I really think I fixed the enter/exit vehicles bugs this time. But I need you all to test it!

The group of survivors has grown, this time with a tank and an entire camp behind it! Including the heavily armed (AI) soldiers in the camp, you are not fighting alone, we are all survivors tonight!

The core of the game is endless defense, trying to survive as many waves of attacks as possible, protecting the walls of the camp from being broken down, and your tanks from being overwhelmed!

There are many ways to defend. You can:

• Recruit AI soldiers: let them hide behind your steel butt and do their best!
  
• Reinforced tank: 37mm water pipe is too small! Get a thicker one!
  
• Upgrade the camp: let soldiers get stronger logistics! Combat power doubled!
  
• Choose strategy and specialization: Let’s be honest, this is the card drawing system of Auto Chess! 6 major arms X 6 major specialties, used to strengthen your soldiers! There are also 3 types of equipment cards on the way to strengthen tank main guns, machine guns, and defense towers!

What should I do if got heavenly hand cards and felt that I am too strong?

A special introduction to the level-skipping system! You can decide to skip up to 10 waves of attacks at one time based on your luck, and you can choose to skip levels after each wave of attacks, whatever you want!

What are the rewards? This may be hard to say. Anyway, a large amount of gold will be given to you at once to make you enjoy card drawing, but there will be no additional material rewards. After all, the skipped levels will also avoid the loss of soldiers... As the saying goes, if you don't lose, you make a profit!

The economic system is also worth mentioning. We have two currencies: gold and materials. Golds are needed to do everything. Materials are used to upgrade buildings and recruit powerful soldiers. In addition, the monetary rewards for killing soldiers and killing tanks are different...It’s worth thinking carefully about when to last hit.

Of course, the above are only the gameplays that have been implemented or mostly implemented so far. Some new features are being worked on, and more cards are also planned! If this game is lucky enough to meet a group of enthusiastic players who support individual independent game development, everyone is welcome to go to the official Discord https://discord.gg/a67Esb2p to leave various feedback, including balance suggestions, BUG reports, or prospects, I will do my best All you can!

The generated version of the game has been submitted and is expected to be officially released on March 5. Thanks to the 19 unknown friends who added the game to their wish list before I did any promotion. Your support gives me great motivation!

We’re announcing two premiums that are available for pre-order from today: the Type 90B “Fuji” for Japan, and the Merkava Mk.3 Raam Segol for Israel.



Type 90B tanks are deservedly considered one of the best vehicles in the Japanese ground forces tree. Firstly, this tank’s 120 mm gun has an auto loader, allowing you to fire rounds from the first-stage ammunition rack with a reload time of just 4 seconds! Secondly, this tank is very mobile and has unique hydro pneumatic suspension, giving it the ability to peek in and out from behind low objects or hills. The Type 90B “Fuji” is a special premium version of the Type 90, featuring the Third Company of the Fuji School Armored Instructor Regiment insignia.




To pre-order from the in-game hangar, go to Shop > Online Store.

69.99

• Type 90B “Fuji” (Rank VII, Japan)
  
• Premium account for 20 days
  
• 2500 Golden Eagles
  
• Pre-order bonus: unique “Golden tank” title

The Merkava Mk.3 Raam Segol is an experimental version of the Israeli Army’s Merkava Mk.3 main battle tank, featuring the Raam Segol. In real life, this system automatically turns the tank’s turret in the direction of the laser and releases smoke grenades automatically. However in game, we’ll not be implementing this functionality as in many instances, it would interfere with the player’s control mid-combat. In-game, the Raam Segol will warn about the direction from where a laser is and the player will be able to launch smoke grenades or maneuver away as normal. In addition, this tank features thermal imaging, an effective APFSDS shell and a HE-TF shell.

The Merkava Mk.3 Raam Segol is a premium and is available for pre-order, giving you the unique “Purple Thunder” title, which is the translated name of Raam Segol, and a decal!

Commanders,

We’ve just released update 2.00.33

Changes

• Tutorial Rework
  Dev notes: Changes have been made to improve the new player experience. The tutorial functions the same except the pacing of the first mission is much faster. We felt it dragged a little too much, especially during the first few waves. We hope new and returning players enjoy the rework.
  
• Early game balancing / Pacing improvements
  Dev notes: Additionally we have made further improvements to the pacing and balancing of the earlier game. Waves, especially earlier ones will progress quicker and we have boosted the starting credits during some deployments to provide more flexibility and room for experimentation during the first few waves. We hope new and returning players enjoy the rework.
  
• UI Improvements (Better feedback and responsiveness in some situations)
  
• Artillery turret no longer has to reload when first built. It will fire immediately after construction
  
• Airstrike base damage slightly increased across all damage types
  
• Machine gun turret range increased slightly (all levels)

Fixes

1. Players could not build anything if the camera is adjusted during the initial tutorial

As always, thank you for your feedback!

Good luck and have fun!
