Updates/Bug Fixes

Sniper Tower Rework

The sniper tower wasn’t as fun as we wanted, so we redid the way it works, it now fires all the time normally, and if you hover over a target in range and los it will focus it, instead of focusing the player’s cursor at all times.

  • Nerfed Field Promotion for being way too OP

  • Fixed some scoreboard bugs and made it so you can see the global high score without having to have a score of your own first.

  • Tuning powers/structures for better balance

  • Continued to improve performance

  • Improved/optimized pathfinding for better performance and less units getting stuck

  • Fixed a variety of localization issues
