Hey guys,
Undoubtedly, most of you have noticed that another patch has been released for this month. On top of the various Warmap stuff and Royal Engineers being released and implemented, two major aspects of company building have been modified. Yes, I am referring to Oversupply and the new Weapons Cache Pool.
Oversupply is gone, I took it behind the shed and shot it dead. Next item.
We have a new pool to replace oversupply, this is called the Weapons Cache pool, and it is exactly what it sounds like, a pool for weapons and upgrades.
It's very simple, upgrades and weapons that are consistently spammed or deemed powerful enough shall draw from this weapons pool along with it's subsequent resources. Once the pool is drained, you can no longer purchase items that draw from that pool.
So, as the numbers are plugged in, you will see a dramatic drop off in some types of strategies that rely heavily on a particular weapon or an upgrade, etc. However, now that we have another category by which to restrict the usage of upgrades, players might very well see price reductions in the cost to employ such weapons. Panzerschrecks may come down in price, as well as thompsons, allowing your companies more flexability while not necessarily increasing the concentration of the weapons that get their price reduced.
Quite simply, this new pool is supposed to be a tax on spam, it's not designed to make companies boring and uniform.
If you have any questions about this new system, I am always on vent. (most days)
Thanks guys,
