Thanks TinSoldier! Looking forward to seeing space age in action. Not looking forward to being on the receiving end in wars. Will the stats be posted on the release date?

 

[BeerMan]

No details about troop or building upgrades?

 

[NateTheGreat]

Excited about all of the new goodies! Also nervous about our heavy investment into fighter planes, but fate will favor those who adapt ( combination of aircraft).
Can't wait to see new Lotus maze designs v2.0 with +14 walls!!

 

[Horsepower]

JoeG, great job with the update. After reading the fixes I noticed that you left out some. Why isn’t level 4 Assault Rally, war position line up, wrong fragments amounts for attacking atomic, long war search times and of course, chat?

please explain, thank you

 

[Horsepower]

Also, can you please explain to us why you’re nerfing Fighters and planes? Some of us already feel the Fighters are weak. Plus, you’re upgrading Air defense so our Fighters are going to be in big trouble.

 

[TinSoldier]

Some of the Fighter changes are tied to the addition of the 2nd Airstrip. We'll be watching plane use closely with this update.

 

[Rhabarberbarbar]

Thanks for developing this an rolling out soon. Looking forward to the second airstrip available in AA already!

 

[Quagmire]

I'm guessing they don't expect you to need all eight Fighters to kill a base, so you will always have at least two retraining.

 

[NateTheGreat]

We will have another tier of fighters to upgrade and just have to be more careful with them. Having 8 weaker fighters vs 5 stronger fighters balances out. Plus training time is reduced, so I think we won't have so much to worry about.

 

[Arminius]

Hmmm, will fighter cost be reduced if they are weaker than before?

 

[Chadwicke]

Will level 4 assult rally be fixed so there is no 6 second pause

For the build up and the 18 months wait, this is rather an underwhelming upgrade. The only real new concept is the offensive silo and it looks more like a gimmick. The wonders as usual only have 1 really useful one (space shuttle).

Everyone will keep using the same factory troops + assault rally, but with better stats. You get more air space slots but they nerfed the planes, added anti aircraft research and boosted sam. So it’s just all square.

And they’ve been cheap enough to not give a new house while this was due every other age. The last one was in AA so there should have been one in space age.

So 18 months of wait and developments and there’s not a single new unit concept or new tactic. Some patches for cold war age had more content than this space age upgrade. Maybe they should have saved some ideas like assault rally for space age.

Where are you finding info on the new wonders?

Live stream on twitch.tv. You can still watch the archive vid

Space station --- Satellite tactic once a day (7 range reveals and disarms traps) they could've done more with it
Large array --- reduce rally cool down and collect a speed up once a week (a chest)
Lotus temple --- once a day boost economic production by 30% (roads, farms,caravans and oil-wells) for 6 hours ( increased to 12 hrs under peace treaty)
world fair uni sphere --- generates rubies a day (6-10 rubies, lame 50 - 100 i awake) and spawns highest level DEFENSIVE coalition troop when destroyed
( Russians highest defensive coalition then spawns those tanks when destroyed)

Personally i see the lotus temple and space station in use more than the other 2 (every age has its' good and bad wonders)

 

[Dhruv patel]

What's in version 6.9 huh?

Maybe the "coming soon" leader

 

[Dvicious]

Thanks!___!

 

[ali koç]

Uzay çağında ev verilmeyecek mi?

 

[Alexey]

I’m afraid that Lotus Temple bonus will be as usual “upplied to base production”, so in reality it will be like 15-20% boost. Which leaves us only one viable wonder - Space Station.
