Patch Information
Update 1.7 brings the second half of the unit medal update - all units in all realms now have access to 4 possible promotions, which they gain from proving their worth on the field of battle.
Upcoming Features
In the next update, we're working to bring you a new unit class - the Irregulars.
As the name suggests, these units are ones which exist outside of the usual structure of the army, and do things a little differently.
Irregulars comprise a number of loosely organized and often independently-functioning units. They use non-standard hit-and-run tactics, and commonly retreat in the face of attack. Irregulars utilize all manner of harassing tactics while attempting to stay out of harm's way.
Irregulars will come with a special class ability, just like other classes:
Hit-and-run: After making an attack (whether Ranged or Melee), Irregulars retreat 1 hex, if able. If an Irregular retreats successfully in this way, it takes half damage. Shackles does not interact with this ability.
The new class and it's ability will shake things up a bit on the battlefield, so your tactics will have to adapt to both using and fighting against the new unit type.
