Kingdom Rush 5: Alliance TD News

[p]Hello Generals,
[/p][p]We’ve been keeping a close eye on the discussions around Dragon Wars, and decided to make a few more changes to the campaign. We want to be transparent with you regarding the recent changes and the reasoning behind our balancing process.[/p][p][/p][h3]Why the changes?
[/h3][p]Since the campaign went live, we’ve seen a lot of frustration regarding gold flow, tower holders and some brutal difficulty spikes from the evolving enemies. While we know our hardcore veterans live for that kind of challenge (and we love that about you) we realized that for a huge part of the community, those spikes felt less like a fair challenge and more like a brick wall.[/p][p]
We want to be clear: our goal isn't to make the game easier. We’ve adjusted things like gold flow, added some extra tower holders and smoothed out those evolution spikes by removing instakill invulnerability, to find an experience that is tough but fair. [/p][p]
