Sunken Pillbox



The Sunken Pillbox is a new defensive structure that will help with defending towns against long ranged weapons. Inspired by the Retractable Turrets used in the Maginot Line, this fortification will retract into the ground when there aren't any targets in sight. When enemies are inside it's forward facing firing arc, it will slowly rise and open fire. In it's retracted state, the Sunken Pillbox will be near invulnerable.

The Sunken Pillbox was designed to help players secure their towns against long ranged weapons used by small groups of raiders or during low population situations. However, it's slow startup time makes it essential to complement it with other defensive structures.

Tunnel Network



Inspired heavily by the vast underground structures built for the Maginot Line in World War 2, players will need to build out networks of tunnels to supply their passive defense structures like Pillboxes and Foxholes. Players will build Tunnel Network structures in the form of concrete hatches, which will automatically connect to nearby structures. Networks must be connected to Town Halls or Outposts to work. Only connected passive defenses will have an active AI. This new mechanic will decrease the significance of early game rushes and will enable more organic front lines to form.

Sulfur Resource



This is a new resource that is used to produce the more powerful explosive weapons in the game. Sulfur is a depletable, rare resource available in contested areas away from towns. Players will initially gather Sulfur in relatively secure areas, but once those nearby nodes are depleted they will have to venture out to the front line or beyond for more. Sulfur is refined into Explosive Material at the Manufacturing Plant.
