Update 2.9

New Downtown Map 

• 19 brand-new missions! 

• Available from HQ level 1. 

• Located in the lower south region of the mission map, right above the Highway map area.  

Rescue Alliance Improvements 

• Finding a new Rescue Alliance: When searching for a new Rescue Alliance to join, you will find a list of 20 recommended Alliances, sorted by number of Members and activity. This means you will no longer be recommended inactive Rescue Alliances. 

• Deletion of inactive Rescue Alliances: If all members of a Rescue Alliance have been inactive for 3 months, the Rescue Alliance will be removed without further warning. If you were a member of such an Alliance, you will get a notification informing you that the Rescue Alliance was closed due to inactivity once you log in to the game again. 

• President: If a Rescue Alliance President is offline for more than 3 months, they will automatically be demoted to Vice-President. The highest-ranked player in the alliance will automatically be promoted to President, provided they have not been inactive for longer than 2 weeks. If the highest-ranked player was offline for longer than 2 weeks, the next player in line, based on rank and last login, will be promoted to President. You will see a Notification informing you of the change. 

Example 1: 
Player A (President) has been offline for 3 months -> Player A get demoted to Vice-President.  
Players B and C are both Vice Presidents. Player B logged in 2 days ago, and Player C logged in 4 days ago. -> Player B will be promoted to President.  

Example 2: 

Player A (President) has been offline for 3 months -> Player A get demoted to Vice-President.  
Players B and C are both Vice Presidents. Neither Player B nor C have logged in for 3 weeks. -> Neither gets promoted to President.  
Player D is Group Leader and logged in 5 days ago -> Player D gets promoted to President. 

Tasks, Merits, and Specialization Tweaks 

• Adjusted the number of flags and HQ levels needed to complete the last stage of the ‘Many Flags, One Team’ and ‘Stronger Together’ merits, so they can now be completed. 

• Adjusted the balancing for the Specialization Tasks. 

• Added an option to unlock all Specialisation milestones through direct-purchase (unlocking through purchase remains optional). 

• Removed the ‘Watch ads in the Simulation Center’-Task from the daily tasks. 

• Rebalanced some of the daily tasks. 

• Rebalanced the support mission-based weekly tasks some more. 

Equipment Item Preview 

Added new descriptions to the equipment item previews. Now the description explains what the equipment does, and not just what an equipment item is.
