- [Pr0totype #31 - A Qualifying Statement](https://youtu.be/31_kKGo5VlE):
## Patch summary (so far...)
- Cut top speeds of several air units across all races and tiers
- Refocus mid-game Terran mech towards a slower, more durable direction
- Boost mobility of Terran bio to better deviate from Terran mech
- Revise key units to remove undesired, overly-binary interactions
## General
- Improved fog of war reveal on cliffs, from low ground (c. DF)
- Shuffled Protoss structure buttons in construction submenus to improve organization

## Game Modes
- Added Faction Wars (a Btyb bounty!), allowing players to select a subfaction.
- This mode is very much in a "minimum viable product" stage, and only Terran factions exist right now, with very few changes compared to stock Terrans... but it should still be neat!
## AI
- Mappers can now set Mineral Field type 1 deaths to control the faction of AI. This is preliminary support as factions continue to receive development.
- See [this page](https://www.fraudsclub.com/cosmonarchy-bw/sites/scenario-setup/#gameplay-commands) for specific info.
