With the recent patch, the Unit Quick Builder is getting a lot of attention. We wanted to provide a fast walkthrough of the Unit Quick Builder to show players what is going on. Click Here to see the demonstration! Use the values in the demonstration to create your first unit!

The Quick Builder is a great tool for configuring your unit. The big rotating portion shows you what the unit looks like once produced. There are also demonstration areas where the unit appears white to show off certain aspects of your design.

Today is patch day. In a continuing effort to make it easier for new players to join in the action, the new Unit Quick Builder interface was released. Use this interface to quickly design new units without having to grasp all of the intricate details of the component builders. Load the game and see the patch notes page for more details!

We are excited to announce some upcoming changes to Star Alliances. We have listened to the player base and are going to fix the issues you have voiced.

One major issue being resolved is the learning curve for designing units. In an upcoming patch, we will be introducing a Quick Builder accessible from the research window. This builder will provide the basic stat information for a unit and do all the 'grunt work' of designing components behind the scenes. Once designed, players can then go and review how the Quick Builder designed the unit. This will allow players to see the component builders in action and still provide the player an easy method for designing units.

Expect this change and other feature enhancements to come soon!
