Speaking of which, you can hone your command skills on a new 1v1 map. Furthermore, we have implemented some balance changes and a host of general fixes and improvements.
Now is an excellent time to enter the fray and to celebrate it we’re offering -50% off until March 9th.
Yeoman (Global Risk, slot 4):

DevBlog 32: Update 1.1
Greetings commanders,
Welcome back to Crossfire: Legion. We’re back and well rested after our release out of early access in early December. While chewing on our festive food, we’ve been monitoring the game and making our new year's plans. Thank you for all the feedback and patience that help inform and motivate the games forward development as we move forward.
Today, we have our first post-release update with the following improvements and changes.
One of the core pieces of feedback we recently saw was about commanders wishing to color their armies and so make them more recognizable on the battlefield. Simple, now you can!
For each faction, we also have the following balance improvements:
Paladin: Mineral cost has been decreased from 150 to 100
Jester: Mineral cost has been decreased from 125 to 100
Rocket trooper: Mineral cost has been decreased from 100 to 75
Imperator: Damage while in Hull down mode has been increased from 150 to 175
Centurion: Damage per hit has been decreased from 75 to 50 and reload time decreased from 3.5 to 2.3 seconds
Hightower: Mineral cost is now decreased from 400 to 350 and 175 to 125 fuel. HP has increased from 600 to 1500
Scepter: Can unload units properly
Commander Stalker: Shadow Operative ability cool down is now 120 seconds and it’s damage output has been lowered from 50 to 40 per second
Jackal: Speed reduced from 9.2 to 8.4 and mineral cost increased from 75 to 100
Falcon: HP is now increased from 400 to 500
Prion: HP is now increased from 400 to 450
Wasp: HP is now decreased from 500 to 400
Locust: Sight range has been reduced from 53 to 30
Power nodes: Its recharge shield ability has changed. Cooldown has increased from 0.25 to 0.5 and the heal itself decreased from 25 to 20. Therefore, heal per second has been reduced from 40 from 100
Satyr: Weapon range has been increased from 25 to 32
Helios: Target acquired drone duration reduced from 20 to 15 seconds
Harpy: Both HP and shields have been increased from 300 to 400
Siren: The duration of its Singularity ability has now be reduced from 8 to 5 seconds
Icarus: Weapon reload time has decreased from 3 to 4 seconds
Charon: Can now unload units properly
On top of all these, performance and stability has been improved. So if you had issues running the game previously, do try again.
Thanks for waiting for these patch notes, we had an mysterious issue with balance values not incorporating into builds properly. Consequently, we wanted to add an Icarus speed increase from 8.5 to 9, but it failed QA. It'll be in the next patch.
Be assured we are already looking to address known issues in upcoming hotfixes and patches which we aim to delviary at the end of each month this year.

DevBlog 31: 1.0 Unleashed & Free Weekend
Greetings Commanders, Crossfire:Legion is now out of Early Access.
First of all, a huge thank you to all our Early Access players who helped shape the game with their feedback and passion for RTS games. We cannot thank you enough for your continued support! To help you convince your friends to dive in, the full game will be playable for free this weekend. So tell your mates and jump in! There's plenty of co-op and competitive fun to be had:
Anyone who buys the game to continue playing after this weekend will see their progression carried over - and also benefit from a 34% discount running until December 15th (6pm CET)!
Now let’s get right into the meat of all that comes with this 1.0 release:
3 Factions: Global Risk, Black List, and New Horizon.
66 Units: Each with distinct abilities and specializations.
9 Commanders: Each with powerful game changing abilities.
Campaign Acts I – IV: single-player, 15 missions. This narrative-driven single-player experience will take you on a globe-spanning campaign of military intrigue, as society stands on the verge of collapse. Solve diverse tactical challenges across a wide variety of environments: fight atop skyscrapers, dig into bayous, push through heavily defended military bases etc.
Classic Versus: PvP and PvE, 5 maps. Fight to the death with and/or against other players and A.I.-controlled factions. Map list: Predator (3vs3), Mountainside(1vs1), Typhoon(2v2), Frostbite (1v1), Labyrinth (3v3)
Payload: PvP and PvE, 8 maps. Work as a team to capture and escort three payloads to your opponent’s base, while securing falling crates that contain powerups. Map list: Tongren Facility (3vs3), Snowbase (2vs2), Refinery (3vs3), Badland (2vs2), Blacksite (3vs3), Domination(3vs3), Railyard (2vs2), Mountainside (2v2)
Operation Thunderstrike: 3 human players co-op vs. A.I., on a dedicated map. Fight increasingly more difficult hordes of computer-controlled enemies, as you reinforce your base and complete side missions to unlock power-ups (VIP escort etc.). Can you hold until the end?
Operation Northside: 3 human players co-op VS AI, on a dedicated map. Storm a fortified embassy and defeat an entrenched enemy A.I. with your friends.
Brawl: PvP up to 3v3, on a dedicated map. Units spawn at your HQ automatically and auto-upgrade as the game escalates (based on your pre-selected deck loadout), letting you focus purely on action-packed tactics. Destroy all enemy HQs to win the game.
Battlelines: PvP and PvE up to 3v3, on a dedicated map. The opposite of Brawl, focusing on macro-decisions and army composition. Place your units in formation and watch them spawn in waves that automatically fight towards the other team's HQs.
Map Maker (with Steam Workshop integration) A powerful tool to create new PvP and PvE content but also share it easily with the community! Aside from the map-making aspects, the editor also lets players experiment with unit stats, camera bounds, audio cues, game logic etc.

