Squad Wars Come To Star Wars: Commander

Disney Interactive have recently added a new feature called Squad Wars to their Star Wars: Commander mobile game.  This new update adds squad-based battles to the base-building combat game, squads of up to 15 players can go to war against other squads in timed events on the new in-game planet of Sullust, with Hoth and Yavin 4 being added later. Players will need to reach at least HQ Level 5 to access this Squad Wars feature.

During the matchmaking process, players have 24 hours to plan for match and players will receive a temporary base, which is a duplicate of their main base. This allows players to edit their base with a defensive layout for the Squad War, while not affecting the rest of their gameplay.

After the 24 hour planning phase is over, the match begins a 24 hour time limit for players to attack the Emmy squad bases plus three new computer controller factory outposts, which if captured, players receive buff, which will help in later battles.  A squad can attack and capture a Factory Outpost even if it has already been captured by the other team; however, Outposts will become more difficult to capture each time possession changes.

Each squad member can complete three actions during the battle phase of a Squad War. That is, players can launch three attacks against Factory Outposts, they can attack three bases controlled by other players or they can complete a combination of the two. A Squad War ends when every player on both squads has completed three actions, or when time runs out. The winning team will receive Supply Crates.

Star Wars: Commander is available to download for free on the iTunes App Store, Google Play, Amazon Appstore and Windows Phone Store.
