Update 1.0.98_r

Features

• Undead research tree with 64 techs;
  
• New playable Undead units:
  
  1. Hunting Fiend;
     
  2. Flesh Collector;
     
  3. Thundering Amalgam;
     
  4. Drake of Progressive Rock;
     
  5. Drake of Hard Rock;
     
• New skills for the playable Undead units (both new and old), including the Grim Pilgrim’s "Call for reinforcements";
  
• New Undead resource: Death Metal, as well as buildings for storing it and extracting: Death Metal Mines and Death Metal Storages;
  
• New building for the playable Undead: Dealer Worm, which allows the Undead to exchange resources;
  
• New defensive structures: Undead Towers and Massive Undead Towers. They can hold ranged units (Hunting Fiend, Grim Pilgrim, Machine o'Flesh, Thundering Amalgam);
  
• Troop Spawn Tool is now in the Sandbox mode — the same that is used in the Map Editor to spawn player’s units;
  
• 4 new Challenge mode maps: Dead city, Take it on the otherside, Clash of the titans, Fall from grace, where you can test the updated Undead;
  

General

• Changed the mechanic of soil defilement:
  
  1. Soil Defilers removed (their model is now used for the Flesh Collector);
     
  2. Defiling Monuments are now built as regular buildings and, unlike other Undead structures, do not require defiled soil beneath them;
     
  3. The limit on Soil Defilers has been replaced with the Defilement resource. It limits the number of certain player buildings, and its capacity can be increased by building Defilement Catchers;
     

Improvements

• Added information about the previously hidden unit stat: "Stability". The higher the Stability, the harder it is for enemies to push the unit away, and the easier he breaks through enemy lines. The same is true for enemy units;
  
• The Twilight Overlord’s Avatar is now highlighted with a unique effect, improving its visibility;
  
• Minor visual improvements;
  
• Minor UI/UX improvements;
  

Balance

• Complete overhaul of prices due to economic changes;

[p]Pupultas!
[p]The updated Undead is almost here. Soon you’ll be able to test the changes yourself!
[p]Where though? Well, beside the campaign and one Endless map (Rock-n-Rolla), in this update we are adding 4 new challenges that will show the Undead in all of their glory!
[p]Today we’re also releasing Abra-Cooking-Dabra! If you like card games, cooking and puzzles — give it a look!

[p]Pupultas!
[p]2 days left before the Undead power surges over 9000!
[p]Another thing we haven’t mentioned yet is the rework of the base expansion mechanic. Right now you need to train Soil defilers, wait till they reach the spot you want, then turn them into Defiling monuments. In the new version we’ve cut those unnecessary steps and you will be able to place Defiling monument right away as usual buildings (their amount is limited as before though, and can be increased with additional Defilement catchers).
[p]We hope easier expansion will make it even more fun!
