[LeCastel]

Great changes, fixes and additions. Especially to the walls and archers. Now I'm actually using them!

How does the archery tower placement work? I literally have to go to the other side of the map to be able to play a second 1 and I've seen loads of people spamming them anywhere.

Hey CubeCrafters!

Today we're excited to be announcing an update for our newest game Colony Control! We're glad that people are enjoying this game - it has been great to see all your feedback, and know that we're reading all of it!

Walls Revamp, Gates & Archer Towers!

After reading feedback and playing public games, we noticed a problem that people didn't really play defensively - everyone would be on the offence after buying all of their armour and weapons, and after dying, would be at a massive disadvantage. To balance this, we've made a few changes!

Now, walls are no longer required to be placed entirely in line with each other, and can be placed diagonally, as long as it is within a 20 block distance.

This means that walls can be more seamlessly placed around your buildings to provide a stronger defence - we've also drastically decreased the price of walls to 15 gold per post, so you can really border off your buildings!

Our staff team had a lot of fun testing today!​

Walls also connect to the cliffside as well, so players can't walk around, and should be able to break them to get past!

Archers have also seen a buff - now shooting more rapidly! Watch out everyone, these archers are lethal! Not only this, now archer towers act as wall posts too, so they are able to connect to walls!

Finally, we've added a gate!
These gates can only be activated by your team, but has a delay in opening and closing, so people can still infiltrate your base, so be careful! These can be bought in the construction site!

Poor @libraryaddict ... ​

🕷 New Building - Spiders Nest!

Watch out for these spiders around your opponents base! The Spiders Nest provides some on-land defence for your buildings, they begin spawning when players get close, and will attack them! Look out! These have 3 upgrades, and will initially cost you 35 gold!
These can be bought in the construction site!

Scary spiders! ​

Didnt realise how big the map was. Good job to the builder(s) who made it!

There are still balences/tweaks that are needed, but this is honestly a super fun game which deserves a spot in the list of permanent games
