Update 3.14: Preview of new single player levels, ladder changes, premium colors

WarLight has just been updated to version 3.14.0! This blog post describes what’s changed. This update is the second part of overhauling the single-player part of WarLight. It’s not done yet — more changes will be coming in future updates!

New Single-Player Levels

We are proud to release 34 new single-player levels! They’re currently available as a preview by selecting Single Player -> Preview Levels. These levels will eventually replace the six main levels that serve as single-player today.

I’d appreciate feedback on these levels! Give them a whirl, and let me know what you think!

For the preview, we’re displaying the player with the highest score for each level. Can you set the highest score?

Ladder Changes

As voted on by the community, some changes are being made to ladder settings. You can read the full discussion on the forum, but here’s just a list of what’s changing:

    • 2v2 ladder: Each player now gets 3 territories instead of 2.
      RT ladder: The Turkey LD template has been replaced with France LD
      RT ladder: The Season I template has been replaced with Strat ME 0% WR
      RT ladder: The Heavy Earth template has been replaced with French Brawl
  • Premium Colors

    It’s now possible to purchase access to additional player colors that were previously only available in large games. Colors can either be purchased with money or with WarLight coins. Purchasing a color gives you unlimited use of that color forever!

    The following colors are available:

    •          Tyrian Purple
    •          Mardi Gras
    •          Royal Blue
    •          Wild Strawberry
    •          Pink Lace
    •          Smoky Black

    Head to the Change Color page to check them out or to purchase.

    Other Changes

    – Added the ability for single player levels to add or remove initial card pieces by slot.
    – Added single-player levels to profile pages. For now, it shows all levels, however once publishing levels is possible it will only show published levels.
    – Added maps created to profile pages, as well as a page that shows all maps created by a player.
    – Added member icons to player’s names on clan page. Added member icons and clan icons to player’s names on the map page.
    – Single player games with more than one AI now end immediately on surrender or elimination instead of having the AIs fight each other.
    – Single player levels can now modify slots all the way up to AX.
    – Single player levels that use custom scenarios and commanders can now give a commander to slots without giving one to everyone.
    – Internet Explorer 8 and below now get a message telling them their browser is unsupported, instead of strange error messages.

    – Maps can be rated at the end of single player games again.
    – In the Flash map browser, removed the “All” page size, since loading too many maps here just crashes Flash. Also increased default map paging size.

    – Lowered the maximum zoom level, since zooming in too far crashes Flash in Chrome.
    – Fixed a bug with challonge export.

    – Fixed a bug when trying to save settings you haven’t unlocked as a template.

    1. great idea with the colors
      only problem i have is the Pink Lace. On a lot of computers its almost impossible to distinguish from the neutral.
      Please change it to an alternate color

    2. Anyone else having problems accessing your games since the update? I am getting a Data Corruption error. I have cleared data under local storage and am still getting the error (as well as several other players on WL).

    3. I think that was an important update for newbies and potential newbies.

      Some levels were even hard to beat as experienced player. Good job!

      About colours: i’ll always keep my brown after so many years 😉

    4. “– Internet Explorer 8 and below now get a message telling them their browser is unsupported, instead of strange error messages.”

      Please reverse this. That is the only way I can play on my lunch hour at work… I had no problems before. Thank you.
