Hello everyone,

As promised when v3.5.0 was released a month ago, today we're releasing the v3.5.1 hotfix to patch up any issues with the rulebooks, as well as tweaking balance based on player feedback.

These balance tweaks are being made to hotfix some weird combos players have reported, simplify some of the new army-wide rules, as well tone back the lethality to be a little closer to pre-v3.5 levels. As things shift, points also get fixed and adjusted, so there's lots of little tweaks to the cost of units here.

Since the release of v3.5 was delayed, and the Q1 patch is coming very soon (sometime in January), you shouldn't expect a lot of changes from that one (although we do have one cool surprise for AoF fans coming, so keep your eyes peeled).

We hope you enjoy this hotfix, happy wargaming!
