Greetings, Commanders! Were excited to bring you a fresh wave of updates, including new combat mechanics, faction-specific features, and essential fixes. Lets dive into whats new: New Features Knock-Up Effect Introduced a new Knock-Up mechanic to combat. Players can now sustain defeated units in the air for extended combos and visual flair. Structures are also affected by the knock-up mechanic, adding a new layer of strategic gameplay and destruction. Faction Color Status System Added a new status effect system tied to faction colors. Each faction now applies unique mechanics during combat: Red Faction Status Effect: All attacks now apply a stacking red aura effect. At 100 stacks, the status effect triggers, resetting the stacks. Effect Trigger: Causes an explosive fire AoE, dealing 17 damage to all units and structures within the radius. AI Improvements Tweaked AI behavior for enhanced tracking and aggression. Expect AI opponents to respond more intelligently and with increased combat pressure. Bug Fixes Event Spawn Bug Fixed an issue where event triggers would duplicate unexpectedly. Events now properly remove themselves immediately upon activation, ensuring smoother progression. Development Cycle Update We are shifting from a weekly update cycle to a monthly update schedule as we hit several major milestones in development. Micro-updates will still be deployed as needed to address minor bugs and fixes.
