Build 0.5.7: Alliance Defense, Economy Overhaul, and Realm Replays
13 New 12 Changed 7 Balance 24 Fixed 2 Notice
Highlights
Alliances New #
Defend your allies
Send squads to reinforce an ally's colony, outpost, or held relic and fight alongside their defenders. Alliance play now means showing up when it counts.
Economy Balance #
A bigger, faster economy
Base production is roughly four times higher, mine yields are retuned, resource nodes scale with map size, and resource outposts pay what they advertise.
Replays New #
Watch finished realms
Ended realms now have public spectator replays. Relive the whole war tick by tick, or study how the winners played.
Squads Changed #
Smoother squad commands
Recruiting and ordering squads is redesigned around a recruit card, unit tiles, and a select-then-move flow that hands off cleanly from picking troops to sending them.
Mobile Changed #
A dock for your thumb
The phone layout has a new bottom dock with your five main actions plus a More menu, better press feedback, and windows that fit iOS screens properly.
Everything in this update
Alliances & defense
5 changes Changed Launching a squad at your own or an ally's outpost now reinforces it instead of rejecting the order. #
Fixed Lockdown works on an alliance-mate's outpost again: plant an agent there and lock it down to pin the squads sitting on it. The outpost must be settled — the same control-tick rule as locking down your own — and allied colonies still can't be targeted. #
Economy & balance
6 changes Balance Base resource production is roughly four times higher and mine yields are retuned to match, so building an economy feels faster across the whole game. #
Balance Resource node counts now scale with map size and spread evenly by region, so bigger maps have more to fight over. #
Changed Outpost role upgrades now unlock through their matching structure. Build the structure first, then upgrade the outpost. #
Balance The worker boost for breaking starter protection early now runs for a shorter, capped duration. #
Squads & combat
10 changes Fixed Units that finish training on the exact tick an attack arrives now join the defense of their colony or training base instead of sitting out the fight. #
Changed Squad commands are redesigned with a cleaner recruit card, unit tiles, and a smoother select-then-move flow. #
Changed Nuke impacts now notify both the launcher and the target with unit losses, including lone survivors left at 1 HP. #
New Recalling squads that launched together now opens a picker, so you can turn back just one squad and let the rest fly on. #
Changed Squad orders now open with the top squad already selected, so a quick send is one target-pick away. Shift+click a squad row to grab everything from the top of that base down to it in one go — Select all and single picks still work like before. #
Mobile & map
16 changes New The phone layout now has a bottom dock with your five main actions plus a More menu for everything else. #
Changed Touch feels better across the game: tap to open the resource breakdown, clearer press states, and fewer hover-only interactions. #
Fixed The Launch button in squad orders stays reachable no matter how many squads you have, and Orders is pinned to the top of the sheet. #
New The map now rescues struggling GPUs with adaptive resolution and quality controls, and keeps running even without hardware acceleration. #
Changed On phones, squad windows no longer pile on top of each other. Opening the launcher, Squad Details, or the roster closes the others. #
Changed On touch screens, taps now prefer your own squads and outposts when they overlap someone else's. Tap again to select the other piece. #
Changed Traveling squad groups now fan out beneath the leader like a hand of cards, with big waves stacking deeper underneath, so a multi-squad launch reads as one thick fanned formation on the map at any zoom. #
New Zoomed out, traveling squads show as directional arrows. The center tells you whose squad it is: white for yours, green for your alliance, cyan for friendly, yellow for neutral, and dark red for an enemy. The border tells you what it is doing: red for an attack, blue for a move or return. #
New Relocate your colony straight from the map: your own basic outposts now offer a Relocate action on the action ring and in the target panel once you hold enough control ticks. A confirmation shows the destination, the resource cost, and reminds you the move is instant, only units stationed in your colony come along, and control ticks reset to 0. #
Fixed Map artwork loads about ten times faster, especially on phones: colony, outpost, and squad sprites shrank from roughly 20 MB to 2 MB at the same resolution, and your device now keeps them cached instead of re-downloading them every few hours. #
Realms, replays & bots
13 changes New Finished realms now have public replays. Watch the whole war unfold tick by tick, even if you never played there. #
New Replays are now fully animated: squads fly their attack runs, nukes arc to their targets, relics and wreckages appear the tick they spawned, battles flash at the point of impact, and covert activity shows up as anonymous spy blips. #
Fixed Invited friends can now open a private realm's page and place their starting colony without getting stuck on loading. #
Fixed Server bots recall their squads instead of fighting each other, and battle reports only generate when units are actually present. #
Balance Server bots play sharper: they no longer waste turns on orders the game would reject — they check what they can afford, where their squads can actually reach, and which outposts can launch attacks before acting. #
Balance Bots broadened their tech tree: they now build storage to bank income instead of overflowing it, colony radar to see attacks coming, and covert scan tech to scout targets before committing to a strike. #
Fixed Bots learn from losing: a bot whose attack gets wiped now backs off that target for longer with every defeat instead of re-throwing doomed squads forever. Well-defended players stop drowning in battle reports. #
