Commanders, this is the big one. Version 2.6.1 is live, and the game changes shape: you no longer fight alone. Found a clan or join one, march on a weekly line-up of Clan Bosses together, and turn the blueprints they drop into gear nobody else can buy. If you are on an older version, the game will ask you to update. On Android, grab the new build at https://globalconflict.co.za/global-conflict.apk. On the web or iPhone, just reload https://play.globalconflict.co.za.
Clans
Any Commander at Level 40 can found a clan for 25 GB. Pick a name and a 2 to 5 letter tag, which appears beside your name on leaderboards, in chat, on battle targets and across the game. Tap a clan name on anyone's profile to open that clan. Design a banner from emblems and patterns in four colours of your choice.
A Commander leads, with Officers and Sergeants to help. Your doors can be open to anyone, by request, or by invitation only, and your clan gets its own private chat.
The Clan Doctrine is how a clan grows stronger together. Members donate Cash or GB into three branches (Warfare, Prosperity and Command) for bonuses the whole clan shares, summed up in one line on the clan screen. Command raises how many members and Officers your clan can hold. The donor board shows who is carrying the load.
Clan Bosses
Every week three Clan Bosses take the field (one easy, one medium, one hard), drawn from a rotation of nine. A new line-up arrives every Monday at 12:00 UTC.
Pick a target and fill its March Pool with Energy together. Once it is full, your clan marches and every marched member can attack. These bosses hit back, some hits harder than others. Every hit has a chance to drop blueprints and parts, with the odds shown on each boss, and every kill hands each member who marched a War Chest, opened after the Monday reset.
The Workshop
The Workshop is where loot becomes firepower:
- Inventory: every blueprint and part you hold, with each blueprint's stats a tap away.
- Workbench: learn a blueprint and craft its weapon or vehicle. It shows whether you hold the weapon a recipe uses up before you press CRAFT.
- Forge: fuse blueprints to raise them through five rarities, from Common to Legendary.
- Collection: every blueprint you have found, with its stats at each rarity.
There are 90 craftable weapons and vehicles, each with its own artwork. A finished crafted item fights alongside the rest of your arsenal, and a spare blueprint can go to a clanmate.
Also in 2.6
- Award badges show your rank. Every award lights up from rank 1, in bronze, silver, gold, platinum and an elite red-and-gold medal at rank 5, each with its own painted medal. Other Commanders now see every award you have started.
- The Black Market, rebuilt. Illegal Goods sit on Armory-style cards in Weapons and Vehicles tabs, listed cheapest first. Type how many you want and see how much GB you are short. All 50 newer items have their own art.
- One gear card everywhere, with bigger pictures.
- Bases: tap a base's land name to jump to that land, and back.
- Chat: typing @ lists the players talking in that channel first, and finds names with emoji or special letters.
- A much faster download. The art download is about 9x smaller, and phones that already had the game free up roughly 400 MB of old pictures.
- Your flag now locks the first time you pick it. Staff can clear one picked by mistake.
- New accounts confirm their email with a six-digit code. Google sign-ups are unchanged.
- Fixes: battle results fit small phones in Spanish and Portuguese, and Home and Missions do less background work.
Earlier this week (2.5.5 to 2.5.7)
- Tasks are a dossier of orders, with nine new daily and weekly tasks: attacking players, collecting and placing bounties, building Bases, hiring lieutenants, finishing invasion bosses, logging in on 5 days, plus Workshop and clan tasks.
- Season Pass: points are now Merits, an info button explains how to earn them, and you can unlock the next tier for 25 GB.
- Lieutenant presets: save a line-up and switch in one tap (two slots free), and a TOTAL BONUSES panel adds up what your lieutenants give you.
- Demolishing a Base refunds 25% of everything you put into it.
- One look everywhere: Cash figures read the same, Gold reads GB, buy, heal and claim buttons go green when you can afford them, every player name opens the profile the same way, and there is one confirm box.
- The Battle button on a profile follows exactly what an attack allows, and says why when it cannot.
- Fixes: the boss page's ATTACK returns as soon as you heal, the top bar updates after a crate buy, over-long amounts correct themselves, and an empty faction can no longer win a Factions tournament.
