This update aims to balance and strengthen unit classes. The Engineering and Druid classes have primarily been reinforced, and Thief classes have also been added; however, the AP skills of the Assassin and Berserker have been weakened in exchange. The rebirth feature was also too powerful, so it has been weakened as well.
*I have many concerns about balancing AP-related skills and the reverse mechanic. Please feel free to drop by Discord anytime if you have any advice to offer.
