The mechanics of combat spirit and willpower have been fine-tuned to make large-scale battles less prolonged and more dynamic. The balance of ranged units has also been adjusted to ensure fairness and to foster tactical creativity. As with any major update, traditional balance tweaks and bug fixes have been included to enhance the overall gameplay experience.
