New minimap & tactical map, along with a proper notification system View this email in your browser Patch 9 Tactical Map, Minimap and News System We've just deployed an update to our servers and game client. The main improvement is a completely reworked tactical and minimap, showing a more detailed battlefield and an improved overview. Tactical Map Markers, Clarity & Zoom-Out

The tactical map needed improvement, so we came up with a unified concept of how to make tactical map and minimap work. You'll now see a beautifully drawn map that clearly displays paths, terrain types, and your team's line of sight. You can also easily see friendly and enemy units without clutter. The best thing? Team leaders are now able to place markers for their team: "All focus blue square!" New Minimap Battle Overview

One common bit of feedback we received from you was that the minimap wasn't giving you enough of an overview of the battlefield. We knocked heads together (game designers & user interface designers) and built a much improved, more beautiful, and definitely more useful minimap! Notifications You'll hear from us

We've added a system to the game through which we can notify you about important game updates. If the servers are offline due to an update, the game will tell you (no more wondering why). More Bonus Info Also for Special Events

We're now displaying not only your first daily victory bonus and your diversity bonus, but we'll also display bonuses that occur for certain events, determined by us (the developers). Launcher Build Notification Update your game!

The launcher will now tell you when you need to update your game client, after we've released a new patch. No more joining an old game version. Stability Improvements Fewer crashes

We've fixed several crashes, both in the front-end and in battle. Additionally, we've made various tweaks to improve our server architecture. Overall, this will bring you a more stable and smoother gameplay experience. Sign up or invite your friends
