Build 8541764

Happy Easter Geniuses!

Rather than eggs, we've been hunting bugs in the lead up to the bank holiday, and we're happy to report that we've cracked a few that have been lurking.

With a focus on navigation, we've continued to make improvements to minion pathing, so we should see fewer members of our dedicated workforce getting stuck at the helipad and having to pay the ultimate price for their slacking.

With a little community assistance we also identified and fixed an extremely rare issue that caused minions to become completely invincible lair destroying monsters, so that's good!

In addition, we've made a number of smaller fixes and general stability improvements to keep your sinister machinations running smoothly.

Thank you all for your continued support,

Stay Evil,

The EG2 Dev Team
