Many players feel that the difficulty curve of the game is quite steep and unforgiving, and this is reflected in the median time played. To combat this, we have made some balance changes, added a new level, and updated the experience required to unlock new buildings. We hope that this update smooths out the difficulty curve, while still offering a challenge in the later levels.
