We're releasing a new update for Battlesector. As per usual, please let us know what you think of the list of changes. Your feedback is essential to keep improving the game.

Changes since 1.5.264

General

• This update fixes several bugs and issues and adds expanded functionality to the Crusade game mode

• Added New Skirmish map for SP and MP: Defence of Eonis

• First steps to updating how enemy armies are selected for game modes like Crusade and Planetary Supremacy to try and reduce instances of massively overpowering enemy armies at low player level (more to come on this in the future)

Crusade

• Rework of the level up rewards. There are now 40 upgrades divided in common and rare.

  • NOTE: Old save files will load, but your upgrades will be reset and must be rechosen. If you load a Battle Save then your units will temporarily have no upgrades.

• Upgrades are filtered for Melee and Ranged only upgrades to reduce instances of useless upgrades.

• Added the ability to reroll upgrades by spending Requisition points.

• Added new map layouts to existing map theme: Bastion, Incursion and Necron Ruins

• Added new map theme: Forest Clearing

• Updated Boss Battles to require the elimination of both the Boss and the accompanying Army
