Original Post — Direct link

I'm a returning player after about half a year and the first thing I noticed was they added bridges and replaced custom houses. I'm assuming this is a major content update so can someone explain the update to me and what is different?

This was the "Path of the Ocean" update.

Here's a quick overview (and nowhere near comprehensive):

  • replaced boats, ships, and Battleships with Scouts, Rammers, and Bombers, 3 ship designs that are all meant to complement each other.

  • replaced Custom Houses with Markets, a more flexible, land-only building that uses Sawmills, Forges, and Windmills instead of Ports

  • Removed Whales and replaced then with Starfish, which are harvested by a unit

  • the Specials got mini-reworks in order to use the new naval features, such as Aquarion getting buffs/nerfs, more powerful Mooni, and Elyrion losing Navalons

  • Roads and Lumber Huts were nerfed, both were brought up to 3* for the sake of balance

Poor custom houses 😞

Ultimately, we realized they were too meta-defining and didn't like how they were restricted to water.

So Markets were meant to be a more flexible sort of thing. Since Port costs were adjusted to 5, and then 7, we couldn't keep Port->2* on a Custom House.

Kickoo is hard nerfed by this new update right?

No, if anything, it was a buff
