Patch 1.2 is now live. Prepare for smarter enemies, tougher decisions, and an even more brutal battlefield.Brutal Difficulty UpdateWe\'ve rebalanced existing campaign maps to make Brutal difficulty a true challenge worthy of its title:Enemies now start with more units (mission and difficulty dependent) and deploy them more aggressively.Maps support having extra properties based on the difficulty setting, giving the enemy increased income, and forcing you to fight harder.Our new AI system makes fewer mistakes and will punish yours.Using gameplay data from across the community, we’ve analyzed player performance and grouped difficulty levels into target skill cohorts. The campaign has been rebalanced with these benchmarks in mind:Standard – Designed to be completed by our average player with moderate challenge.Hard – Tuned for the top 25% of players, likely requiring strategic restarts and tight decision-making.Brutal – Aimed at the top 10% of players, offering a serious test of skill, planning, and perseverance.We’ll be actively monitoring player feedback and performance metrics over the next week to fine-tune these difficulty targets if needed. Your input will help us shape an experience that’s both fair and fiercely competitive.AI UpdateOur AI has been completely reworked from the ground up. Here’s what to expect:Smarter Enemy Behavior: The AI now adapts to your tactics, coordinates flanking maneuvers, prioritizes key threats, and makes better use of terrain and timing.Improved Decision-Making: Expect enemies that think more like players—and punish mistakes accordingly.More Reliable Allies: Friendly AI now acts more intelligently in support roles, improving the feel of team-based operations in our 2v2 skirmish missions.
