Gameplay[]
General[]
- We've made improvements to the animation cancelling issues previously called out by players; we'll be keeping an eye out for your feedback to make additional adjustments in this area, but with this patch, units can no longer easily perform faster attacks than intended by issuing a move command after attacking to cancel the cooldown between hits.
- Fixed a bug where Palisade Walls could no longer be targeted.
- Trebuchet projectiles now deal Area of Effect damage when missing their intended target.
- Fixed a bug where Incendiary Ships damage range increased significantly after researching the Explosives tech.
