X-4-X Call to Arms X-5-X Homeland Defense	Ability cooldown reduced ― 60s → 45s

”

Tiers	Changes
5-X-X Primary Expertise	Range of influence increased ― 48 → 55

Version 26.0

X-X-5 Monkeyopolis	Monkeyopolis should now always benefit from the cash buff from Monkey City (bug fix)

”

Tiers	Changes
5-X-X Primary Expertise	Ballista attack: Attack cooldown reduced ― 3s → 2.5s (attack speed increased by 20%)

Version 31.0

“

Call to Arms ability suffers from uptime, for such an expensive upgrade which is such low range and purely support this makes it hard to use, so duration has now been increased to push it up to a 1/3rd uptime threshold
— Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
X-4-X Call to Arms (further upgrades unaffected)	Ability: Duration increased ― 12s → 15s

Version 31.1

Tiers	Changes
X-X-5 Monkeyopolis	Resolved an inconsistency with the upgrade cost of Monkeyopolis (bug fix) Note: Allowed you to get a Monkeyopolis for significantly cheaper than intended

Version 32.0

“

The Monkeyopolis ‘space saving’ farm absorption shows to be far too much more efficient than the absorbed farms.
— Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
X-X-5 Monkeyopolis	Cash generation per $2,000 worth of sacrifices reduced ― $300 → $200

Version 35.0

“

Village Call To Arms doesn't have a place in current high level meta gameplay as grouped clusters of equal towers are never really ideal. As it stands, the village radius is not a large enough area to get lots of benefit to all of the towers that you would be spreading out and maintain any uptime on them. A seemingly huge change but perhaps not in practical use, so we will be looking for feedback on this and whether this reduces placement skill or the need for multiple Villages.
— Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
X-4-X Call to Arms (and further upgrades)	Ability: Buffing range increased ― Radius → Map

Version 36.0

“

Last update included a change to the x2x Banana Farm which allowed Banks to finally receive external cash production buffs (previously none of these applied to bank path). This didn’t affect base level unbuffed farm balance, but some players noticed slight reductions in how effective buffs were when applied to other farms (320 and 023 crosspaths) due to this change, overall we’re positive about what the change means but to push back past that nerf to endgame farm synergy we balanced it out with a stronger synergy buff from villages
— Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
X-X-4 Monkey City X-X-5 Monkeyopolis	Cash generation bonus increased ― +15% → +20%

Version 37.0

“

A minor QoL for cheap Monkeyopolis creation, we included a small base amount of cash production to the generation formula.
— Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
X-X-5 Monkeyopolis	Now generates a flat $2,500 per round in addition to any income added by sacrificing farms

Version 38.0

“

As a 1 per player T5 we didn’t mind this being excessively powerful at a base level, however the base level became so powerful people stopped investing into the actual farm sacrificing aspect, so we’re dropping this base value down to not skip massively ahead of the normal farm curve.
— Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
X-X-5 Monkeyopolis	Base cash generated per round reduced ― $2,500 → $1,250 Note: One-Farm Monkeyopolis cash generation decreased from $2,700 to $,1450

Version 39.0

Tiers	Changes
4-X-X Primary Mentoring	Primary Mentoring cooldown buff no longer remains behind when tower is sold while under the range of an Energizer (bug fix)

Version 43.0

“

Primary Expertise’s own attack is unreliable due partly to low bounce distance, so this is being increased. Base level Monkeyopolis continues to over perform, so the baseline cash generation is reducing.
— Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
5-X-X Primary Expertise	Mega Ballista: Bounce distance increased ― 50 → 90
X-X-5 Monkeyopolis	Crate: Base cash amount per round reduced ― $1,250 → $1,000 Note: One-Farm Monkeyopolis minimum cash amount per round reduced from $1450 to $1200

Version 46.0

“

Primary Expertise is gaining enough damage to allow it to continue to 1 shot MOABs until round 100, but in exchange it will attack slower for an overall power increase.
— Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
5-X-X Primary Expertise	Mega Ballista: damage to Ceramics and MOAB-Class increased ― +190 → +270  Mega Ballista: attack cooldown increased ― 2.5s → 3s

Version 48.0

“

The cooldown buff for top village is being improved as many Primary abilities you would use with it are already quite fast to cool down so the % increase feels minimal.
— Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
4-X-X Primary Mentoring	Primary Mentoring buff: Ability cooldown reduction for nearby Primary Monkeys reduced further ― 10% → 15%
5-X-X Primary Expertise	Primary Mentoring buff: Ability cooldown reduction for nearby Primary Monkeys reduced further ― 20% → 25%

Version 49.0

“

As a much requested quality of life change for Boss events the Call To Arms ability can now be activated in between rounds.
— Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
X-4-X Call to Arms X-5-X Homeland Defense	Call to Arms ability: Can now be used between rounds

Version 51.0

“

Primary Mentoring has often felt like a low-value stepping stone, since its buffs are more situational than T3 or T5. To give it a bit more in the save up we’ve moved the T5 bonus range down into this upgrade.
— Update notes

”

Tiers	Changes
4-X-X Primary Mentoring	Range increased ― 48 → 55 Note: 5-X-X Primary Expertise unchanged (55) Description changed ― All Primary Monkeys in radius get tier 1 upgrades for free, increased range and reduced ability cooldowns. → Increased range.
