Again an update but this time it focuses on some major balance issues of the older versions. It might still not be perfect but it's a lot better to play now concerning the overall difficulty. Also, it fixes some more bugs found so far. A complete changelog can be found below.
This will hopefully be the last update until the next Defender faction is done. Only Soviets all the time gets boring. By the way, I encourage you to take part in sharing ideas for the upcoming Allied Defender.
