From the reworked main menu and matchmaking to new gameplay rules letting players play in CoOp skirmish and CoOp survival both with other players or AI companions.
This updates also completes the long term project that improves and streamlines every chapter of the campaign, making it easy and fun on lower difficulties, and always an impossible challenge on harder difficulties.
We also looked intro rebalancing a lot of stats for all of the 3 playable races to fix any balancing and other issues.
Let’s take a closer look at this Milestone 20th Update . To make it easier to process the changes we have combined a lot of the changes into general categories.
