The mechanics of combat spirit and willpower have been refined to make large-scale battles less prolonged and more engaging. The balance of ranged units has been carefully adjusted to promote fairness and encourage players to think creatively in their tactics. As always, the update includes traditional balance adjustments and bug fixes to enhance the overall gameplay experience.
