Commanders! 🫡

🛰️ A new update deployment is now underway!

This one focuses on refining the battlefield: Smarter terrain generation, improved performance, and a more consistent tactical experience across operations.

🗺️ Some tile layouts have been updated, creating slightly longer paths that give you a bit more time to handle the Artronids, while also enhancing overall pathfinding performance.

⚙️ On top of that, several key defenses have been recalibrated, from Joint Operations and Miradors to heavy artillery, to create more balanced encounters and smoother coordination between units.

♾️ Endless mode has also been improved, with performance refinements and tuning aimed at making each run more seamless and rewarding.

🗨️These changes are the result of your continued feedback and field reports. We sincerely appreciate and thank you for your inputs and your dedication!
