Patch 12.1 is now live with deployables fixes, Miltiades update and more! View this email in your browser Patch 12.1 brings the following updates: Deployables are now destructible, Ranged Weapon Balance has been adjusted and Commander Miltiades' combat prowess has increased.



Read on for more. Deployables Attacking deployables will no longer damage the attacking unit.

In addition all units will have the means with which to attack and destroy deployables, which should mean that forces attacking bases defended by deployables will have increased tactical options. Defenders should bear these new advantages in mind. Explosion damage for ignitable tar now scales properly, and caltrops and ignitable tar are now spread out better on placement. Miltiades Balance Changes Following community feedback, we have adjusted all of Miltiades' skills to align him with other Commanders in combat ability. Specific changes are: Fear now damages melee defence much more.



Drop Shields now scales with speed and acceleration properly.



Drop Shields melee attack is now stronger.



Drop Shields impact deflection reduction is less severe. Range Balance Change We have slightly increased arrow damage for units Tier 4 and above, to bring more range units into play at higher Tiers.
