We are releasing a new update for Gladius. Next to various tweaks and fixes, this update adjusts the resource output of some Ork buildings to give them more viable opening strategies and help with their early game. Thanks for your feedback on the forum and on comments. Let us know what you think of this update! In the meantime, the team is hard at work on new content. We are looking forward to showing you more... soon.
