Season 3: Epoch of Chaos Starting on September 3rd The calendar will be turned — Matter will once again return to the galaxies on September 3rd! Will you be able to hold them by rallying allies to your side? But beware — your enemies will no longer come alone! Squads Now you can use squads to attack and defend. Here are the key things to know about this feature: - You can form a squad of up to 10 Civilizations on your own. - If you have fewer than 8 Civilizations, you can hire mercenaries: just create a squad and share the link with a friend or ally to let you add their Civilizations to your squad. - Such squads can only be formed between 2 players and may include up to 7 Civilizations. This restriction is crucial, since a carefully chosen mix of Civilizations can grant a massive advantage if used with the right tactics. - The squad creator controls the squad and receives Stardust along with a larger share of the captured Matter per unit of Civilization power — but must also cover all flight costs. - The distribution of Matter between the leader and the mercenaries depends on the power of each Civilization, but the leader always receives a larger share per unit of Civilization power. - Each Civilization’s owner is responsible for healing their own Civilizations. - The morale effect has been reduced to 50%. - The squad inherits the tactics of its leader’s Civilization. - A squad’s morale is calculated as the average morale across all Civilizations in the squad. - A squad’s population is calculated as the average across all Civilizations in the squad. Cooldowns are now enabled: - After a successful attack, your squad must hold the captured galaxy for 1 hour. - Returning home also triggers a 1-hour cooldown, even if your squad or Civilization comes back unharmed. Galaxies with Matter - Around 300 galaxies will be available for mining every 24 hours. - Matter generation will range from 0.1 to 1.5 per minute, following a Gaussian distribution. This means the struggle for the upper zone will be hotter than ever.
