Ashes of the Singularity Escalation Escalation v3.0 Design Guide

The 3.0 update for Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation started off as just some visual tweaks to the benchmark early in 2020 (in what would have been 2.96). Little would we realize that by the end of 2020 we would be well on the way to a more major update.

This revision of the game came with two stipulations:

1. Units must feel more differentiated and have a defined purpose.
2. Armor Piercing needs to be either 100% or 0%, no more in-between states.

That sounds pretty simple on the surface. In most games, it would be fairly straightforward but Ashes is a different critter. Why? Simply because the engine is non-deterministic: put two enemy units in the same spot a few times and you can get a different result every time. Moreover, changing one stat tends to cascade balance in ways you may not immediately recognize. I could expound on this for paragraphs, but I’m getting off track.

So where did we start on such a task? Symmetry.

Everything in Ashes has some low-level commonalities: faction, unit tier, shields (for Substrate), sight range, etc. The first step for 3.0 was to take these factors and standardize them across units within the same tier. You’ll see these in the next section in detail; this allows players to know (and for us to balance) tiers are certain strength levels, etc. No more guesswork at why a Tier 1 frigate can wipe out Tier 2 cruisers!

The second step was to look hard at each unit in the game and focus it. Previously, many units were ‘squishy’ – you could use them for anything. This is what some players felt turned into the mass wall of death – just build whatever, it doesn’t really matter! Well, now it very much does. Just about everything now has a hard counter to it, forcing players to adapt and not rely on masses of whatever.

The third step was to recognize that there are many things in the game that are simply non-symmetric. The PHC and the Substrate each have their unique strengths and weaknesses, but they most definitely have unique units and buildings too (especially with Hunter / Prey). You have to accept that some of this stuff just can’t be handled the same way.

Weapons have a default accuracy based on their Impact and Type in v3.0. Previously this was not the case and varied widely between units and even individual weapons on the same unit.

Generally speaking, abilities will always hit with 100% accuracy – especially if they are positive (healing, shield restore, etc.). If an ability does not have 100% accuracy, it will be called out in its section (later on).

Substrate Shields

Hit Points

Energy Regen

Visual Range / Radar
In version 3.0 all units and defensive structures gain limited radar capability to 15 meters past their sight range. This allows all units to target things they may not otherwise ‘see’ visually that is just past their sight.

Economic buildings/units do not have radar and tend to have limited sight range.

Unit Speed
You guessed it – unit speeds have also been standardized in the 3.0 update

Tier 3 Experience per Level

• Level 2 : 20,000
• Level 3 : 40,000
• Level 4 : 60,000
• Level 5 : 80,000

Tier 4 Experience per Level

• Level 2 : 40,000
• Level 3 : 80,000
• Level 4 : 120,000
• Level 5 : 160,000
• Level 6+ : Increases linearly

• Squad Size: How many individual units are deployed as part of a squad. For example, when you order a Brute squad, you get 3 Brute units since its squad size is 3.
• Hit Points (HP): The amount of damage something can take before it’s destroyed. Can also refer to the amount of points restored during repair. Except where noted in the Gameplay Constants section, HP does not passively regenerate. HP is listed per unit in a squad, where applicable.
• Shield Points: The amount of damage a item’s shields can take before failing. Once shields fail, damage is done directly to HP. Shields passively regenerate over time and can also be restored via various abilities. Shields are listed per unit in a squad, where applicable.
• Armor: A number between 1-20, where each point of Armor represents 5% damage negation. For example, if a unit has Armor 4 then 20% (4 * 5%) of all incoming damage is negated automatically. Armor negation applies to both HP and Shields independently.
• Energy: Energy is a special resource used by some units’ weapons. Energy passively regenerates over time and can also be restored via support units. Energy is listed per unit in a squad, where applicable.
• Cost: How much investment something requires to be constructed as denoted by Metal, Radioactives, Quanta (if applicable) and Time. This is shown both as a total and as per second investment. Costs are listed per squad (not per unit).
  • Metal: The most common resource in the game, metal deposits are found everywhere on most maps. Everything requires metal to construct.
  • Radioactives: An uncommon/rare resource, radioactive deposits can be quite scarce on the battlefield. Radioactives are required for some tier 1 units and all tier 2 and higher units, plus many structures.
  • Quanta: A special resource that is slowly gained via Quantum Relays/Archive structures. Quanta is required to complete research, increase Logistics, deploy Orbital abilities and to build tier 4 units. Quanta costs escalate with each use.

   

• Logistics: Logistics is what I call a ‘soft’ resource since there’s no upper limit to how much you can have. As noted above, Logistics is gained via Quanta research, with each ‘upgrade’ costing a bit more than the last. Each unit in the game requires some amount of Logistics. Logistics is listed per squad (not per unit).
• Construction Time: The amount of time (in seconds) it takes to build something. Resources are drained per second of construction time. Logistics is listed per squad (not per unit).
• Weapons: Each weapon entry will contain various information as follows:
  • Weapon Name / Banks / (Damage / Type): The flavor text weapon name, how many banks the unit has and what type it is. The type references back to the accuracy ratings from Gameplay Constants.
    • Banks: If a weapon name is followed by x and a number, that indicates that the unit has that number of banks on it. For example, Railgun x4 means that the unit has 4 independent railgun weapons, each of which targets/fires as a separate weapon along its respective firing arc.
  • Range: The minimum / maximum range of the weapon in meters. Weapons with a minimum range must be at least that far away from their target to fire.
  • Rate of Fire: The time (in seconds) between each volley.
  • Shots per Volley: How many individual shots are fired per volley of the weapon. Note that each individual shot inflicts damage on impact.
  • Energy per Volley: The amount of energy required to fire a volley. If a unit runs out of energy, they can no longer fire the weapon.
  • Interpulse: The amount of time between individual shots fired. Not used for Beam weapons.
  • Duration: Specifically for Beam weapons that deal damage over time. Damage is applied per second.
  • Damage per Impact: The amount of damage inflicted on something when it is hit by a weapon’s shot. This can be reduced by Armor.
  • AoE (Area of Effect): The radius of damage per impact in meters.
  • Armor-Piercing: Denotes a weapon that bypasses Armor entirely. Weapons are either Armor-Piercing or not (with one ability exception).
  • Targets (Primary, Secondary, Cannot Target): Which units or structures can be targeted by the weapon. This is a good indication of what units are best against!

Generally speaking, these forces are no match for yours if you arrive in force or catch them early on; but beware that they are much stronger than before!

Creeps use lesser variants of Substrate units since they were originally deployed by Haalee before the war.
