DEFY 1.0.1 - Field Tech, smarter infantry, and a smoother command post

Commanders,

1.0.1 is live. Here is what changed on the front.

New: FIELD TECH

• Units now earn capabilities at your facilities. Open FIELD TECH from the top bar to research them by branch: infantry, vehicles, air and structures. Each card shows its cost, research time and cooldown.
• Army-wide upgrades now reach the units already on the field, not only the ones you build next.

Infantry fight smarter

• Infantry under fire take cover and return fire on the shooter, then get back to the job you gave them.
• Infantry steer around tanks instead of spinning in place beside them.
• Rocket troops carry their launchers low and swing them as they run.

Battlefield

• Bridges can be shot. Rounds hit the deck, splinters fly, and a bomber strike shows it.
• Villages show how many people are sheltering in a building.
• Villagers and animals stay visible in ground you have already explored.
• Clicking a low, flat building selects it.

Harrow

• The Thresher's turret now turns, and its two saw drums spin.
• More Harrow machines turn their guns on their targets.

Match highlights

• New setting, MATCH HIGHLIGHTS (Settings > Video): record a highlights reel and battle shots of your matches.

Fixes

• Clicking buildings to queue production no longer stalls.
• Quitting to the desktop is fast again.
• DLC owners can pick their nation in the lobby again.
• The Concord Lodestar's wreck rests on the ground instead of hanging in the air.
• The top bar keeps MENU and BASE on screen when the economy readout fills.
• Several launch units now face and drive nose-first.
• Many smaller polish and stability fixes.

Thank you for playing and for every report. Keep them coming.
