I’m gonna give this version a try on Friday. I wanna see some of the improvements they have made since The February release.
Cool battles this version has. Both land and space looks and feels fantastic.
Good update but I have two ideas for the next update:
1- Bring back the rotating cannons
2- Add the Arquitens for the Empire
