March Development Note - Resource Island Buff & Club Shooting Range

Greetings, Admirals!
This is Ja-ram Jeon, Lead Producer of Gunship Battle: Total Warfare.
How are you enjoying World War League 5.0?
The second round of WWL 5.0 is approaching this week, and we look forward to seeing all Admirals participate in the battle!
Today, we’d like to introduce the newly implemented Resource Island Buff, along with other upcoming improvements.
Let’s take a closer look at the details.

[h3][Permanent Resource Island Buff][/h3]
With the Ship Max Level Expansion, we doubled the number of items required for Ship upgrades.
However, this led to a relative shortage of resources.
To address this, we launched a Resource Island Event following the February update maintenance.



Many Admirals have shown interest and are actively gathering resources from these Resource Islands.
In response to this, we’ve decided to make the event permanent so that Admirals can collect even more resources consistently.
We hope you continue to make good use of the buffed Resource Islands to maintain a steady supply of resources.

[h3][New Club Shooting Range – Food to Steel][/h3]
Many Admirals have expressed their opinion on adding a feature to exchange Food for Iron.
As Food tends to accumulate more quickly than Iron, we are adding a new Club Shooting Range where Food can be used to obtain Iron.
Unlike the existing Shooting Range, which has no limits, the new Food Shooting Range will have a daily usage limit.
Make sure to visit the Club every day and take advantage of this feature if you need Iron!
We've also received requests to increase the resource exchange limit in the Black Market.
Although this will not be included in the upcoming update, we acknowledge the demand and will review it positively for future implementation.

[h3][Rally Chat Improvements][/h3]
Previously, we announced Rally Chat improvements in the January Development Note.
However, due to technical issues found during testing, this feature was postponed.
The updated Rally Chat will now be applied during the March update.
With this improvement:
- Rally Status will no longer be displayed in Alliance Chat.
- A new Rally Icon will appear at the bottom of the screen when a Rally is initiated.
- A new Alliance Rally Tab will be added to the Alliance News menu to display information about Rallies separately.
We hope this change helps prevent Rally Notifications from disrupting Alliance Chat discussions.

[h3][Armada Fleet & Royal Armada Fleet Level Expansion][/h3]
Higher level Armada Fleets and Royal Armada Fleets will appear after the March update.
The maximum level will be expanded differently for each World Zone:
- World Zones 1 & 2: Armada Fleets → Up to Level 55, Royal Armada Fleets → Up to Level 60
- World Zone 3: Royal Armada Fleets → Up to Level 50
Higher level Armada Fleets will spawn closer to the Central Sea Area.
We hope this expansion provides an even more exciting challenge for all Admirals.

[h3][Alliance Notice Improvements][/h3]
Alliance Notices play a crucial role in Alliance Management.
However, we’ve noticed that Alliance Notices are not always visible enough to all members.
To improve this:
- The "Pin to Chat" feature will be added, allowing Alliance Notices to be pinned in Alliance Chat.
- Links (Coordinates, URLs) will be supported in certain in-game mails.
These improvements will be applied with the March update.

[h3][Final Notes][/h3]
Today, we introduced the March update features and improvements.
We will continue working to create a better gameplay experience for all Admirals.
As always, your feedback is invaluable to us. Please continue to share your thoughts so we can refine and enhance Gunship Battle: Total Warfare.
