Roadmap - Update #02
Planned release date of Update #02: 05.03.2019
1.Expedition Forecast
Basically player has 3 expeditions to choose from. It’s possible to have more choices due to the train station or other factors (random events). The forecast will deliver information about one out of three basic expeditions in advance. Depending on the difficulty the range of forecast may vary.
2.Prices Charts
Prices charts for stimulants, because the player needs to know when the Merchant Company is robbing him and Prices charts for the land market because the player needs to know how much has he (or the bot) overpaid.
3.Merchant Company Boosters
There will always be 3 boosters to choose from, and merchant company will try to personalize one of the boosters for the player and his needs.
4.Black Market - The risk of buying Artifacts
In a nutshell, it won’t be that risky like it is now. Also, all of the cheap Artifacts won’t appear on Black Market’s sales.
5.Black Market - Demand rework
We want to give every artifact at least one chance to appear on demand. Also, we don’t want cheap artifacts on the demand.
6.Generating first 5 explorers and their addictions
To balance the starting condition we want to create situation 2-2-1, which means that on start there will be always 2 explorers addicted to stimulant_1, 2 explorers addicted to stimulant_2 and 1 addicted to stimulant_3. And by 'addicted' we mean that they are very enthusiastic about certain stimulant.
7.Bugs fixes
Like always, there are bugs and we want to fix them.
Highlights: Random events (Ancient Chinese Cure and Need more coffee), launching the game in the best possible resolution, unreadable text in the low resolution
8.Property Management - Interaction with the map
Clicking on nobody’s lands or on lands of your opponent will open the brief note about the land.
9.Schedule of land auctions
The auctions will be prepared in advance and player will have the opportunity to plan next moves depending on the quality of the lands and their potential value. The auctions will be executed the same as in the current version, but the schedule will let you consider saving money for the next round.
10.Expedition Reports
Reports contain all the information about the last expedition. The player can access all reports from the current game in the lobby. It’s super important because the information about the chance of success will be there (and it probably will be 100% or 0%, because Archeo gives % chances only for a certain range of lacking skill, and for Quests with “+” there’s no rng at all). With this tool, the player can learn quicker and better how to evaluate the difficulty of expeditions.
Summary
We want to implement adjustments to the gameplay, fix bugs and solve technical issues.
We won’t deliver you the career mode (or any part of it) in the next update, but we are working around the clock to create high-quality content. After the Update#02, we will talk more about the career mode, how it works and when it’s going to be ready. The presented roadmap is the basic goal for the Update#02, and we will try to deliver you even more!
Cheers!
