New Leader Upgrade System
Getting tired too many duplicate leaders taking up precious space in your warehouse while you work towards those high level leader upgrades? A new Leader Upgrade System is here!
Upgrading Leaders:
There are now 2 different ways you can upgrade your leaders:
- The “Merge” Upgrade System (Old Method) – This is the system that you’re already used to. Purchase duplicate L1 leaders and combine them to make more powerful higher level leaders. For a full guide on how to upgrade leaders via the merge method, check out our YouTube Tutorial here.
- Players that already have leader upgrades in process, or already have combinable duplicate leaders in their Warehouse will see the old “merge” based upgrade system when you enter the leader upgrade menu.
- The “Promote” Upgrade System (New Method) – Players that don’t have any duplicate leaders will see the new “promote” upgrade system. Promoting your leader with the new system only requires 1 copy of the leader you’re trying to upgrade and a new “Promotion Order” item that can be purchased from the Event Prizes Store (in the Leaders section in front of Alpha Team).
- Promotion Orders are more expensive than a leader, but the Hardware cost and time required to Promote is significantly less than combining multiple leaders.
For more information on the new leader upgrade system, check out Issue #7 of the Battlehouse Dev Blog.
Game Improvements
And that’s not all! We’ve also made some improvements to the settings menu interface!
- The settings menu is now scrollable, allowing for more player preference options.
- A new setting option now gives players the ability to toggle the mousewheel scrolling behavior for in-game chat, and regional map zooming.
- Soon more setting options will be added that allow players to toggle screen shaking effects, and in-game chat window orientation. Stay tuned!
