Ashes of the Singularity v1.01 Changelog

General unit, building, and economy balance

Removed “Fringe” map from Ranked match playlist

Visual polish & bug fixes on forests

AI difficulty balance

Campaign difficulty tweaks

Removed “Fringe” map from Ranked match playlist

AI Balance Beginner AI made slightly more effective (to address feedback that they were too easy) Easy AI made slightly less effective so difficulty ramp up between Beginner > Easy > Normal is more consistent

Campaign Balance M08 difficulty balance M04 additional difficulty balance

Adjusted tree/forest size to make them more prominent in the terrain

Fix for desert trees having bad LOD

Adjust tree shadow LOD draw distance so they are visible farther out
