We are releasing a new update for Warhammer 40,000: Gladius. This update adds the ability to automatically issue attacks for maximum possible damage and improves the world generation. It also includes a host of balance changes and fixes to minor bugs. Thank you for reporting bugs and expressing your wishes and concerns!
