2 Revenant was [url=http://zero-k.info/Forum/Thread/36520]brought back from the dead[/url] just over a year ago, but it lurked in the background until the appearance of [url=http://zero-k.info/Forum/Thread/37499]combat engineers[/url]. Killing these newly-popular commanders in two shots let people really explore what Revenant could do, and most of it looked fine, so the Revenant nerfs focus on early game power. One thing that ended up not being fine was Revenant spires, so its missiles now explode after a short time rather than fall to the ground. 3 Revenant was [url=http://zero-k.info/Forum/Thread/36520]brought back from the dead[/url] just over a year ago, but it lurked in the background until the appearance of [url=http://zero-k.info/Forum/Thread/37499]combat engineers[/url].

4 With Revenant moving towards a healthy place, it is time to revive another tricky unit. Scallop is the candidate this time and it is a dangerous unit to buff, so the changes are aimed squarely at it being a better riot. It now 2-shots individual Ducks and can stand toe-to-toe with similar riots. On paper it is still worse than Reaver, but knowing Scallop it will break the game anyway, so look forward to it. 5 With Revenant moving towards a healthy place, it is time to revive another tricky unit.

6 The last release was a bit too recent for many features to roll in. A notable fix is for aircraft wing trails, and a notable feature is the random selection of custom music albums, as well as the ability to play mp3s. 7 The last release was a bit too recent for many features to roll in.
