What changed
- Performance
- Gameplay
- UI and audio
- Balance
Note: Patches have slowed down a lot and will be less about big system reworks. We're in the final phase before early access, which puts our focus more on polish, smaller tweaks, art and content! (you'll see new units and enchantments appearing in the Library)
Features:
Unit sprites and shadows reworked! Most units with proper art now have improved shadows and more accurate lighting when flipped. Most units also don't flip anymore when unnecessary. This is purely visual, not a functional change. (This process isn't finished yet)
Units:

- Stone Wallupdated art
- Electrocatalystnow only triggers 3 random friendly Tinker units (instead of all friendly tinker units) + name changed to Big Red Button
