◆ Minor Update 19.1611◆
[hr][/hr]
Developer Note: Reminder that Replays are not compatible between patch updates. Replays are not compatible because the simulation logic changes in ways that cause replays to no longer run synchronously with their original behaviors.

[h3]UI[/h3]
  • Orpheus will now show Ranged Attack stats by default instead of Range Attack Flying to match the behavior of other units.

[h3]Hotkeys[/h3]
  • New “Lykaon Hotkeys” group that controls the binding used to transform Lykaon Villagers into Alpha Lykaons and vice versa. The group name will appear untranslated until a future update.
