Update 1.7.1

[p]
As we anticipated, the 1.7.0 Building Layouts have had a significant impact on the overall balance of Mechabellum, and this makes fast balance adjustments necessary. In the past 24 hours, we have received a bunch of feedback and collected a relatively limited amount of data. After some internal discussion, we have decided to release a balance patch based on current data and feedback. And we are very likely to release multiple balance adjustment patches in the near future.
[/p][h3]Building Layouts[/h3]

[p]Adjustments have been made to all building layouts, and the new layouts will encourage asymmetric formation more.[/p]
[p]The number of Defense Walls in all building layouts has been reduced from 2 sets to 1 set.[/p]

[p]Developer's Note: The new building layouts will be more friendly to asymmetric formations, encouraging more dynamic gameplay.[/p][p][/p][h3]Defense Wall[/h3]

[p]HP 2030 → 1112 (-45%)[/p]

[p]Developer's Note: The adjusted defensive wall will be more easily breached by low-damage units, which will benefit the previously disadvantaged low-damage opening.[/p][p][/p][h3]Rapid-Fire Cannon[/h3]

[p]Range 135 → 130[/p]
[p]Attack target: Air & Ground→ Ground-only[/p]

[p]Developer's Note: The adjusted Rapid-Fire Cannon will be more easily countered by air units. And units such as the Mustang with \[Range Enhancement] can also fight better against it.[/p][p][/p][h3]Initial Units[/h3]

[p]Removed the starting scenario related to Stormcaller.[/p]

[p]Developer's Note: Players in lower MMR ranges have been disliking the Stormcaller opening for a long time, and we have been constantly looking for a suitable opportunity to address it. After the addition of building layouts in 1.7.0, players' dislike towards Stormcaller opening became even stronger, and players in higher MMR ranges have also begun to dislike it. This has given us a good opportunity to finally resolve this issue, and we can finally remove the Stormcaller opening. It is worth noting that after the addition of Hound, Tarantula, Sabertooth, and Void Eye, the number of units opening increased from the initial 12 to 25. Therefore, we believe that removing 4 Stormcaller openings will not have a significant impact on the opening diversity.[/p][p][/p][h3]Unit Reinforcement[/h3]

[p]Significantly reduced the number of units provided by each reinforcement card.[/p]

[p]Developer's Note: After the building layouts were added to the game, the snowball effect in the early rounds has been effectively curbed, which also allows us to rely less on the unit reinforcement cards, which have a similar function. The goal of this adjustment to unit reinforcements is to reduce the number of units on the battlefield in earlier rounds.[/p][p][/p][h3]More feedback[/h3][p]Currently, we are internally discussing the possibility of conducting larger-scale public testing for future patches. We are likely to adjust the testing process and scope in the coming months. Before that, we would like to ask you to leave feedback under this post if you want. More detailed feedback will help us make better adjustments in the future.[/p]

Update 1.7.0

[p][/p][p]Greetings, commanders![/p][p]Update 1.7.0 is finally here. This update will be carried out at 08:30 AM on August 28, 2025, UTC time. At that time, the server will undergo update maintenance for approximately 4 hours.[/p][p]Now let me introduce the main content of this update to you:[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p]

Building Layouts

[p]The building layout consists of a series of buildings on the map. In version 1.7.0, there are 8 different building layouts, and currently, all building layouts are composed of the following 3 types of buildings:[/p][p][/p]

[p]Defense Wall: Defensive walls that block enemy fire. They retract into the ground when friendly units approach, allowing them to pass through.[/p][p][/p]

[p][/p]

[p]Anti-Armor Cannon: A slow-firing cannon that's effective against heavy units. It takes 10 seconds to reload after every 6 shots.[/p][p][/p]

[p][/p]

[p]Rapid-Fire Cannon: A fast-firing cannon that's effective against light units. It takes 2.5 seconds to reload after every 6 shots.[/p]

[p][/p][h3]What is unique about buildings compared to units and devices?[/h3]

[p]Currently, the building layout only appears in 1v1 and 2v2 battles.[/p]
[p]At the start of each game, the system selects 1 from 8 building layouts.[/p]
[p]Buildings appear on the battlefield in round 1.[/p]
[p]The building layouts of the two opponents are always mirroring or flipping each other.[/p]
[p]All destroyed buildings will be rebuilt at the start of a new round.[/p]
[p]Buildings cannot be upgraded or moved.[/p]

[p][/p][h3]Why is the building layout designed this way, and what are the design goals of the building layout?[/h3][p]At the design phase of the building layouts, we had three different levels of goals:[/p][p][/p][p]Main Goal[/p]

[p]Add more information to the round 1 board, reduce the randomness of round 1, and make round 1 gameplay more strategic.[/p]

[p](Note: In the past, the positions of all units of a player were completely hidden from the opponent in round 1, which led to insufficient information available for strategic decisions to be made. As a result, the deployment phase of round 1 is more or less like a game of rock-paper-scissors, with too much randomness and too little strategy. The main objective of introducing building layouts is to add more information to the battlefield in the first round, enabling players to determine their unit selection and position based on the building layout, thereby reducing the rock-paper-scissors nature of the first round.)[/p][p]Secondary Goal[/p]

[p]Encourage less formulaic and more emergent strategies by having a different building layout for every game.[/p]

[p]Optional Goals[/p]

[p]Reduce the snowball effect in the early rounds of a game.[/p]
[p]After adding more info to the round 1 board, we may now take the opportunity to remove some special rules introduced to counter the random nature of round 1.[/p]

[p](Note: In the past, to battle the random nature of round 1, we reduced the deployable area of round 1 by 20m. After introducing the building layout, we can now remove this special rule.)[/p]

