Update 1.0.98_r

Features

• Undead research tree with 64 techs;
  
• New playable Undead units:
  
  1. Hunting Fiend;
     
  2. Flesh Collector;
     
  3. Thundering Amalgam;
     
  4. Drake of Progressive Rock;
     
  5. Drake of Hard Rock;
     
• New skills for the playable Undead units (both new and old), including the Grim Pilgrim’s "Call for reinforcements";
  
• New Undead resource: Death Metal, as well as buildings for storing it and extracting: Death Metal Mines and Death Metal Storages;
  
• New building for the playable Undead: Dealer Worm, which allows the Undead to exchange resources;
  
• New defensive structures: Undead Towers and Massive Undead Towers. They can hold ranged units (Hunting Fiend, Grim Pilgrim, Machine o'Flesh, Thundering Amalgam);
  
• Troop Spawn Tool is now in the Sandbox mode — the same that is used in the Map Editor to spawn player’s units;
  
• 4 new Challenge mode maps: Dead city, Take it on the otherside, Clash of the titans, Fall from grace, where you can test the updated Undead;
  

General

• Changed the mechanic of soil defilement:
  
  1. Soil Defilers removed (their model is now used for the Flesh Collector);
     
  2. Defiling Monuments are now built as regular buildings and, unlike other Undead structures, do not require defiled soil beneath them;
     
  3. The limit on Soil Defilers has been replaced with the Defilement resource. It limits the number of certain player buildings, and its capacity can be increased by building Defilement Catchers;
     

Improvements

• Added information about the previously hidden unit stat: "Stability". The higher the Stability, the harder it is for enemies to push the unit away, and the easier he breaks through enemy lines. The same is true for enemy units;

• Minor visual improvements;
  
• Minor UI/UX improvements;
