Hey everyone!
While we don't have much new content for you today, we're releasing a patch that rebalances everything. That's right, everything.
After a few weeks of debate, we decided that the base values for all our stats for each unit was simply much too low to be able to nerf or buff them appropriately. Thus, we gave every unit a massive increase in stats, and then played an endless number of games internally to try to balance it to something less absurd.
But the work of a designer is never done - especially not without player feedback - and that's where you come in! We're releasing this major rebalance patch to you in hopes of seeing what you guys think. We'll be listening very closely to feedback in the next few (non-Christmas) days, and we hope you find this new patch fun. So without further ado, the patch notes:
