Currently planning on more adaptive systems for the battle drone in the future. If you go beyond these 20 it will wrap and give double the effect such that 21 will spawn a pod of 10 level 2 Probes.

Battle drone primary weapon range reduced from 34 -> 26. This is so most of it's additional weapon systems will activate instead of just being outside of reach.

Chicken

The number of revenge chickens that can spawn is now 5 per level. The revenge chickens however can use all item based weapons and upgrades that the main chicken has access to.

The chickens summoned on revenge now are labeled as enraged chickens and have a different icon.

enraged chickens land quicker.

enraged chickens no longer despawn after a given time and will fight until combat is finished,

Drone Operator

Drone operator class perk has been reworked.

Drone operator now summons robot units based on the level of the drone operator.

Each robotic item the drone operator has will increase the experience of these robot summons.

Drone operator primary weapon RPM 12 -> 8, damage 22 -> 32, armor pen removed

War Camel

War Camel class perk reworked: On deploy trigger the deploy ability of adjacent units.

War Camel now shoots missiles in addition to its regular guns.

Mortar & Anti Tank

Mortar and Anti Tank switched class perks.

Anti tank weapon changed to 200 base damage, 300 AP, 20 RPM. This brings it more inline with combat focused units of the same tier since this is more of a single target unit.

Giant Crab

Class perk changed from trigger at start of turn to trigger on deploy, amount changed from 33% -> 50% more health

Book of Judgement

increased damage from 200 -> 300

Shotguns and Catapults

All shotguns and catapults got a 50% increase in effective DPS. This brings the weapons more inline given the lower accuracy

Over Leveling

It is now possible to get a level 7 unit if you merge to level 5 units that are almost level 6.

Bugfixes

Fixed MVP screen forgetting about units that died early in combat

Fixed invisible chicken bug

Fixed negative health on enraged chickens
