It worries me slightly that with all these new ways to earn Unicoins that even less people will be inclined to spend real money on Uniwar.

AD. 7.
I propose to make it differ depending against whom do you win, because high-level players tend to move much slower and it's obviously more difficult to win against them.
also I'd like to propose AD. 4 - daily activities.
There could be optional 'display ads' function inside profile that increases your daily uni-income

Xavi,
Will us old players be given coins retroactivly? Especially for the campain? Probably for some vetrins th sheer amount of milestones and played/won games they have would net them crazy and not realisitc amounts of coins. In that case, Would you simply just provide the new units to them instead of the coins?

I can't imagine Xavi giving out coins for games already won, that would be disastrous from a business standpoint. The campaign and milestone achievements I hope he does though.

Will players be given with unicoins if they have already completed campaign ?
>> Unfortunately, no. The campaign has to be completed within the 1st month of the account creation.
Will players be given with unicoins if they have already reached for example 2000 mark.
>> They will only receive the last reward not the other ones. No reward will be given retroactively except the last one on the score
How much will the new Units cost in Uni-coins?
>> The new units will cost between 200 to 500 Uni-coins.

Xavi,
So are us older players left out in the cold, and the new players get all the perks? Or do you plan some kind of bonus coins for those who first bought the game with cash?

Ye, I'd like that, I mean, it's not fair for us when the people who got the game for free get more than we do

I believe that you are NOT left in the cold. Most of the earning comes from Activities, Victories & Achievements.
These are recurring earning. All the others are a one-time earning.
It does not make any sense to me to apply retroactive rewards...

I love this decision. My two biggest concerns with Uniwar are 1) the confusing UI, and 2) the challenge for newbies to learn the game. Giving unicoins for completing the missions is a great way to encourage new players to really learn the rules. I think what happens for lots of new players is that they try the first few missions, find them boring, and jump to online play, where they encounter units (and even races) that they know nothing about. Then they get wrecked and think that the game is stupid. The campaign is a tutorial and I am sooooo pleased that unicoins will be given for completing missions. That will really help improve new player retention.
The bigger issue with unicoins is, how long will it take to earn enough for all the new units without buying unicoins directly? While I have no problem shelling out for coins to support the best game ever (check my in-game profile, I'm a whale and fan of best value), I'm in a lucky position in that regards to have disposable income for my games. While the system might be a fair one in a vacuum, will it seem fair to those who have already paid for the game and now have to grind out unicoins to earn the new units? It's not a seamless transition from a paid app, to a free app with games, to a ftp / pay to avoid grind game.
It's a tough balancing act, devs, good luck!

I think that the system is almost perfect as it is.
The activity reward is quite good. Earning 5 unicoins per played turn, means 20 per day if you have 4 matches ==> 100 per five days.
And since the new units will cost between 200 and 500, it might take less that 2 weeks (14days ==> 280 unicoins) to buy them. Which is pretty awesome for a free way to earn them !
The only thing I'm worried about is people bullying weaker players just to earn more victories (and more unicoins obviously). There should be a condition, that players only earn unicoins in a victory if the opponent's score is not too far from theirs
The new update is going to be available tomorrow right?? (it's the last day of September)

I confirm that units will be available offline when bought.
We have a small delay on the features supposed to be delivered on September (rewards...) These are coming for sure this week.
