Kromex — Patch Notes, Version: `0.1.1` ,June 15, 2026

## ⚖️ Territory Economy Rework

Thanks to a community report (cheers!), it was possible to **steal all of an opponent's tiles**, starve them of resources, and then **go idle until the end of the match** to win. This update closes that loophole and makes a comeback always possible.

### 🔹 You now start with resources Every player begins **each match with 3 resources** — in solo and online, players **and** bots alike. Ground crystals still spawn on the map as before. No more getting stuck right from the start with nothing to spend.

### 🔹 Enemy tile capture reworked Taking an enemy tile is now a **single, direct action**:

• The tile flips **straight to your color** — no more intermediate "neutral" step. - It's **free** and grants you **+2 resources**. - It's still slower than a neutral tile (**2s** vs 0.5s), so holding and defending your territory still matters.

**Result:** a player who loses their entire territory is **never** fully locked out. They can always reclaim ground from an enemy for free and get back in the game.
