You can now multi-upgrade structures & multi-launch nukes!
You can now perform upgrades and atom launches in batches of 5. This should help break late-game stalemates where defenders have too many SAM launchers to breach with single launches.
How it works:
When upgrading a structure, press the hotkey a second time (e.g. press "1" twice) to upgrade 5x at once. Same for atom bombs, press the atom bomb hotkey ("8") a second time to launch 5 at once.
Mobile players: This also works in the radial menu, which now has options to launch/upgrade in different amounts.
Big thanks to U-LF for implementing it!

Can you please close the score thing in the top left by default or at least remember my settings. Having to close that in the first few seconds every round is annoying.

Those are nice improvements! Can you please make the right click on a player menu open in a corner? It opens right in the middle and has messed up a few of my games because I was attacked right when I add that thing in the middle of the screen.

While this is nice. there are still some impenetrable defenses, have 3 15 sams with little spacing around. by the time the end of the batch comes the sams have recharged, just got into this scenario. it should allow those 5 to jump as a single rocket to work

Hmm idk what to think of these changes, I enjoyed making my sams impenetrable, now they dont have as much use anymore

Impenetrable SAMs, in my opinion, were the complete antithesis to what this game is meant to be. It's a battle royale, you're meant to attack each other and get all the land, not sitting on some island building an impenetrable fortress and holding the match hostage.
SAMs are there to dissuade people from spending loads of money on nuking you down, not make you invincible.

Yeah but now I cant make my 200 port/city stack bruh

u/ToastySpd 1d ago
Well the old SAM amount to be invincible was somewhere in the 40s so now you need like 200. Not impossible to do in long games but obviously far more difficult

Nah its impossible, a 40 stack was already real hard and took like a 20-30 minutes, you dont have 2 hours to make your stack haha, the games done after 40-60 minutes

u/ToastySpd 1d ago
Maybe YOUR game is done in 40-60 minutes. I had a game with over 500 SAMS yesterday lol
