# 15 April 2023 - prospective patch notes

## Designer's Notes
We will revise reclamation (and other corpse interactions), as well as Vulture mine-laying.

We have increased worker training times as another means of testing a slower scaling for the early-game. It should also help to leave more room for "flow" inside early build orders, while increasing the value of parallel worker queues.

A stat adjustment has occurred with the aim of creating a game state with higher time-to-kill than what has hitherto been seen within Cosmonarchy Brood War. We believe this shift will create a less-volatile game at all stages of all matchups, and allow for individual mistakes to be less about losing the game and more about ceding advantages to your opponent - which will, of course, eventually lose you the game!

Just like every other large-scale change we have attempted recently, this will be tinkered with and evaluated over time, but we are excited to achieve a game state that allows for more measured play and less coin-flip interactions. Stay tuned!

## Gameplay
- Zerg regression now applies to units as well as structures, and structures mutated by Droleths now regress into Droleths on death (c. Veeq7)
- The melee weapons of the following units have had their ranges mildly adjusted, with the aim of improving responsivity:
	- Zealot, Cabalist, Pariah, Golem, Zethrokor, Vorvrokor, Nathrokor, Gorgrokor, Rilirokor, Ultrokor
- During construction, Masons and Taloses now move in a predictable pattern (c. DarkenedFantasies)

## Bugfixes
- Many wandering corner cases have been found and fixed (c. Veeq7)
- Range changes now correctly apply to attacks which go to max range, and many max range corner cases have been found and fixed (c. Veeq7)
- Ground workers now use ground distance when returning resources (c. Veeq7)
- While using cncdraw, screen hotkeys will no longer sometimes fail to recall the screen position (c. Veeq7)
- Terran workers that halt construction and then go on to complete a different construction no longer return to the halted structure (c. DarkenedFantasies)
- Taloses now correctly return to their initial construction position, just like Masons (c. DarkenedFantasies)
