"This update makes significant improvements in performance,” said Stardock CEO Brad Wardell. “We increased the number of CPU cores that can simultaneously interact with the GPU from 8 to 16 which should translate to smoother performance when thousands of units are on screen.” [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/25992960/b02b4cc93b33c7ce25c1478fbe0ea0542c03d586.jpg[/img] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/25992960/07313c9b7017fceb85c1385a2958b27c6d49bcde.jpg[/img] The Turtle Wars and Entropy scenarios have been re-balanced in order to implement changes from previous version updates. Additionally, the Nashira map has been adjusted to correct some pathing issues that were previously reported. https://store.steampowered.com/app/507490 [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/25992960/637e875b5216c3daa2c2f7545b800904667ae26f.jpg[/img]
