Mecha Weka, New Zealand's 2nd-best flightless bird-themed game studio, has released an update to Battlecruisers! We decided to address balance and bugs, as well as release a little bit of tasty new content at the same time. The icing on the cake is that we've managed to explain what we've done here in our patch notes, which is important to our dear players.
