City Captains,
We’ve completely reworked how Quests, Cards, and Economy interact in Campaign to make gameplay smoother, fairer, and more rewarding. The following changes apply to the first Campaign scenario (PGE Narodowy - Warsaw) - work on balancing the remaining parts of the campaign is still ongoing, and we will keep you informed as soon as they are available.
Main quests are now tuned to be gentler. Simply completing the main questline will comfortably secure a Tier 1 scenario completion.
Side quests now offer steeper challenges for players aiming to hit higher Tiers, packed with significantly boosted rewards.
Reward cards earned from completing quests are now punchier and noticeably stronger than standard cards received from reaching new MR Tiers.
Active, temporary time-based buffs (~24-hour duration) now carry stronger effects than passive cards, rewarding active tactical play.
Groundwork has been laid to bring Club Traits directly into campaign gameplay, helping teach unique club identities and creating a more cohesive management experience across all modes.
World Map Marketing: Reduced monetary costs of marketing campaigns across the world map by 25%.
MR1 Modules: Building costs reduced by 20%.
MR2 Modules: Building costs reduced by 20% | Base Revenue increased by 20%.
MR3 Modules: Building costs reduced by 10% | Base Revenue increased by 10%.
MR4 Modules: Base Revenue adjusted down by 20% to curb extreme late-game economy inflation.
Ultrabite Snack Stand: Received an additional dedicated revenue boost!
Pacing & Matchday Readiness (MR)
MR4 Acceleration: Increased MR point generation speed at Tier MR4 by ~40% (lowered threshold from 500 fan-needs to 300 fan-needs).
Match Inspection Quest: Doubled the MR points awarded upon completion.
Fixed an issue preventing Play With Purpose 2, 3, and 4 (Ultrabite / Froozle questlines) from triggering properly.
Ultrabite (Play With Purpose 1): Adjusted counters, lowered required Core Fans to 500, and updated objective text to clearly display the required module to build.
Besiktas Ultras Sector Request: Extended the time limit to give managers more breathing room.
Team Arrivals Quest: Clarified unlocking cable cars station objectives to streamline progression.
