The Claws & Chaos demo has been updated again, and we have a real nest-full of changes.

Let’s talk about some of the bigger [b]System Updates[/b] first: [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44445888/005a71697b8c255fa77a71aa807fc497f69971e9.png[/img] [list] [*] [u]Combat Grid [/u]- During the deployment phase, the battlefield now includes a grid that will improve consistency, clarity, and make placements on the field more discrete and tactical.

[*] [u]Unit List Overhaul[/u] - The list of units has been updated to use the book UI. [*] [u]Targeting improved[/u] so melee units don’t walk around the edges of the arena as often.
