DIFFICULTY BALANCING

Shrot is now easier on the easy difficulty. Difficulty can be changed at any time in Options, but may not be reflected in older saved games where previously planned attacks are already in progress. However, it is still necessary to keep in mind that numerous losses on all sides and constant pressure from enemies are a fundamental feature of the game and victory is never free.

TUTORIAL AND ONBOARDING

Tutorial in the first mission and the Economic Training are now improved and more understandable. I also added a button to display information about the selected unit/building, which was previously buried in the Knowledge section. This section can also be opened with the "I" key and contains information about all buildings and units.

KEYSTROKE HELP

The game can be controlled entirely with the mouse and there is no need to touch the keyboard, but some keys are very useful:
