EA_Rhiordd about the mobile version of tiberium alliances

- ingame prices are identical to browser prices, despite the apple share

- no version (browser or mobile) will be patched before the other
- the will be no combat simulator in the mobile app (at launch)
- phenomic is looking into the possibility to add a combat simulator, if there is demand for it
- scripts will not work in the app
EA_Rhiordd about the endgame
- long development time cause they switched the endgame design
- first endgame version was a hard fight, but nothing special compared to other fights in the game
- new endgame version is meant to have a „woah“ effect
- new units/buildings/upgrades for the forgotten units (some of them already shared)
- defense length of the fortress is similar to standard bases
- the endgame does feature teamplay, but not in a way that two players can attack at the same time
- shieldhubs are used to insert viruses which weaken the fortress
- endgame is dynamic – as stronger the players are as stronger the fortress will be
- the endgame is not impossible to beat – but it always will be a challenge
- it is possible to beat the endgame while fighting of an enemy alliance
- rumors about bases beeing transfered to another world once the endgame is beaten are false
- every alliance will have a chance to beat the endgame (including wings) – exact mechanics are still a secret
