General improvements and adjustments have been made across the game client to enhance overall functionality and player experience.

Free and Season Passes

Season Pass and Free Pass

Daily and Weekly Quests
- The Free Pass is available to all players, offering a variety of rewards as you progress through the season. For those looking to enhance their experience, the Season Pass unlocks even more exclusive items.
- Typically, each season will last one month and feature different rewards. After a season ends, your archieved rank, Free Pass and Season Pass are resetted.
- You can progress through the pass by completing daily and weekly quests, as well as by playing games. Daily and weekly quests will advance you further than simply playing matches.
Soulbound and Blessed items

Blessed Item with quality and Souldbound Item without quality
- We are introducing a new type of item: Soulbound Items. Going forward, there will be two categories of items—Soulbound Items and Blessed Items.
- Blessed Items, which are our current NFTs, remain unchanged. We've simply given them a name to distinguish them from the new Soulbound Items.
- Soulbound Items are virtual counterparts to Blessed Items. Each Blessed Item has a corresponding Soulbound version, with specific limitations in power, functionality, and usability. These items are designed to be accessible to all players and are an important feature to pay attention to.
- Soulbound Items are bound to your account and cannot be transferred. They are virtual assets and do not exist as NFTs on the blockchain. You can find them in your inventory in the newly added tab "Overview".
Main Menu and Notification Markers

Rearranged main menu and notification markers
- We've introduced notification markers on important features to guide players towards key actions and progress, while also decluttering and organizing the main menu screen. These changes are designed to help you navigate the game more smoothly and make the most of every opportunity.
Shop - Season Pass

Offer Season Pass
- Each month a new Season Pass is released. Check out the shop for your premium rewards throughout the seasons.
- Whether you want to skip the grind or complete it faster, you can unlock levels quickly by purchasing individual Season Pass Levels. Simply navigate to 'Season Progress' under 'Seasons' and unlock the level you desire.

🎮 Gameplay

At times, significant changes are essential to establish a strong foundation for the future. By blending new concepts, refining existing features, and introducing fresh elements, we aim to achieve our vision of an immersive, strategic, and entertaining game. We're excited to bring this renewed experience to our community once again

⚠️ Values are subject to change at any given time

Action Economy - Stamina ⚡
- The new Stamina system is the essential mechanic that opens up gameplay and makes it more dynamic. With Stamina, players now have the freedom to make multiple actions (move & attack) in a single turn, bringing a higher level of excitement and depth to the game.
- At the start of each turn, the player gains 10 Stamina Points ⚡ (SP). Each action of one unit - e.g. moving one tile, attacking an enemy or healing someone - will cost 1 SP. Attacking and healing are hard-actions, so the unit is immobilized afterwards.
Domination Points 💢
- Domination Points will directly damage the commander's health after each turn. No damage will be dealt if both players hold an equal number of points.
- Damage will scale with the number of Domination Points controlled, with 1 point causing 200 damage, 2 points causing 300 damage and 3 points causing 400 damage. No damage will be dealt if both players hold an equal number of points.
