Commanders! A new update has landed for D.O.T. Defence, packed with new modes, missions, maps, and quality-of-life improvements. Here’s what’s new:

[h3]🎮 New Skirmish Modes![/h3]

• Boss Mode: Replace your HQ with a super unit and dive into twin-stick shooter combat!
  
• Armistice Mode: Ceasefires after a set time give you space to regroup and rebuild.

These modes can be combined for ultimate mayhem.

[h3]🧪 New Campaign Missions[/h3]
Dr. Strangehue’s revenge continues with two new Chromatech missions, marking the halfway point of the campaign.

[h3]💥 Campaign Difficulty + Scoring[/h3]

• Logic Gates: 1v1 Chromatech biome map for tight tactical battles.
  
• Dead End: A new wave defence map where barricade placement is key to survival.
  

[h3]🕹️ Keyboard + Gamepad Co-op[/h3]
No more extra controllers needed! Play local co-op using just a single gamepad + keyboard/mouse setup.

[h3]🔧 Other Improvements + Fixes[/h3]

• New faction art by Tim Mack
• Clearer metaprogression alerts
  
• Buffs to expensive structures
  
• Pathfinding optimisations
  
• Harder Endless Mode (waves 20+)
  
• Crash & localisation fixes
  
• Screenshake toggle
  
• Improved team AI in Skirmish
  
• Wave defence balance: bonus resources now require early placement
