Our team continues to make solid progress this summer, with another big updated today.
Today`s update features new CoOp game mode, that will see random players, or your friends, matched against two AI opponents. In addition we completely reworked ranged combat, and added new volley ability that greatly changes combat gameplay. You`ll also see dozens of fixes across the board.
Next update will include continuation of singleplayer campaign, and is expected towards the end of next week.
Thanks for your continuing support - and we can`t wait for the next patch, to finally feature unit to unit collision, as well as fixing battalion member separation for good. And yes, we know, it has been promised before - but we need to make sure it works right and smooth. Sorry for the delay!
