A New Beginning

When SAGA first launched, players opening a new account received a good number of common troops, two spells and 3 boosters. We felt since SAGA was a new concept to many, we should get players used to opening and using boosters to augment their army.

From feedback we have learned that opening three boosters while entertaining was also frustrating if you did not receive a few key units that are needed for basic army design. Those being one meat shield to use as a tank to soak damage, one AOE type spell, and one piece of siege gear to beat missions with a lot of fortifications.

We decided that players would have a better experience if we added a Behemoth to tank a covered ram to take out buildings and a fireball for large glowy effects in addition to a little burn. We moved the boosters to be awarded after the account was purchased because they gain real value when players can trade the troops they don't need using the market for ones that better fit their chosen nation.

In total players now receive more troops than before if they register an account and a better experience during the free trial portion.

I am going to restart this blog playing a magic nation with a new account and see if I can get any further with the new units.
