equip Parts feature.
8. The Parts Workshop is now the place where you can view Blueprints, disassemble Blueprints and make and disassemble Parts.
9. Optimized the UI for Parts Quality.
2. Functional Optimizations: [Base Design]
1. Enhanced the Base Skins UI by editing the images, removing bubble text, ensuring there is no text overlapping and optimized the position of Skins on the screen so that they are more clearly displayed.
2. Optimized the bubble text that appears over the Treasury, Crude Oil Reserve and Steelworks so that now a bubble appears showing the amount of Resources collected starting at 1% capacity.
3. When your Command Truck is enabled, the button in the bottom left of the screen now turns into a Command Truck icon.
3. New Feature: [Jovial Bistro] Official Launch
1. After collecting the Chapter 15 Rewards chest and unlocking Chapter 16 Missions, the Jovial Bistro is unlocked and can be built. Build the Jovial Bistro to unlock this feature and enter this exclusive bar.
2. Commanders may use Drink Tokens at the Jovial Bistro where Kat will greet you and fix you a nice beverage at the main bar. This will also give you a chance to earn Gold Officer Statues, Officer EXP Books, Resources, Rush Options and other Rewards.
3. The following Gold Officer Statues are up for grabs: Shevchenko, Jack Spanner, The Eruptor, Bloody Mary, White Wolf, Golden Pixie and Wings of Glory.
4. Added Drink Tokens to Chapter 16 and 21 Rewards Chests, the Black Market, Alliance Store, VIP Store and Elite Commander Event.
5. Introduced 3 types of Officer Missions—Skill Upgrades, Skill Awakening and Jovial Bistro Drinks. Completing these Rewards earns you Drink Tokens.
4. New Events: Christmas
1. The White Christmas event is where we celebrate the spirit of giving! You’re going to love the classic Snowman’s Watch frame and the dynamic Merry Christmas frame, both of which come as Rewards in this event.
2. In the Night Before Christmas event, ride through the night skies, delivering Christmas Stockings until you can light up Villages and a giant Christmas Tree! You’ll earn a Christmas Tree which you can plant directly in your Base as a Decoration.
3. The Christmas Cottage Base Skin will make a grand entrance on the night before Christmas. Covered in soft snow and with Reindeers leading Santa Claus in the night sky above, there’s no doubt that it’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas.
5. Further Optimizations
1. Optimized the pathfinding logic for Units moving on the Map and made mobility more fluid for Army Groups with 15 Units.
2. Improved the display of Attributes on Airforce Unit cards and added the Bombing Time for Bombers and Jamming Capability for Fighter Planes.
3. Optimized the drag gesture so that when a Unit is being dragged across the field, it will not be selected as an Army tile and when all Units are selected, Airforce Units can still be dragged here and there.
4. Revised the naming of Airforce Parts. (This change only affects naming and doesn’t affect Parts stats.)
5. Optimized Collection Site Search logic to exclude Battlegrounds that are locked.
6. Widened the Bridges on the Moscow Map from 3 to 5 Map Grids.
7. Adjusted the Rewards Phase for when Alliances capture Towns or Arms Factories so that they are only sent out during a Conquest.
8. Added 4 Gold Airforce Parts Blueprint Chests to the Alliance Store which are unlocked upon completing Alliance Research item Industrial Revolution.
