New this week in Thunder Run:

Vault Updates

Tired of returning from a break to find your lovely base in shambles, your army destroyed, and not enough hardware to get back on your feet? Those days are over. The Vault has been significantly expanded. The Vault at L7 through L24 can now hold more Hardware (see the chart below), and has had its capacity significantly increased at all levels. Each Vault level was carefully calibrated to ensure you can repair the most expensive army available at your TOC level.

Level 16 Elite Stryker/Elite Gaz Tigr

The Level 16 Elite Stryker and Elite Gaz Tigr are here.

As with the recent max unit level increases, your Level 16 Elite Stryker and Elite Gaz Tigr will feature improved stats and no increase in battalion space requirements. As with any improvement in power, there is an increase in cost, production time, and repair time.

The best part about it? No blueprints are required for upgrading. As long as you have TOC12 and the new building levels for your Academy and Barracks, you can upgrade away!

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.

To see where the design team currently stands on various Community suggested features and game improvements, check out the Thunder Run Voice of the Commander Tracker (tracker will receive some clean-up and updates to formatting in the very near future).

For a sneak peak at what’s coming up down the road, check out the “Developer Roadmap” in the most recent edition of the Battlehouse Dev Blog.

Good hunting, Commanders!
