Sirrian addressed that last week: > [@The Spirit of Rock](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/the-spirit-of-rock/18006/1): > > If you recall, towards the middle of 2016 we started creating 2 troops per week, with an occasional Legendary to spice things up a little. Our goal was to hit 300 as soon as possible, giving us a nice large base of content that would look attractive to our newer players - and help make our collection mechanics function correctly… much better than the 96 troops we released with in 2014! > > Happily, we reached that number of troops, but we don’t want to stop there!
