Commanders, we have anew update this week for you all. This is not as big as some of our previous ones, the reason being the second campaign and a new gamemode are still in the works.
Regardless, the war effort needs must be met and we have managed to add some balance updates, squash more bugs and add a couple smaller items with this update. We are also happy to announce a whole new official Chinese translation allowing more people across the world to enjoy 9-Bit Armies in their native language.
If you are interested in helping translate we are continuing to work with community translations too.
