After a lot of great feedback, we went back to the testing phase on our latest creation – the Alexander Scenario Submod. To fix many of the issues, I did my best to test most of this past week and improve the balance. Going forward, we hope to have new features for the submod but I wanted to get the balancing right first. if you are interested, you can find the submod on TWC or on Steam.
