We’re glad to announce that the new expansion of WW2:TCG called STRONGHOLD will be available on the 28th of May.
- 57 new Cards + 34 Crafted Elite Cards + 15 Diamond Cards.
- Structures: A new type of Unit, these new 10 cards will work completely different from the other units with special rules.
- New Raid: The Fall of Berlin, you will battle against the last German Defense.
- New H. Mission: Battle of the Bulge, fight against the forces of the German Army to obtain the newest cards of the expansion.
- New Battle Screen Interface: We updated the interface and improved several functions of the battle engine.
- 2 New Maps: 20 new levels to complete in Normal, Hard and Master difficulty with exclusive Stronghold rewards.
- New Quests to complete with a new daily Quest: Win 5 PvP matches that will grant gold. Also the Jeep Card will be available for purchase with quest points.
- More than 80 Cards have been adjusted: Several cards have been improved to balance all faction/type of cards.
- New Crafted Cards from Basic and Sealords Expansion: 20 new Epic Elite Cards will be available for craft.
- New Diamond Cards from Basic and Sealords Expansion: 26 new Diamond Cards will be available for craft.
- A complete overhaul of the Order Cards: They have now the same rarities that the other cards: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Legendary, Epic Elite, Legendary Elite and Diamond.
- Recruit-a-Friend: Invite you friends to the game and you’ll receive rewards.
We have three clear goals on this Expansion:
1) Make all type/faction decks available to play competitive in PvP and Raids.
2) Add a different type of Unit with a new function and “limitation”.
3) Maintain the current progression of the players but add more possibilities to choose.
About the Balance changes, we’ll posting the entire list of changes next week along with the list of the cards that will have new Elite and Diamond versions.
Also, we’d like to explain in depth the changes in the orders that we did:
All the legendary Cards that have a “direct” Diamond version now are Legendary Elite Craft but they maintain all their abilities intact.
Now, there is a Diamond version for Orders like the other cards (for Epic and Legendary Elite) and they cost only 10 designs (from the new expansion) instead of 20.
We didn’t want to “demote” the Diamond versions to Legendary Elite because was like “stealing” diamond cards from the player even the cards did exactly the same. In the other part, adding an intermediate version of the cards was really difficult because reduced the options that we have to improve the orders. At the end we decided to go with the “demotion”, create new diamond versions (with new abilities/improvements) and reduce the cost of crafting (10 new designs). The reason behind to use the new designs is because they all use the same and we can give rewards that can be used for all players regardless the faction.
News:
- 8 Diamond Cards without Elite version have changed to Legendary Elite.
- 8 Legendary Elite cards have a Diamond version.
- 2 Epic Elite Orders have a Diamond version (Fear & Coalition).
- 2 new Epic Elite Orders (Heavy Bombardment & Medical Research)
Changes:
- 8 Diamond Cards without Elite version have changed to Legendary Elite.
Besides these new changes, we did several improvements on the game such as:
- Ability Descriptions: All the abilities have now the same wording and they’re exactly showing the effect that they you.
- Card/Ability Search: You will be able to search for Cards or Abilities in the Deck Builder.
- PVP Matches: Fixed an issue on PvP that caused the match to freeze or desync.
- Server: We changed how some of the server calls are handled and therefore we improved the connectivity.
- Gameplay Issues: We fixed several abilities and cards that we reported in the forums.
The expansion is really close, get your Army ready!
Best Regards,
