Patch 1.2 (2 March 2020) & Patch 1.3 (31 March 2020)

Changelogs posted in the game forum by the devs here (two consecutive posts).

Patch 1.05.000 Guru (31 March 2020)

Another huge update! I'm excited to finally round out the classes to the full set I envisioned years ago. With the Breaker and the Stalker two brand new prophets enter the fray, so let's look at what they can do!

The Breaker
- The Breaker is a former operative of the Union of Five Fingers. Disillusioned with their egotistical he has left them behind and found a new purpose with the fallen star.
- His playstyle is generally slow and methodical, with access to defensive effects (via armor and taunt) and a few build pillars available to him:

Marking groups + AOE damage
- Marked is a new keyword that increases the damage a unit takes. The breaker is good at spreading out marked on groups of enemy targets and then to follow up with area of effect damage (Blast and other cards) to capitalize on their vulnerability.

Obstacles
- Putting down cover, throwing explosive barrels onto the enemy battlefield or just blocking off a column entirely. The Breaker knows how to handle and shape terrain.

Single, strong units
- The Breaker is good at fortifying individual units. Giving them stat boosts and other benefits to build up true juggernauts.

The Stalker
- The Stalker ist a child of the wild places of Soma. Living out with the hilltribes in the ranges they took good care of their clan, hiding away from the eyes of strangers.
- The Stalker's playstyle is more aggressive than the Breaker. It focuses on taking out key enemy units, disrupting their means of attack and going for the kill.

Marking individuals + Double tap
- The Stalker also uses Marked but specifically to target individuals, to either make them more vulnerable or to disable their defensive capabilities. This combined with a new pair of attack cards that hit a single target multiple times allows them to really capitalize on that. This also makes these cards really good against Robust targets.

Beasts
- Like many members of the hilltribes, the Stalker has become a friend to beasts. They can bring them into battle to bolster their own ranks or to directly slam into the enemy. A number of cards feature strong Beast synergies.

Stealth
- Staying hidden is a part of the Stalkers strategy. A number of cards grant Stealth to their followers or capitalize on the units that are already in Stealth. And to make Stealth a bit more reliable, the keyword has been changed to only pop when taking damage from a follower or unit, not from the leader. This is usually going to be retaliation damage and it helps make Stealth a more robust investment during a battle.

Positioning
- With their knowledge of battlefield tactics the Stalker is an expert at pushing and pulling people around. The Stalker has a few cards that either harm or help units when they are moved around, combine this with cheap access to movement cards and interesting strategies come together.

New Keyword: Marked
- As mentioned above there's a new keyword in town. Marked. Marked can be put on units or obstacles and it makes them vulnerable. They can now be attacked regardless of their position and they take 2 extra points of damage, whenever they are damaged.
- This means you could mark a unit to get rid of it more quickly, to trade upwards or to get rid of some pesky sniper or construct that's hiding away in the back somewhere.
- But not only that, with this update Marked, Taunt and Stealth are exclusive. So you can mark a unit to pop it out of Taunt. Put Stealth on a marked unit to prevent extra damage. Or put Taunt on a Stealth unit to pull it out of hiding.

Balancing changes
Of course there's a number of additional tweaks and changes in this version. Some of the new cards related to Marking or the two new classes have been added to enemies or pieces of equipment. And there's been some balancing changes:
- Stealth is now only lost on unit or obstacle damage, not from leader-based damage
- Shadow Trail only triggers once each turn
- Bandit outfit a tad rarer
- Added a new item: The Machinepistol
- Changed the power on the Machinegun to more column damage
- Savage Sibhana was upgraded to Legendary (and is rarer in enemies now)
- Shadow Banjha was downgraded to Rare to compensate
- Coordinated Swarm status effect was changed to be more interesting
- Smoke Screen leader card upgraded to Rare
- Mercy Kill upgraded to 3-cost (was 2-cost)

And that's it! I hope you enjoy this update. Let me know which one of the new classes is your favorite!

And stay hydrated,

Martin

Patch V0.0.40.30701 (31 March 2020) - Part I

Updated and Upgraded Residential Areas
- Now that’s how you renovate! These new residential areas are far prettier than before. We’ve spent a tremendous amount of time improving how residential buildings are constructed and appear in the game. Every building now has a story to tell. Look closely and you’ll see just how different they are! We hope you love them as much as we do.

Roads
- Woah, woah! Hold on! We haven’t implemented roads yet, but we wanted to drop you a small update on what’s been going on behind the scenes. As you know, roads have been in heavy development for some time now. The fact that the planet is round and lacks a level construction grid for roadworks makes this system quite complicated. But, the good news is, after numerous sleepless nights and rapid hair loss, we figured it out!
- Roads aren’t just going to be cosmetic, they’re going to play an important role in society. They’ll increase Nugget movement speeds across the board, which means we have to factor this into the pathfinding solution. Phew, this is some complex stuff! However, we’re making good progress and we hope to let you play with it soon. For now, here’s a sneak peek:

Bridges
- Okay, get excited again! Bridges are now available in the game, you can truss us. They will help connect Nugget nations together and create shorter paths across previously impassable terrain. The first bridges will be unlocked in the Medieval Era, giving you a useful pathway across water sources and offering Nuggets a speed boost.

Memory usage optimization
- We reduced memory usage by a whopping 20%! Here, take it. It only took us 3 weeks to get it working :/.
- Sound optimization and fixing
- Unity’s audio system is a mess, which means we’ve had to work hard to improve overall sound processing and overhaul our own in-game sound system. If all is well, you shouldn’t get any more weird sounds or clipping issues during your playthrough.
- Save system rework
- We unfortunately still aren’t able to offer backwards compatibility with older saves, due in large part to the sheer amount of changes and new content that ships with every update (changing something like the position of a research item in the research tree can break the game if you already have it unlocked). Keeping track of so many procedural objects and systems while accounting for backwards compatibility will require a massive effort, which we feel is better placed in more exciting content. But, we’re still tinkering with the save system and making constant improvements. The new rework will enable us to save multiple planets that’ll be coming in the full release. Get hyped!
