Orcs and Humans!

Big changes are here!

We're pushing a major asymmetry update - shifting how Humans and Orcs play, adding new structures, new units, and reworking old mechanics. This is a bold step toward making each faction feel truly distinct.

And to celebrate, we're running a -30% discount on The Scouring!

Asymmetry Update Changes:

Humans:

- Charge removed from Footman. Replaced with Bash - more powerful, but only available at T3.
