This is a balance update, primarily regarding Emissary and Cloakbots, and also includes some vital fixes. There is now a quick modding system that can be used to test out balance, or perhaps just to create wacky game modes. The current position of Cloakbots in the meta made them primes target for some !Fun! buffs.

Many balance suggestions are expressed on the forum with no easy means of testing. To address this, there is a new setting during game setup, under Advanced Options, that can be used to change almost any aspect of the game, no rebuilding or rehosting required. Check out [url=https://zero-k.info/mediawiki/index.php?title=Quick_Stat_Tweaks]the wiki page[/url] to see how to make faster Glaives and long-ranged Bandits.
