Balancing changes to Tactical map (New Boot Camps)

We are really happy with how the New Boot camps generally turned out, we hope all the late-game players enjoy the hastened progression, tons of support units and generally re-vitalized gameplay!

And while the new BC progressions speed and limits seem to be well set, we did notice that some of the top old-time active players (with a ton of badges boosts, investors etc.) seem to be reaching for new BCs at a rate that is a bit alarming. We wanted to hit a soft spot of 1-4 weeks between reaching new BCs (after reaching the first one), as that would keep a great gameplay experience pace, that doesn’t require too much manual work all the time, as well as doesn’t cause potential “power creep”, which is important for long time game integrity!

So we decided to implement a change we had in reserve, that will prevent new BCs being reached too fast, as you gather more and more boosts via various activities – especially with the upcoming Research system, which will add more boosts to both Boot Camp and War Zone, and automation unlocks/options which will generally optimize gameplay and speed up progression even more.
So from today onwards, we’ve changed the minimum limits to start new Boot Camps to start at 1e200 Power Points, and increase by 1e10 (only from 4th Boot Camp requirements onwards) for each next Boot Camp. This requirement will cap at 1e250.

This means that the first 2 new Boot Camps will still remain at 1e200 requirement, which ensures that everyone can reach the first extra bonuses quicker, and beyond that it will take a bit longer. These are just changes in place that will allow us to add additional boosts via Research system, be more generous with event rewards etc.

We hope you enjoy the new Boot Camps – we will continue looking to improve the experience, so if you have any other suggestions/feedback regarding this feature make sure to let us know via Reddit!

P.S.: We will share more info on Research system next week, as the release of that feature is very very close as well :)

Major update overview: Late-game rework – extending Boot Camp gameplay

Unfortunately, we had a few unforeseen things to deal with and were not able to complete the updates properly to release this week as we had initially hoped (plus we wanted the current competition week to end), but we will definitely be able to release it this coming week!

Currently, we aim to release on Monday or Tuesday, during which there will be a maintenance period of 1-6 hours as we’ll have to adjust some things with user states to properly work with all the new improvements and new content. However, as this is a major update that deals with some of the core code and user states, we’d like to ask for your understanding should any additional delays happen – things are currently looking good, but we want to be as certain as possible that things will work properly in all areas from the start.

We just wanted to give you a heads up, especially if any of the coming changes might affect your choice of strategy in the coming days. For this purpose, and to get you a bit more familiar with the details of the update, we’ve prepared a condensed overview of the update below:

This particular update is set to revitalize boring late-game Boot Camp (BC) gameplay, provide you with un-drainable source of replenishing your support units and with that keep late-game War Zone (WZ) more dynamic, resolve the annoying “quick deploying” issue, spice up the weekly competitions and resolve some issues there, give you different strategy options/game focus, and also introduce some game optimizations (front and backend), that will allow us to scale the game further and improve your experience.

Tactical Map – extending Boot Camp gameplay
Reaching 1e200 Power Points in Boot Camp allows you to start commanding a New Boot Camp from scratch, giving you plenty of (long term)benefits:
A permanent support units MX when deploying (min +100%, +3% for starting a new BC with every e1 (X10) higher than minimum)
Specialize your new Boot Camp in a certain military branch (your land/air/sea units