With these new battlefields and combat arenas we know you’ll further hone your tactics, proving yourself to be a mighty commander. Next week the talk will be over, and the new plethora of battle tools unleashed in our full 1.0 release! - The Crossfire: Legion team
DevBlog 29: New Units & Commanders
Greetings Commanders,
Firstly, a huge thanks to everyone who joined us with such excitement last week when we announced that: Of course, one of the main highlights of releasing the game into 1.0 are the new units that you’ll be able to command. Supplement your rosters, experiment with new tactics, and find those unit combinations that work best for you. Each unit will also come with their own abilities for those surprise battlefield maneuvers that can so easily change the tide of battle.
Let’s take a look at the 4 new units reinforcing the ranks of our 3 factions.
Paladin, slot 4: Medical vehicle that heals infantry and acts as a detector. Can be upgraded to heal in an area of effect radius.
Jester, slot 5: Support vehicle that repairs allied vehicles and aircraft while also serving as a detector. Can be upgraded to quickly repair a large amount of damage.
Centurion, slot 6: Rocket platform that deals high damage over a long range. Highly fragile and slow-moving, they require protection and support.
Hightower, slot 8: Support aircraft that detects units in stealth. Can scan a distant area to unveil the fog of war. Once upgraded it can create a barrier that reduces the damage of enemy attacks.
Silverfish, slot 5: Light vehicle that can launch explosive drones from a long range. Drones draw enemy fire and can be upgraded to be more resilient.
Scarab, slot 4: Support vehicle that grants increased rate of fire to nearby friendly infantry, while also acting as a detector. Can shield allies with an explosive barrier and can be upgraded to increase allies movement speed.
Wasp, slot 7: Air superiority helicopter that weakens enemy defenses with Thermite Rounds. Can be upgraded with a stealth field.
Stingray, slot 8: Speciality support vehicle that can project a cloaking field over nearby friendly units. Can be upgraded with the ability to damage and temporarily disarm enemy units in a target area.
Helios, slot 4: Support vehicle equipped with advanced technology. Can make enemies take more damage or stun them with crushing gravity. Upgrade with an ability to increase sight range.
Harpy, slot 7: Medium aircraft with twin beam cannons. Can be upgraded with a passive stealth ability that activates when not in combat.
Icarus, slot 7: Heavy aircraft equipped with advanced rockets. Can be upgraded so that its rockets have a cone shaped blast radius.
Behemoth, slot 8: Cutting edge mech with dual energy cannons. Able to teleport itself and nearby allies as well as regenerate their energy and shields. Can be upgraded to unleash an energy blast that damages neary enemies.
To supplement and lead your armies into battle, each faction will have access to another commander that gives you access to unique global abilities and battlefield opportunities.
New Commanders:
Warden: A defensive specialist who can quickly deploy fortification to protect his troops. When it is time to counter attack, Warden can call in a massive artillery building that also deploys weapons on nearby fortifications.
Stalker: He is able to deploy mercenaries to any location, but they leave the battlefield soon after the fighting is done. He can also drop a Shadow Operative behind enemy lines, whose lightning fast attacks can damage all enemies in the target area.
Cipher: Controls all of New Horizon’s orbital satellites. She can use her surveillance satellites to track enemies or orbital lasers to fire massive energy beams at enemy targets.
Remember we’ll be releasing with a Free weekend, giving everyone a chance to get to grips with the new content.
Here is a recap of the complete package that will be available at launch:

DevBlog 28: Release Announcement
Greetings Commanders, Today, with great excitement and after much work from the team on player feedback, we can formally announce that: To celebrate, and give everyone and their friends a chance to experience how the game has improved, we will also hold a free weekend and sale around launch.
The game has grown a lot since the early days of May 2022. The Early Access phase was immensely valuable to help us get a better grasp of what today's fans of classic RTS want to see, and how to shape the game accordingly.
However, there is no denying that we did start on the wrong foot. The original meta-progression system - involving soft currency to unlock units and commanders in a confusingly presented “store” - not only had some players fear we might introduce micro-transactions for gameplay-affecting items. It also went against the immediacy of experience that has kept players coming back to classic games, where the whole toolbox is accessible from the start, without necessarily much gradual onboarding. Content was also a bit of a weak point in the early days, with players clearly looking for something meatier to chew on.
We took those lessons at heart - ditching the progression system, doubling down on adding content through Early Access, introducing countless balance tweaks etc. The game has come a long way with now plenty of game modes, maps, units - and a map-making tool - which we hope can live up to the generous content offering of the classic RTS of yore.
To those who have stuck with us for the ride: thank you so much for your patience and support. To those who haven't or have been patiently waiting by the sideline: we hope you and your friends will give the game another chance with the upcoming 1.0 release and associated free weekend. If you like the changes you see, please consider leaving us a review or updating your old one!
Here is a recap of the complete package that will be available at launch:
Stay tuned for additional news regarding our planned post-launch updates.
