The Hive - 1.306 Released

[p][/p][p][/p][h3]Achievements and Difficulty[/h3]
  • [p]Fixed: Game now correctly saves and loads the selected difficulty setting.[/p]
  • [p]Fixed: Achievements for completing the game on Hard and Insanity difficulties should now unlock properly once the campaign is completed.[/p]
  • [p]Fixed: The Avatar skill and related squad mechanics are now restored, making the "Play of the Game" achievement obtainable again.[/p]
  • [p]Added extra checks so end game achievements trigger more reliably.[/p]
[p]Note: Older save files did not store difficulty correctly, so you will need to create new saves or start a new playthrough after updating to 1.306 for these fixes to fully apply.[/p]
[p][/p][h3]Squad Mechanics and Balance[/h3]
  • [p]Legionnaires are restored to a squad of 5 units.[/p]
  • [p]Hunters are restored to a squad of 3 units.[/p]
  • [p]Population cost has been increased to match the larger squad sizes. Resource costs have only been slightly increased, and fast build speeds plus other earlier improvements are retained.[/p]
  • [p]Hive building now resurrects dead squad units again for a small food cost per unit.[/p]
[p]These changes bring back the more “swarm-like” feel of your army, while keeping previous quality of life improvements.[/p][p][/p][h3]UI and Visuals[/h3]
  • [p]Fixed: Pause menu UI no longer stretches or scales incorrectly on ultrawide resolutions.[/p]
  • [p]Restored the intro and ending cinematics to their original length and versions, as most players preferred the full cuts.[/p][p][/p]
