This update bring 5 new units and several changes to the game.
The way waves are generated has now been improved to allow for more variety in which units show up and when as well giving the player some warning for when new units will appear so they have time to adjust and prepare for them.
Along with this we added several more units to the game. Bucklers who have a smaller and weaker shield, Tower Shields who have a large and stronger shield, Longbows who have a longer range and more ammo than regular enemy archers, Battering Rams which are smaller rams pushed by only 2 units, and Siege ladders that are shorter and weaker than siege towers as well as having fewer soldiers in them. These new units help fill out the roster, cheaper siege that can appear earlier, and some stronger soldiers for later in the game.
Along with this there were several balance changes and fixes. Please keep sending in reports if you encounter any issues and we will work on getting them fixed up!
