Castle Warriors update for 14 March 2023

Hey Warriors!

We would like to start our first Major Patch notes by saying thank you to everyone! All of your screenshots, bug reports, balance feedback, and general discussion both on the Steam Forums and in our Discord means a lot to both of us. Another big thank you to the content creators we've seen put out Castle Warriors videos and streams!

This first Major Patch is our tightest window with only around two weeks of development time, but every following Major Patch has a full month scheduled. We're looking forward to the next few months of Early Access and hope to hear more from you all!
