Hi everyone,

Cosmetics are now live in "The Uniform" update! Using your merits earned in battle, you may now look through the shop and cycle through the current available options. These skins will be in a constant rotation between updates as we continue to allow every player to pick their favorite skin.

There have also been a few balance changes with the Ottomans receiving the breakable trait as well as the skirmish perk changing in value. Aside from balance, we have gone through a majority of your comments and concerns regarding bugs and have focused most of our time on removing the bugs listed in the log below.
