So this is apart of the update and free? If so, awesome! The alliance wars look like a great addition, too bad im not at lvl 40 yet, but once there it looks very cool

I wouldn't say for free as all existing empire points are reset and converted to gold. Plus, god knows how long and how much it would cost to actually get them.

If I remember correctly the devs said in the post that currently existing empires points will be converated to gold on a 10:1 ratiio but that we each will receive a balance of 500 EPs.

Alliance Wars is something needed for the game. It should make it feel like an mmo a bit now.

I feel like I got screwed out of a significantly better option by buying that Season Pass now.

Oh well, still a fun game. Probably if I played it more I wouldn't feel that way as much.
I miss the good old days of WW2 Call of Duty

Also, I couldn't find a way to earn EP apart from the Alliance Wars, which maybe troubling since you HAVE to be level 40 to play it, I did take a quick gander at the game though.

Some quests do still reward empire points. I have a few at level 17 in my quest log which have 4 ep reward. Still gonna take a while to get a premium, but might be easier as I get higher

After playing a few games I must add that with this update a lot of quests have become stupidly hard for casual players.

As a player who has spent over 400 hours in this game, I'm not sure I can bothered re-learning everything :/ This update has changed a lot, probably a great time to start though!

This update has seriously screwed up the game. Given the AI a lot more strength and adaptability to the user, while an overhaul of the tech tree and severely weakened the user in my opinion.

No more star tech. I don't earn resources from my markets, no unit health regen without the advisor, amongst other things.
