Steel Legions Update Adds New Visuals, Gameplay

The Steel Legions May Update has arrived and with it, a slew of cool new visual effects. But that’s not all, there are also some interesting gameplay improvements and additions as well.

The game map has been completely revised and many details, such as clouds and birds, now embellish the game world. Shadows have been improved and the overall performance has been optimised. Suggestions from the Steel Legions community have been implemented. For example, the mission balancing has been extensively reworked, players now have tighter missions and fairer enemies available to them.

The matchmaking has also been improved, so that waiting times are shorter and players no longer have to wait in the headquarters for new missions to be assigned. In addition, five new team members - doctors, trainers, weapons experts, machinists, and engineers - with a variety of skills are now available. Along with PvP (player vs. player) missions, Steel Legions users can also expect new PvE (player vs. environment) missions. If players can’t find an opponent, they can face a powerful marauder boss and test their mettle against him.

The Beauty of Summer

The improved map and graphics catches the eye right away. Our artists enhanced the environment with various rich detail: stones, trees, birds, rainy clouds and supply zeppelins beautify the overall picture of the game. The area around the headquarters has been rearranged and is now prepared for the next big milestone. Though the visuals have been improved greatly, our team managed to increase performance and support older graphics cards. The map now features more player factories. You are back to action quicker than before.

A New Way of Winning

Match making and mission balance have been overhauled completely. If you’ve requested a mission at headquarters you can now leave the area, explore the map and hunt marauders. You are not limited to stay close to your base anymore. Shortly before your mission starts, you get an information to report back to headquarters where you’ll meet your team. The balance of missions has improved too and several problems were fixed. The transporter is no longer an impossible target. Also, if your team is noticeable weaker than the opponents team, your mission target will get a slight support bonus. You are never left without a chance.

Fighting Marauder Bosses

Players unlucky to find matching opponents will enjoy the new way how marauder missions work. They are now of the same length and provide the same benefit than normal missions and are properly balanced. We start with one mission type, where the you and your team have to fight a strong marauder boss. A thrilling battle and every hit counts. You are assigned to marauder missions if no matching player is online or if you’ve waited too long for a match. More types of marauder missions will be added soon.

New Crew Members, Xentime Alloys & Level 20

Five new crew members are reporting in. Medic, drill sergeant, weapons expert, machinist and engineer can now be hired and trained to their maximum level. Don’t hesitate to lead those brave men and women into combat. The brand new Xentime alloy is now available to upgrade your combat colossus. It might provide the defining bonus against your rivals. Better have a look at the screenshots right away. Also, the level 15 limit is now removed and replaced with a new level 20 cap.
