Howdy Wastelanders,
The next update ( V0.1.2 ) for Battlefall: State of Conflict has now deployed to the battlefield.
Our game will also be 20% OFF for the duration of this fest ( 28th April - 5th May )
General:
Implemented better pathfinding for all ground units by:
--- Units will now mostly attempt to funnel through smaller gaps to their destination as opposed to finding a longer route.
--- Longer and unblocked routes may be chosen if it's no more than 12 grid spaces longer than the original route.
--- If all else fails, the longer route is preferred.
--- Unit 'nudging' is planned and being worked on for a later update.
________________________________________________

________________________________________________
New units:
* New units are in the works for all Factions but WON'T be producible in this update, however a few of them will spawn as enemies in a select number of EFNET mission maps, including:
* SEL Converter - Insta-kills enemy infantry only. Will provide 200 credits for its side whenever it kills a unit.
* SEL MindBlower - Deploys to enable a distinctly visual zone full of strange energy. Any enemy infantry/tanks that step inside this zone will be instantly converted over to the enemy players side.
* SCRAPPER Strika - A large structure on tank wheels that sends airborne Pipers to its target. Very dangerous ( and expensive ) unit.
Balancing:
* Reduced build-time for Warpad ( 2400 ticks down to 1600 ticks ).
* Slightly increased weapon range of Wastelanders.
* Springer weapon max retargeting count reduced to 5 ( from 8 )
* Increased life-span of Acid-Tank warhead to 300 ticks ( from 150 )
EFNET Mission map changes:
Mission 06:
* Enemy SEL will receive additional backup 3 minutes into the map. ( SEL Mindblowers and SEL Converters )
Mission 07:
Carved access path into area with Patriarch and Scrapper Conyard.
* Added periodic spawns of Strika Tanks for enemy player if playing in co-op mode.
Mission 08:
* Added periodic spawns of Strika Tanks for enemy player.