[p]Utilize the building layout as a new balance tool for starting units.[/p]
[p]Reduce the impact of buildings on later rounds to ensure that the final outcome of a match is still determined by units.[/p]

[p]As you can see, the building layouts are mainly designed to address issues from earlier rounds, and we try not to change the game too much while doing so.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]Why not design more powerful buildings, and why can't buildings be upgraded?[/h3][p]Mechabellum's battle is automated, where powerful defensive structures will encourage both players to build a large number of static defenses in their own half of the battlefield, thus easily leading to the awkward situation where both players wait for the other to attack.[/p][p][/p][h3]Will there be more building types in the future?[/h3][p]In the future, we will gradually add more building types through updates. These future new buildings will not be overly powerful, but each will have its own unique and interesting aspect.[/p][p][/p][h3]How does the addition of building layouts affect the balance of offensive and defensive strategies?[/h3][p]With the introduction of building layouts, some of the more formulaic strategies will be forced to adapt. According to the test server matches, if properly utilized, these buildings can provide some interesting new opportunities for both offensive and defensive tactics. Both offensive and defensive strategies are pretty viable on the test server.[/p][p][/p][p][/p]

Balance Adjustments

[p]The following balance adjustments mainly target units that are significantly affected by Building Layouts.[/p][p]Titan Units[/p]

[p]Upkeeps 150 → 0[/p]
[p]Unlock cost 200 → 350[/p]
[p]Removed \[Efficient Maintenance][/p]
[p]The cost of all Techs increased by 200[/p]
[p]HP reduced by 10%[/p]

[p]Developer's Note: While the initial purpose of introducing the upkeep concept was to make the Titan one-round kill strategy more viable, we now believe that the Titan one-round kill strategy is too strong at higher MMR ranges, which leads to increased randomness in later rounds. Therefore, we've decided to remove the upkeep concept. This change will significantly weaken the Titan one-round kill strategy, while other Titan strategies will be largely unaffected. In addition, the removal of \[Efficient Maintenance] will provide an additional tech slot for most Titan strategies.[/p][p]Abyss[/p]

[p]HP 74395 → 66955 (-10%)[/p]

[p][/p][p]Battlefield Power[/p]

[p]The area of the Sticky Oil Bombs has been reduced by 20%.[/p]

[p]Developer's Note: Due to the introduction of building layout, the importance of Sticky Oil Bombs in offensive vs defensive match-ups has decreased, so we have decided to reduce the area of Sticky Oil. In the future, we are likely to make even more adjustments to Sticky Oil Bombs and other battlefield powers based on statistical data.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p]

Both Season 5 and Season 6 will arrive one week earlier

[p]To avoid the season update time coinciding with holidays in the second half of the year, we have advanced the launch time of Seasons 5 and 6 by one week. Season 5 will arrive on September 25th.[/p][p][/p][p][/p]

Assitant Grid

[p][/p][p][/p][p]Now, when players move a unit, a grid that covers the entire map will appear. Players can use the shortcut Ctrl+G to toggle the grid, and players can also change the grid's color in the settings.[/p][p][/p][p][/p]

Deployment Area

[p][/p][p][/p][p]The deployment area of the first round has been expanded forward by 20m, and now it is consistent with subsequent rounds.[/p][p]Developer's Note: In the past, to battle the random nature of round 1, we reduced the deployable area of round 1 by 20m. After introducing the building layout, we can now remove this special rule.[/p][p][/p][p][/p]

Lobby Rooms

[p][/p][p][/p][p]Hosts can now remove players from lobby rooms.[/p][p][/p][p][/p]

Optimization

[p][/p][p]We have significantly reduced the performance pressure caused by the Abyss's \[Swarm Missiles].[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p]

Steel Crawler Skin

[p][/p][p][/p][p]The Steel Team defeated the Mobile Force Team in the community event in April. According to the event rules, we have added a new skin to the Steel Skin Pack: Steel Crawler.[/p][p][/p][p][/p]

Building Layout Preview

[p]Greetings, commanders![/p][p]Over the past few weeks, we have been testing the 1.7.0 patch on the test server. Since the number of BUGs found during the test is more than we expected, we have decided to reschedule the release date of Update 1.7.0 from the originally planned August 21st to August 28th, so that we have enough time to ensure a stable launch of 1.7.0.[/p][p]Players on the test server have also raised many questions regarding the building layout. So I would like to take today's preview post as an opportunity to answer these questions. Today's preview is like a short essay explaining our design goals, and you can be the professor if you want.^_^[/p][p][/p][h3]What is the building layout?[/h3][p]The building layout consists of a series of buildings on the map. In version 1.7.0, there are 8 different building layouts, and currently, all building layouts are composed of the following 3 types of buildings:[/p][p][/p][p][/p]

The following are things that we are still experimenting with:[/p]

[p]We are currently testing different selling prices for buildings. The goal is to ensure that players can sell buildings they don't like while not significantly accelerating the game's economic pace. We will decide on this within the next few days.[/p]
[p]We are currently testing the impact of removing Sticky Oil Bombs from the Research Center. And we will make a decision on whether to remove it within the next few days.[/p]
[p]We are testing the impact of the building layouts on units such as Fang, Crawler, Steel Ball, Stormcaller, Mustang, Sledgehammer, Fortress, and Sandworm, and we will finish adjustments to these units within the next few days.[/p]

[p]The above is all the information I can share about the Building Layout System for now. The actual 1.7.0 patch includes content beyond the building layouts, which we will share in detail in the patch notes to be released next week.

See you on the battlefield, commenders![/p]
