changedThis balance update brings a mild upheaval for trains. Since this is a demo, we’re taking an aggressive approach to updates to gauge “what works best.” Specifically, we’re redistributing synergy effects that were overly concentrated at high levels toward lower levels, so we can observe how it feels to split investment across multiple synergies rather than over-committing to just one. Please leave feedback here in the comments, on the Discussions page, or via email at nemonan.inc@gmail.com . Thank you!
