Tower Dominion News

This update mostly brings performance improvements to the battlefield. ⚙️💥

We have dedicated our recent efforts to optimizing game performance:

✅ And most importantly: The speed-up option (speed x3) now works much more smoothly at all times, without affecting the effectiveness of your units in terms of targeting and damage.

As always, we have also taken the opportunity to fix a few bugs and fine-tune the balancing. ⚖️👾

Thank you for your patience and commitment. It's thanks to your support that we can continue to move the game in the right direction. 🫶 In fact, many of your comments have already been taken into account and incorporated into our ongoing improvements. 💭🛠️
