Diplomacy is Not an Option News

[p]Pupultas!
[p]We continue shedding light on the changes the upcoming version will bring. Today we’ll look into the updated roster of units (and not only).
[p]First of all, though the Undead still prefer their own bodies as walls, the advantage of elevation is clear even for them. As such, they’ve developed construction techniques that allow for building special platforms from where they can shoot farther.
[p]Obviously, the new towers need more units to occupy them. The Hunting Fiend will make sure to rain death on those who dare to oppose the Song.
[p][p]Despite it not being a new unit, we can’t ignore Grim Pilgrims. You asked and we are delivering: they will be able to spawn their support group. Yes, the same way they can do it when they are the enemy (well, almost). You are paying for the research, though.
[p][p]It’s always fun to watch whole armies explode in Diplomacy is Not an Option. So we’ve added a new artillery unit that creates explosions amidst enemy ranks — Thundering Amalgam. It may seem to be just an improved version of Machine O’Flesh, but both of them have their own strengths and weaknesses.[p][p]Drakes now have two more variants: apart from the Drake of doom, there are now the Drake of Progressive rock and the Drake of Hard rock, each with their own skill!
[p][p]The old Soil Defilers were also repurposed: now called Flesh collectors, they are a mobile wall unit that can cocoon and ignore damage, protecting their more squishier peers.
[p][p]And a small video so you can see some of them in action!
[p]These are new units that will soon be added with the next update. As usual, we’ll be back with more news. Stay tuned!

[p]As you already know, the next update reworks the Undead. So today we are looking a bit more into what exactly will change.
[p]Currently, gameplay for the Undead isn’t as deep as it is for Lord’s forces: the economy is simplistic, there’s less unit variety and no way to upgrade them. The upcoming update is aimed to rectify that — new units, new skills, research tree increase the number of available tactics, while a new resource expands the economy system.
[p]Adding a resource to the economy, however, has not complicated it. To make sure the Undead are as fun to play as before (and even more fun) we’ve introduced to the game the Undead equivalent of the Market. The Dealer Worm will exchange resources you need for resources you have!
[p][p]Simply open the exchange menu, choose a resource you want to receive and the one you are ready to offer, set up the amount to trade with a slider and confirm — the Dealer Worm will do the rest!

P.S. Here's a short video to satiate your curiosity.

[p]It’s spooky season! And what can be more fitting for Halloween than a custom map where you find yourself among the raging zombie apocalypse?
[p]This is what this month’s map — Operation Raccoon City — is about. Why is it so special? It throws two protagonists in a city amidst crowds of turned citizens. That’s all your forces and it’s already too late to build defenses or economy. I’s just two people among the sea of enemies.
[p]Your only chance to survive is to fight your way through the infected tide towards the only available barracks, where you can hire some archers — so grab all resources you see. The city is doomed, but you still might have a chance…
[p][p]The map is beyond difficult. It will make you reload again and again… but sometimes the process of surviving is more fun than winning. Give it a try!
