Content

• Added Pollution Level (replaces existing difficulty options)*There are now a total of 21 difficulty options you can choose from, and in order to unlock a Pollution Level you must win a game at maximum Pollution Level available. For players who cleared Easy/Normal/Hard in the old version of Ratropolis, up to Level 5/10/15 are automatically and respectively unlocked.
• You can earn up to 900 Score when winning a game on a high Pollution Level
• EXP requirements lowered for several Progression Levels (400 -> 350, 500 -> 400)
*We believe we have made several mistakes in regards to wiping out player-data, requiring too much EXP for unlocks and mishandling game-balance. We own you an apology for the inconvenience, and thus we have made a decision to utilize obsolete victory-records for unlocking some Pollution Levels immediately, reduce EXP requirements, and adjusted numeric values again for in-game combat and economy.
• Added Infinite Mode (replaces Nightmare Mode)
*Infinite Mode allows you to play beyond Wave 30; however choosing this Mode does not affect your Score-rating in anyway. In this Mode, you swap to one of the other Level 1 Leaders at a certain point, gaining access to their Abilities, Cards and Advisors. Negative events from Nightmare Mode do not occur in Infinite Mode.
• Added a special Card players can get from Treasure Chests in each region
• Added Events for each Region and Leader.
• Added 18 new Events
• Acquired Advisors now roam around the City
