Thanks again Fizzer, for the amazing update!

Got a few questions, I won't be able to make the AMA unfortunately

Was there a reason for not limiting the special unit images anymore? I thought it previously had to do with the fact that these images were resource intensive to load?

What is the reason for making an income mod wears off visible for everyone? Just curious.

One of the Raffle facts is "Warzone is primarilly written in the C# programming language. It also uses Haxe, Sql, Scala, Lua, Python, Javascript, Java, C++, Objective-C, and Swift."

I can guess what C# (game logic), Lua (mods), SQL (database) and JS (website) are for.
But what does the rest do and how do they all work together?

This will happen on Monday, August 22nd at 11am PDT.

Will it happen on Monday, August 25th or Friday, August 22nd?

Will it happen on Monday, August 25th or Friday, August 22nd?

Friday, August 22nd according to the blog post, at 18:00 UTC.

I won’t be able to make it, probably.
My question is:
What’s your record of pints of ice cream you’ve eaten in a bathtub?

How many people have idle premium?

Oh, and probably already has been asked by Twitch chat by the time you get to reading this, but:

How's the lawsuit going?

Thanks so much for all your work in making this game!

Seems like there's two main account types:
Free
Member

Would you ever consider adding a third type "Mod Contributor"? Something to allow mod development to be free

Related, are there any ways those with free accounts can get involved with development, testing, or any portions of the codebase that are open source?

Although you tend not to play in Community Events personally, do you understand how they work and do you have a favourite ?

Maybe one which you think is a really neat idea ?

got another round of questions about the custom structures.

can you confirm we dont have to "register" a custom structure just like we need to do with custom cards? just calling WL.StructureType.Custom when we need it is enough?

what will happen if 2 mods use the same structure name?

is there a limit of structures we can use in 1 mod?

What would you advice to a mod maker looking to get icons and images for their mods, but who is terrible at graphics design?

Are you going to add some single-player levels (not community levels)? I would love to play some more single-player levels.

And the same question applies to the Idle levels. It would be great if there would be new Idle levels. Perhaps some seasonal levels?

Will the Funky Fizzers clan be playing in the Clan Cup?
(See https://www.warzone.com/Forum/839854-clan-cup-sign-up for context)

Also, why is Warzone suddenly showing everything 1 hour late for me?
I checked my account settings but its automatically set to +3 while it should be +2 and I cannot change it.

WZ went from SilverLight and other frameworks to Unity and has been using that for a while.

Are there any plans to move to another framework at some point?
What sort of things need to happen for you to consider such a change?

A couple updates ago you started testing with mods in mega games.

Can you give an update on how that is going?
Will more mods be allowed in mega games?
Is increasing the time limit for mods that is needed? If so, would you be willing to?

Maybe I just missed it in the update notes but it seems that this update didn't get called out -- BUT SHOULD HAVE, I love it!



Yea booooiiiiz, the icons for the mod now show up on the far left when you bring up the Game menu. This is a great visual feature to accentuate the mods and give them an instantaneous distinction from the other options in the menu.

Great addition! Thanks for this

Mods: Mods are no longer limited to 5 special unit images.

Also super cool! Formerly we had to break a single mod into separate mods simply b/c it had too many SU images, even if they really belonged together. Grouping them together means less mod clutter - another great addition, thanks for this

Custom Structures! I am delighted to no end ... a thousand thanks for this

PREVIOUSLY:
yea, that Idle Power is a tornado ... functional but kind of bleh; a number of players end up asking in chat "what is that potion/elixir/Idle power on that territory?"


CURRENT (soon to be, once the iOS update goes through and I can release this to the public mod):
now THAT is a Tornado my friends!


Love this so much - very grateful, this will visual improve a lot of mod functionality

A follow up question on the Custom Structures request.

It consisted of 4 components in the request:

(A) custom graphics
--> nailed this part, delighted / super satisfied with this!

(B) ModData - data supplied by the creating mod to indicate properties of the structure; nice to have, can live w/o it

(C) MocID - indicates the mod that created the structure; same as (B), nice to have, can live w/o it

BUT

part (D) was for Stacking:
- Enable Stacking of custom structures like how Cities stack when there are 4+ of them on a single territory
- is this something you're still considering?
- Would be great to have a feature in the Custom Structure declaration to indicate
- Stacking On/Off
- Start Stacking At What Instance Count (so some stack from 2nd instance, some stack from 4th instance [like cities]) since different structures may benefit from immediate stacking vs showing a few instances of them
