1、修复了战斗中当玩家进攻时，防御技能特效可能会错误触发的Bug。
2、修复了部分防御技能特效数值错误的问题。

We’re getting closer to version 1.5.0! This week, I’m showing you a small but important change to the troop cards… and the complete rebalance of the hottest realm in Ocelis, Canicula.

Until now, troop cards had a fairly basic design, and even caused some visual issues with certain units — especially the Emaciated, which would almost disappear into the background.

They’ve now been redesigned to be clearer, more visually appealing, and to avoid these problems.

As you can see, this update applies to both troop cards and profession cards.

Canicula has also been fully reworked. Just like Estesa, Nevura, and the other realms, all maps have been reviewed and adjusted to the new balance system.

And this time, no map has been spared — they’ve all received updates, whether in paths, defenses, or both.

The new routes are designed to encourage a wider range of strategies, pushing players to carefully consider which troops to deploy based on their strengths and weaknesses.

With this, six realms have now been fully updated to the new system. Only one remains before the release of version 1.5.0, which —as you already know— is set for July 18, coinciding with the anniversary of Countless Army.

See you very soon with the final updates before the big day!

Still same version, but I had to hotfix an issue with Enhancing buildings that got bugged out by the fix on output preview with enhancers! I've reverted it at the moment and will send it back to debugging.

Thanks
Michele
