Infinity: Großes Army Update
Corvus Belli haben ihrem kostenlosen Armeelistengenerator Infinity Army ein großes Update mit einer gewaltigen Ladung Änderungen verpasst.
ARMY UPDATE – FEBRUARY 2024
Hello Infinity players! We start this 2024 with an Army update in which the Reinforcements are the protagonists. Since we released this MOD at the end of last summer, you have been playing it and giving us your feedback about it; those things you liked and those you didn’t like so much. The development team has been reading that feedback and has decided to make some changes that affect those Reinforcements troops to improve your game experience. Let’s see what they are!
REINFORCEMENTS
- The SWC cost of all troops with Commlink in all armies is removed. Now the SWC cost of any troop with Commlink is 0.
- The point cost of troops with Commlink in all armies is reduced. They are now at the average of the other options for that troop.
With these two changes we hope you will have more options when making your Reinforcement lists.
- JSA gets a new troop with Commlink: a Keisotsu with 0 SWC and 11 cost points.
Developer’s notes:
Many of you have asked the reason why the Commlink had such a high cost, considering that all players use Reinforcements, it seemed like excessive ballast. The point is that our initial intention was that both players with Reinforcements and players without Reinforcements could participate in the Reinforcements MOD. However, for this to be possible, some adjustments needed to be made so that rosters with Reinforcements would be balanced against those without Reinforcements. The testing had highlighted that, with that cost and SWC formula, the win rate of players with Reinforcements and those without Reinforcements were equal.
However, we realized that this mixed player approach was too much effort and complication for tournament organizers. It was for this reason that the Reinforcements MOD was launched with the restriction of being exclusive to players with Reinforcements. Despite this, those costs were maintained to give the option to players who were not participating in the competitive environment to be able to play with each other by combining the two options. Unfortunately, in the organized play environment, where the clashes would always be between players with Reinforcements, this cost overrun was very expensive so, in response to feedback, the cost to pay for these troops was lowered.
New troops that arrived with Reinforcements and were available only as Reinforcements are now available outside the Reinforcements in their respective armies and sectorials.

- Blockers: Now available in vanilla PanO, NeoTerra and White Company.

Developer’s Notes:
It has often been said that Infinity accumulates too many profiles, especially in vanilla, but also in some Sectorials, and that it would be good if there were more exclusive and limited profiles, so that they would not make an already very large profile list grow. Following this line of thought, the new Reinforcement profiles were made exclusive in this way. However, many of you wanted to play them in the standard mode as well, so we have opened them up to the different generic and/or Sectorial armies. We hope you enjoy them!
We hope these changes will be to your liking and that the Reinforcements MOD will be more interesting for you now. We will continue to monitor your feedback to make changes to its rules if necessary in the coming months – thanks for your help!

Gut, dass die RF profile jetzt auch außerhalb von RF spielbar sind, schade, dass die einzige Änderung für den mod der comlink ist (immer moch nur auf line profiles) und der trigger Punkt sowie das wording (vuctorypoints anstelle Verluste) belassen wurde. So wirkt es halbherzig.
