DevBlog 41: Update 2.0

31 ENE

Greetings Commanders,

It is our great pleasure in this update to introduce you to new commanders, units, and a brand new cooperative mission: Operation Scarlet City!

But, wait there’s more, this update is also packed with new features which include a Card Progress System, Game Speed Options, and last, but definitely not least, and offline Game improvements.

Our most requested feature, Offline A.I. Skirmish Mode is now here too!

This single-player mode play, with and against A.I. allows you to improve your skills, without the distraction of other players. Take to the battlefield at your own pace!

Thank you for all your continued support & we wish you the best start to 2024.
Let’s dive into the details!

Creed (Global Risk)

Architect (New Horizon)

As you can see, each comes with new special abilities for you to hone your strats and dominate the battlefield with.

Hydra (New Horizon)

Bumble Bee (Black List)

Rebel Black List forces control a Titan mech that’s protected by an invulnerable shield. Secure control over the five pylons on the map to shut down the Titan’s impenetrable defences. Destroy it and save the city from destruction!

Offline AI Skirmish mode
By far our most requested feature is now here. Try out the new Offline A.I. Skirmish mode! Battle against A.I. in Standard Versus, Payload and Battlelines. Other players cannot join these lobbies, so it is the perfect place to hone your skills at your own pace.

Offline Play & Saving
Offline play and saving has been improved. As well as A.I. Skirmish, you can now play Campaign offline with your progression saved and carrying over when you next connect online!

Card Progression System
Show off your favorite units and commanders with the new Card Progression System! Simply play Crossfire: Legion, any mode or mission, to gain experience which can be used to unlock new card frames, avatar portraits, brand new Commander artworks and more!
All of this is accessible on the Army screen. Select a unit or commander and start levelling them up!

Game Speed Option
Game speed can now be changed in Campaign and Custom Games. This allows you to now tune the pace of battle to your mood and growing skill level.

General Fixes

Refresh rate setting now displays in correct order.
Med Pack ability can be cast anywhere on the Battlelines map.

Unit and Building Fixes

The Fire Ant no longer attacks units past its maximum range.
The Imperator can now use the Attack Ground command.

Map Fixes

Building grid visuals have been fixed on the Badlands map.
Visual issues around ramps on the Domination map have been improved.

All this means now is the perfect time to join the fray.

Remember, if you are still Crossfire curious you can try our:

Single-player Content

Campaign Act 1: Missions 1, 2 and 3 which will introduce you to our world and the beginnings of Black Lists story
Skirmish vs. A.I on all multiplayer maps for all your comp/A.I smashing desires with all factions and commanders being available to fight against

Multi-player content

Standard PvP Mode on all multiplayer maps, for head to head player combat
COOP skirmish, to set up custom games with your friends
Battlelines mode, to smash armies together with a total focus on their macro-management
Commander Cardinal, his special abilities and a set loadout of units for you to master

You’ll notice the demo exists in a separate server space aside from the main game to give new commanders a taste of this RTS before purchasing and diving into the main game with our veterans.

For those who love a deep dive and want to completely customize their battlefield experience, here is a guide to the game’s built-in level editor:

DevBlog 36: Update 1.5

8 JUN 2023

Greetings Commanders,

Today we want to expand the strategic depth of our roster system and give you greater deck building options. These changes are, as ever, based on community feedback and we’re confident they will please.

The roster system now has a total of 10 slots. One commander slot, and then three slots for each unit type category, infantry, vehicle/tank and air.

However, unlike the vehicle/tanks units, Infantry and Air rosters currently lack enough units to fill their 3rd slot. So, we will open that slot to all unused available units from the same unit type being selected.

So for example, if the player likes T1 infantry rather than the T2 option, they can now use that 3rd infantry slot to round out their roster. Same thing with the air units. Previously, you had a tough time deciding between the Falcon/Prion/Wasp. Now players will be able to have at least 2 of the available air units for their 3rd unit type slot.

Each faction's transport unit will now be available by default under the Corebase build menu. This affects Standard Versus, Skirmish, Payload, and Cooperative games modes. Battlelines and Brawl game modes do not need air transport to function, while Round Robin does not support slot loadouts and this game mode does not have a corebase, so we can exclude it.

The cutscenes now appear consistently during the campaign
Victory payload container has now a truck model in it
The player now gets experience from finishing the game
The screen now refreshes synchronously with the minimap
The player can now surrender in a 4 player game with 1 A.I.
The defeat screen will not disappear for the player who is defeated in a game which has over 2 teams
The game's host can promote another player to be host during the countdown screen
Optimal mineral gathering workers setup has been returned to 10/10
The A.I. will no longer become unresponsive if blocked from fulfilling a build order

The Locust no longer deals AoE damage only with its 'Final Surge' ability active
Chameleon's 'Liquefaction' ability now also slows allied units
The Scarab's 'Extra Firepower' ability no longer remains active after the Scarab has been picked up by a transport unit
The Paladin's Heal Infantry ability ends after the Paladin has been picked up by a transport unit
Rhino's 'Ghost Kit Ambush' ability no longer remains active after the unit has been picked up by a transport unit
The Stingray's Ghost Sphere ability no longer remains active while the Stingray is carried by a transport unit
The Phalanx's "Hull Down" ability no longer remains active after the unit is picked up by the Scepter transport unit
Researching the Fire Ant's Flame Injectors no longer lowers its range
Arachne do not detect units in stealth any longer
The Grenade trooper unit will no longer cancel its deploy launcher ability when the players press the A hotkey
Dragonfly demo video for its Improved Igniters ability now shows bonus structure damage
Condor's drones now deal AOE damage
The Hyperion Saturation Bombing ability animation will no longer trigger when the ability is not in range yet
Hyperion's 'Jump' ability can now be cast outside its range
The Chameleon's ability "Liquefaction" now works consistently on New Horizon units
Angel's Null Field ability no longer persists after the area of effect vanishes
Upgrading the Black List Watch Tower with “Fortification' no longer fully restores its HP in Standard Versus and Payload game modes
The Icarus' speed is now consistent with previous patch notes
The Pegasus basic attack cannot target air units and not be turned off by air targeting ability
Damage modifying abilities or effects now affect Global risk unit with Armor Plating
The Vulcan is no longer able to extract enemy units

The Payload no longer stalls at its destination before deploying on the Mountainside and Snowbase map

DevBlog 35: Update 1.4

4 MAY 2023

Greetings Commanders,
Another monthly update is here and adds a new fast paced game mode for you to test your command skills on, as well as friends features to help you better coordinate your battles. We’ve also made another large swath of fixes to improve your battle experiences.

Up-to 8 players enter this Free-for-all arena mode, with only one emerging victorious.
All players who enter the Round Robin mode will be matched against each other in rounds. These 1v1 rounds will be fought simultaneously on isolated battlefields within the same map

Each round starts with a short window of time to build units at your core base. You can choose any unit, from any faction, with their abilities already unlocked. Choose wisely, however, as you are limited to 400 minerals, 400 fuel, and 50 population points.

When the build phase is over, you’ll command your units to fight. Survive to win the round and score a point. Once all the rounds and face-offs have been completed, the player with the most points wins.
Quick reflexes, flexible strategies, and a deep understanding of unit synergies and counters will see you prevail.

So, if you ever wanted to know how a behemoth mech and imperator artillery tank combo would fare, or any combination of units really, then this is the game mode for you.

We’ve also added a host of new features that allow you to easily find your friends in game and set up battles either against or with each other.
