Fixes and balance changes will continue while I start working on the next bigger additions: Cannons and new campaign mechanics.
Thank you for all the support! Love the reception of the new campaign
If you have suggestions, bugs or just general ideas for the next update, feel free to join the discord or drop by in the discussions. Always happy to hear your input.
