Designer Diary Notes
After releasing the 6.9 Building Update it was realized that despite the increase in reliable metal and thorium supply in the re-introduced Spec Ops and the brand new three-times-a-week Hitman Bounty alliance credit events, players were having a difficult time accumulating enough resources at one time to save up for the Heavy Gustaf Turret Lv 7.
The goal of higher costs is to introduce the need for a player to strategically update one building at a time because the costs are too high to upgrade all at once. Making strategic decisions is a core principle in real-time strategy RTS games like WCRA. The goal is not to make upgrades impossible. After review, it was decided that the cost of the Heavy Gustaf Lv 7 Turret was too challenging for the average player given the difficulty of holding resources for a length of time. Given this, costs were reallocated to three other buildings.
