Slitherine

While we are very busy working on the first DLC (and yes, you can expect the announcement very soon, so stay tuned!), we have also been busy with a new update.
The Patch 3 mainly consists of bugfixes and balance improvements, but it also contains a new option for configuring how fast orders are carried out by units, as well as a number of visual improvements.

You can find the full changelog down below. Let us know what you think, and please let us know if you have feedback or suggestions for us. Last but not least, a big thanks to all those who provided feedback in the past! We try to integrate as much as we can in our frequent updates, so hopefully this one will be to your liking.

You can download the update from the Members' Area.
