TacticFront.io – Changelog V2.4 - Networking Improvements

🧪 Research Labs:

Research labs are now destroyed if the enemy captures them! Plan your defenses accordingly.

🌐 Networking Improvements:

Reduced the number of networking events by reworking core game logic. Expect a smoother multiplayer experience.

👥 Population & Bot Updates:

Pop growth has been slowed slightly for better game pacing.

Bots have been buffed and now start with the same population as players for fairer matches.

🎯 Missile Evasion & SAM Interception:

Missiles now have an evasion stat! Each type has its own evasion value:

Atom Bomb: 35

Cruise Missile: 20

Hydrogen Bomb: 25

SAM Interception:

Interception chance is now calculated as:

60 + targeting bonus - missile evasion (clamped to 0-100%)

SAMs start with 2 interceptors by default.

Missile tech tree upgrades can modify evasion and targeting bonuses.

This adds more depth to missile vs. defense strategy—interception is no longer guaranteed!

🛡️ Future Plans:

Hypersonic missiles are coming as a SAM counter.

SAM upgrade path will let SAMs attempt to intercept hypersonics (at lower chance).

Potential changes: Move ICBM to its own silo, rename current silo to "Rocket Site" for clarity.

🔄 Balance Focus:

We’re pushing for more "threat → counter" gameplay, mirroring real strategic warfare. Expect dynamic shifts and evolving metas!
