  • Increased the experience gain multiplier for Coldarms. Please share your feedback on how the progression pace feels now (it used to feel too slow to us).

  • Overall, these changes make the early game significantly less punishing, and make build path choices and officer choices more important in the mid game.

  • Added a tutorial pop-up for the Stories mechanic.

  • Increased the base bounce range by 30%. Bouncing is now much more convenient and useful.

  • Set the default maximum number of autosaves of all types to 50 instead of unlimited. You can change this in the settings.
