Attention Commanders,
Live Battles have arrived! We are slowly letting players in to ensure a smooth launch. It's time to engage your enemy in realtime player versus player combat! Tired of your enemy hiding in his base? Knock down his door and roast his defenses where they stand. The new Live Battles feature will allow you to take the fight directly to your enemy while adding an entirely new level of strategic depth to the game. *Check for updates at the bottom of the thread!*
Some of the highlights from this update:
- No more "your base is under attack, please wait" you now can watch and command your base defenders while you are under attack.
- No more "player is in their base" messages, even if the owner of the base is online and sitting in their base you can attack them!
- You can leave a battle, return to the map and move platoons around then re-enter the same battle.
- You can participate in multiple battles at the same time!
- The AI uses a lot less CPU, this should greatly reduce lag on slower PC's
- The server now is in charge of the battles, this makes the game more secure!
There's only room for one Commander in this wasteland. Get ready to prove your dominance once and for all. To help you accomplish your mission we're rolling out fresh strategy videos for Live Battles. Expect a new strategy video everyday next week. As for future content, the sky is the limit. Expect big things.

UI Improvements[]
There are a bunch of UI improvements that will give you greater control on the battlefield:
- Command Card : Bottom right of the screen in battle. Houses all the new commands and shows their hotkeys. Also shows which commands are active for the selected units. Hover over the new buttons for details on how they work! You’ll also notice we moved the R.U.B.I. button to the bottom right of the screen to group it with the other commands.
