Game Balance Adjustments

Both the PHC and the Substrate have had their units and buildings carefully balanced against each other, focusing on each unit having a unique role to play.

Performance Optimizations

Several back-end updates will make the game run more smoothly and look better than ever before.

Campaign Adjustments

To keep up with the rest of the game balancing, certain campaign scenarios have also been adjusted to accommodate. Challenge levels have been raised and lowered accordingly, and many miscellaneous fixes also went into several campaigns.
