2023-02-16 18:16:49 +00:00
## Designer's Notes
2023-05-25 21:34:52 +00:00
2023-08-26 23:17:59 +00:00
More rebalancings, more new sprites, more bugfixes - it's another hefty CMBW patch! Pr0nogo is back from vacation and ready to adjust the rate of economic growth, and make spending your money more interesting and meaningful - in the mid-game, especially!
2023-07-03 03:01:46 +00:00
2023-08-26 23:17:59 +00:00
## Summary
- Mason and Scribe training time is now 14 seconds, matching the Droleth
- Quarry and Larvosk Cesiant are tier 2; Embassy price has increased
- Several price adjustments have occurred across all races and tech tiers, aiming for better balance between resource spending and making it less feasible to get high-power armies *and* achieve fast tech timings

2023-08-21 23:30:10 +00:00
