This update includes six new maps, a 2v2 ranked mode with leaderboards, and an extensive balance overhaul. You can queue for 2v2 matches either solo or with friends, allowing a flexible multiplayer experience.

Noteworthy features also include a population cap adjuster for matches, letting players engage with between 100 to 500 units. Furthermore, a lobby chat system has been introduced, making waiting for matches more engaging, along with a basic spectator mode.

The update also brings balance changes for existing units, promoting a structured Early/Mid/Late pacing for tech progression that varies by faction.
