Patch Notes: Battlefront Mars

New this week in Battlefront Mars:

New Elite Dragon Unit

“Dragons and legends. It would have been difficult for any man not to want to fight beside a dragon.” Keep an eye on the skies, Martians! The all new highly anticipated Elite Dragon air unit is here! You’ve faced it in battle, now put it in your fleet.

Unlock the Elite Dragon blueprints by spending ONP in the Event Prizes store, and then research them and send them to battle! “You haven’t been bit till a dragon does it.”

Radiation Shields for Transports

Are the recently released Radiation Towers proving to be too big of an obstacle for your armies? Fear not! The Mars Coalition has been sending us shipments of new experimental Radiation Shields for our Transport units.

Secure your Radiation Shield shipments this week by spending some ONP for your favorite Transport units in the Event Prizes store!

More Game Improvements

And that’s not all, Commanders! Here’s a recap of the other “Voice of the Commander” centric game improvements we’ve made this week:

• Players now have the ability to mousewheel and/or click-and-hold scroll the Battle History window. No more clicking arrow to arrow for minutes on end while you try to find that old battle replay link from last week!

To see where the design team currently stands on various Community suggested features and game improvements, check out the Battlefront Mars “Voice of the Martian” Tracker.

New this week in Battlefront Mars:

Radiation Tower

The Radiation Tower is here, and is now available for deployment to your Turret Platforms. Radiation Towers deal instant radiation damage to all units that come near! To unlock it, visit the “Weapon Blueprints” section of the Event Prizes Store to obtain the new blueprints, and then unlock the new tech in your Weapons Lab.

Game Improvements

And that’s not all, Commanders! Here’s a recap of the other “Voice of the Commander” centric game improvements we’ve made this week:

• Mousewheel scrolling support has been added to multiple portions of the UI: Achievement Categories, Change Rank, Battle History, Battle Logs, Leader Training, Equipment Crafting, Relocate Base, Regional Map Bookmarks, Equipment selection for buildings and units, Clan info, Choose Clan Symbol, and Logistics Dispatch now all support wheel scrolling.
• Map bookmarks, Achievements, and Player Settings now support “click and hold” scrolling. If you don’t have a mouse wheel, you can still enjoy the fast, smooth scrolling. Just click and hold!
• The Map Bookmark scroll buttons have also been changed from “left/right” to “up/down” to provide for a much more smooth scrolling experience.

Welcome to Season 13!

Welcome to Season 13! Going into the new season, all Leaderboards and PvP Points are reset, meaning that it’s a fresh start for YOUR Clan to be the new the dominating Clan of the Season, and win the Seasonal Clan Tournament Grand Prize of 10,000 Gold for your Clan at the end of the Season in 3 months from now. Does your Clan have what it takes?

For a sneak peak at what’s coming up this season in Battlehouse games, check out the Developer Roadmap in the most recent edition of the Battlehouse Dev Blog.

Game Improvements

We’ve also made another high in community demand quality-of-life improvement to the settings menu interface!

The immersion based “screen shake” effect that occurs after a building is destroyed is now optional, so players who are sensitive to the screen movement or players that experience additional game lag from the effects can turn them off if they choose to do so.

Head on into the settings menu, scroll down to the new “Enable Screen Shake” preference, toggle it over to “No”, and then hit “Apply” if you want to turn the effects off at any point.

Central Computer Level 9

🎄 Happy Holidays, Commanders! 🎄

We’ve been hearing your feedback loud and clear, and we’re ready to celebrate the holidays on Mars with the mega update you’ve all been patiently waiting for. Effective today:

The Central Computer level cap is raised to Level 9, paving the way for new maximum levels for your production, and storage buildings!

Elite Rainmaker & Marine Upgrades

Keep an eye on your Gunships, Commander! The Elite Rainmaker unit is here, along with some new maximum level upgrades for the Marine.

• The Elite Rainmaker is a spiffed up version of the Rainmaker that does more damage, and does splash damage.
  • The Elite Rainmakers that have been on the event map bases have been replaced with “Mercenary Rainmakers” to avoid changing the gameplay difficulty balance.
• The Marine gets 2 more levels, and is now upgradeable to L12.

Turret System Update

The Mars Coalition has made a huge technology breakthrough, and our Turret Systems are ready for an overhaul!

• To update to the new “turret head system”, you’ll have to have at least Central Computer Level 4. Click any turret at your base, followed by the Update System button. This will allow you to build Turret Emplacements with changeable Turret Heads.
• Go to the Defense section in the Build menu to build a Turret Emplacement.
• Each Turret Emplacement has it’s own level, and each Turret Head has its own level independent of the emplacement.
• Click any built / completed Turret Emplacement followed by Change Weapon to build any unlocked Turret Head.
• After clicking Change Weapon, select the unlocked Turret Head that you’d like to build on that Turret Emplacement.
  • Note: Currently only the Auto-Cannon, Thunder Cannon, and Devastator are enabled, but we’ll enable the Radiation Tower, EMP Cannon, and LRAT at a later date.

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!
