After a longer than usual delay, version 0.11.0 of the Granvir Demo is live. This update focuses on adding some extra enemy variety with new small enemies, new enemy Granvirs and improved weapon usage for existing enemies.
The first of the new small enemies is a missile truck that will bombard enemies from within outposts. The truck can fire far further than it can see and relies on allies to fire at maximum range.
The second enemy, a small combat vehicle, functions similar to the spider drones but fires a higher damage opening salvo and weaker followup attacks. This enemy is far more durable than the spider drones but can still be handily crushed under foot.
If you encounter these enemies on the battlefield, let me know how it felt to fight them. Hopefully they can provide a different experience than existing enemies.
