Time to shake things up! • Range 1 grapeshot. This will improve offensive play and balance defensive responsibilities across units. Dramatic campaign changes: • The player that falls back no longer gets an SF unit reward. Both sides still get SF rewards if the battle is completed. • All Pike units lose 1 confidence. Regular troops can optionally offset this with a Rally. • Artillery Run battle has changed. No more race, some trees added. OTHER: • Free purple hearts for everyone! Note: • Manual and docs will be updated in another update after our community decides if these dramatic new rules and changes are good. If all goes well the next update could just be a new Mini Map and updated docs. Good luck with your new battle strategies and Happy New Year!
