A.V.A Global - jeehyojun

Mercenaries!

As the Level Designer for AVA Global, I'm thrilled to announce the release of our latest game mode, Free2Bomb.

Put your C4 on the Front Line!

In Free2Bomb, we've taken the classic Demolition mode and added an exciting twist to create a fresh and unique experience. The mode closely follows the same rules as traditional Demolition, but with a core battle area that revolves around biological and chemical bombs (C4-F2B).

The EU can acquire and place these bombs anywhere, allowing for more strategic gameplay as you choose the engagement area after installing the bomb. Unlike traditional Demolition mode, the location where the EU installs the C4-F2B becomes the core engagement area.

Mode Tips - C4 could be Anywhere

We've selected India, Junkyard, and Silo as the initial service levels for F2B. The installation area balance for Demolition mission levels favors the NRF defense by default, so it may be better to capture the C4-F2B in the front and engage in the battle in a more favorable area.

Fun Part - Installing C4 in a creative way

But the most enjoyable part of Free2Bomb is setting up C4-F2B in unexpected places and defending them. This brings a fun change of pace from traditional Demolition mode, and we encourage you to experiment with different setups and find your own must-win strategies.

We appreciate our AVA Global users' love of Demolition Mission, and we've been working hard to make it even more enjoyable. Free2Bomb is the culmination of one of our ideas, and we'll continue to work hard to make Avatar even more exciting.

Thank you for playing, and we hope you enjoy the new Free2Bomb mode!

Thank you.

Your AVA Global Level Designer

Patch 1.1.9

Stellar Sovereigns - stellarsovereigns

Added 3 reminder tutorials, for tax rate, pioneers, and military personal, these new tutorials trigger when you are low on income, pioneers or military personal.

Changed the natural rate of pioneer and military personal conversions, now their natural rate is reduced based of excess numbers already available for the empire.

Think of as if it would go out of fashion to become a pioneer, when there is already 100.000 others exists.

This should help with needlessly accumulating a large number of them without changing the formula itself.

Reminder: The natural rate is driven by population crowed factor for pioneers, and unemployment for military
personal.

Also note that political actions and other factors are applied as advertised.
