Update 19 - Campaign and Skirmish Improvements
Thu, June 23, 2022


Hey Everyone,

We have another update for you as we continue to polish campaign and improve the skirmish experience. Special thank you for the bug reports posted and feedback on balancing. In skirmish you will notice some changes to how AI works around the level, which is especially visible on some more more complex levels. And campaign is getting a lot more love, especially the later levels that I didn`t get a chance to polish as much as the first 3 levels.

And we are working on a major milestone 20th update that should be ready by early July.

And sorry for the delay with the patch changes list, will update this post tomorrow morning with all the details
