Game Update v6.1.0

This major update brings important mission balance changes, a new Unit Roster and extensive improvements across combat information, controls and battlefield behaviour.

Mission balance and scenario changes

• Thermopylae Plain: the impossible Macedonian army-wipe objective has been replaced with an achievable 80% casualty target, and the Greek assault now runs until turn 15.
• Siris River: Pyrrhus now has a viable river defence, up to seven Roman units may cross the river, and the Roman casualty objective has been rebalanced to 70%.
• Siris River reinforcements no longer cause an immediate Pyrrhic defeat when they arrive.
• Salamis no longer calls a missing reinforcement notification trigger.

New Unit Roster

Explore the armies of the Successor kingdoms in the new Unit Roster, with organised categories and unit portraits.
