Friend Fleet

Fleet Formations

Friend Fleets will now come with a new function which will allow players to choose if they wish to bring in a Friend Fleet to aid them in battle or not. They can also choose to also decide if they want a normal Friend Fleet come aid them in battle or if they wish to use a powerful Friend Fleet that will require the cost of 6 Instant Constructions to allow you call in a more powerful Friend Fleet to aid you into battle.

If you choose to opt in for the powerful Friend fleet, the Instant Constructions will not be consumed unless a powerful Friend Fleet appears.
