Hello everyone, today we are releasing update 0.06 for The Hive called "Ancient Waterway" Our plan for this update was to release more playable content and introduce new AI system for the players. This enables us to make missions where you get more pressure from the opponent, welcome variation to the earlier story heavy missions. There has been a lot of tuning with the new system, making sure the fights still feel fair for the players. Our other plan was to improve gameplay and hotkeys, to make playing the game as smooth as possible.
