The developers of the highly anticipated real-time strategy game Tempest Rising have released their latest “A New Quality of Life” March update. This significant patch aims to enhance the overall player experience and introduces a host of new functionalities, including refined controls and broader gameplay options.
A notable addition to the game allows players to embark on a new campaign with all doctrines and essential gear already unlocked from the very first mission. However, it’s important for achievement hunters to be aware that enabling this particular option will disable achievement progression for that specific campaign profile.
Other key improvements and additions in this update include:
- A “random faction” option has been implemented for matchmaking, adding an element of surprise and variety to online play.
- New hotkeys have been introduced for improved unit management: Ctrl+Alt+Q to select all support units currently present on the map, and Ctrl+Alt+W to select all support units visible on screen.
- The rating calculation system for ranked matches has been revised. The maximum gain or loss of points per match is now capped at +/- 50, while the minimum change is set at +/- 8.
- Various balance adjustments and mechanic tweaks have been applied to several in-game units to further refine gameplay equilibrium and strategic depth.
