addedThree weeks of work since the last patch. Here's what's new:
addedNew legion command system - banners, stances (Stay Near / Search & Destroy), rotatable placement with live formation preview, and legion-mates that come to each other's aid.
addedNew building art - the player's buildings have been redone with fresh models and cleaner silhouettes.
changedPerformance pass - all unit animations migrated to baked mesh animation, instanced tree rendering, batched combat broadcasts, and a long list of allocation cuts. Smoother frame times across the board, especially in big fights.
removedSmoother loading screens - proper bar fill, deferred activation, and the intro voice-over no longer talks over the fade.
changedPolish - game pauses on focus loss, can't fall through terrain, no more thumbstick-overshoot snap-turns, tower threat tuning, building UI proximity tightened.
