Challenge Battle Adjustments - Jan. 30
Commander,
We have made some adjustments to Challenge Battles. Read below for the full details.
CHALLENGE BATTLES
All Challenge Battles:
“Earning double Medals for a Challenge Battle victory is accelerating players into higher leagues more quickly than they can level up their units. We’re adjusting how Challenge Battles work to account for this.”
- When a player has a Challenge Battle, they will still not lose Medals for a Defeat. However, they will now earn normal Medals for a Victory, down from earning double.
- When a player wins a Challenge Battle, they will now also earn bonus Experience.
Unknown Enemy Units:
“This Challenge Battle was triggering very frequently due to commanders. While there are many different units to choose from, the selection of commanders is more limited. In addition, when fighting a commander, exact knowledge of what they do is generally less critical than knowing what a unit does. This Challenge Battle was also triggering frequently for max level players whenever a new unit was released, despite players of that tenure being experienced enough to fight them successfully. We’re making some adjustments to account for this.”
- The Unknown Enemy Unit Challenge Battle will no longer trigger if your opponent has a Commander you don’t have unlocked.
- The Unknown Enemy Unit Challenge Battle now also requires your opponent to be higher player level than yourself.
High Level Units:
“To prevent players from accelerating into leagues where every match would be a Challenge Battle, this battle had a requirement that your average army level had to be within 3 levels of your League’s level cap. This was more restrictive than necessary in practice, and we’re making some changes to allow these to trigger more frequently when facing opponents with high level units.”
- A player’s average army level now needs to be within 4 levels from their League’s cap, up from 3.
- There is now an additional requirement that the opponent’s average army level now must be within 1.5 levels of your League’s cap.
Challenge Battle Bug Fixes:
- Fixed an issue where Challenge Battles based on Medal count didn’t trigger when a player in Master League faced a player in Tiberium League
- Fixed an issue where unit based Challenge Battles were triggered by Commanders.
