10 changes in this update

Added

4 changes
  • Pause the battle — opening the menu now freezes the fight with a big PAUSED banner while you decide whether to quit

  • Place structures with hotkeys — A for Turret, S for Mine, D for Barricade

  • C cycles your whole army's stance, F toggles auto mode

  • Scavenger upgrade — your units roam farther to grab battlefield items

Improved

3 changes
  • Redesigned top bar — the PLAN/FIGHT banner is centred and every button is the same size and evenly spaced Kill feed now stacks repeated deaths into one line (e.g. zombie x3) instead of spamming a row each

  • The Kite stance reads consistently everywhere — the stance button used to say "Retreat" while the cards said "Kite"

  • Clearer deploy costs (shown in points) and a roomier controls hint that lists every hotkey

Fixed

3 changes
  • You can now reliably build more than one turret — a builder getting briefly bumped no longer abandons the structure for good or wastes your deploy budget

  • Your units obey their drawn orders instead of being pulled away to build, unless no one else is free

  • Bomber blasts now show one clean explosion — fixed missing, duplicated and misplaced explosion effects
