On a base with no power yet, the Power card on the build screen used to read "0.0 / 0.0" above an empty bar — a meter that looked broken rather than one that told you anything. It now says what the situation actually is: build a Power Plant. Once one is on the way it says so, and shows how much power the base will have when it lands.

On a phone, the target box on the Attack screen used to chop its own hint text in half — it offered you two ways to name a target and then stopped mid-word, so you only ever got to read one and a half of them. The field now takes the full width of the row and the instruction reads in full. The commander field on the Standings screen was being squeezed the same way, harder, and that one is fixed too.

The transaction panel at the bottom of the Imperial Bank was headed "Spice flow" — a resource that does not exist in this war. It now reads Transactions, which is what the rows beneath it have always been.

Numbers used to be written two different ways depending on where you looked — your Titanite stock read "8.000" in the top bar while the rank formula two lines below said "5,000", and the bank quoted a rate of "1,59" next to a cap of "2.000.000". Same screen, opposite conventions.

Everything now uses one: a comma for thousands and a dot for decimals. That stock reads 8,000, the bank's rate reads 1.59, and the cap reads 2,000,000 — on every screen, in the live tickers and in your event log.

On the rankings screen, your own highlighted row pressed its rank number and its score right up against the edges of the highlight, so both looked like half a digit — worst of all on a phone. Your row now sits in a band with proper breathing room on either side, and the same fix went to the Players Online roster and your alliance's member list, where your row was highlighted the same way.

The small symbols marking build time, power draw, build space, locked items and protected commanders are now drawn properly instead of borrowed from your device's emoji set. They keep the same shape and colour on every phone, tablet and desktop — before this, each device drew its own version, and some drew a blank box instead.

Opening Details on something in flight — a special weapon on its way to a target, a garrison stationed at an ally's base, or any other force on the move — returned a server error instead of the report. It now opens the full report as it should.

The same fault sat behind older links to battle reports and event notices, so report links kept in your inbox or opened from a notification work again too.

Two report fixes for commanders under fire.

An incoming attack warning now lists the defences standing at the base that is actually being attacked, once per structure type. If you hold several bases, the warning used to run every base's turrets and walls together into one long line, which made it impossible to tell what was waiting at the base under threat.

A special strike impact report now shows what the warhead actually took out — each structure and unit hit, how many were destroyed and how many are still standing, alongside the weapon and the base it landed on. Attackers see what their own strike destroyed.

The deep desert is open. A new Expeditions entry in the Military menu sends your commander out past the mapped bands — into Consortium wrecks, storm edges, sandcrawler fields and the craters beyond them.

Two kinds of work are on offer. Journeys are timed round trips: choose a mission, pick an escort from one of your bases, and wait for the party to come home. Objectives ask nothing of the road — you take the assignment and finish it by doing what you already do, whether that is filing a spy report, holding off an attack, winning one of your own, or bringing a scout run back.

A journey does not simply succeed. It returns a success, a partial success, or a setback, and the escort you send shifts those odds — Thumpers especially, for the reason they always have. Success pays out in research blueprints you would otherwise never lay eyes on, units and upgrades that appear on no build list, and caches of titanite and ISC. A partial return still pays the supplies. A setback costs you part of the escort and puts the mission on a cooldown, but never closes the road — it re-arms itself when the cooldown runs out.

Fifty-one missions are waiting across four tiers, many of them chained so that finishing one opens the next. Each tier also hides a Trial Rite: your commander goes alone, no escort permitted, and a rare skill point waits at the end of it.

The login page's still portrait of Titan has been replaced by the living planet itself — slowly turning, storms crawling across the desert, lightning flickering in the dark. It greets you on phones too, scales with your window, and fades in smoothly; the command staff can tune the whole scene from the admin panel.

Also in this release: the Starport now stocks every unit you can actually build. Units that only become available through an upgrade — the Engineer among them — never showed up in its catalog, even once you had unlocked them. The market now follows your unlocks exactly like the build pages do, and the listing is split into Infantry, Vehicles and Aircraft sections so finding a unit works the same everywhere.

Upgrading a unit line left the attack planner behind: it kept listing the old unit stuck at zero and never offered the upgraded one, so there was no way to put those troops into a plan. The planner now follows your upgrades — the new unit appears with your real troop count, the retired one steps aside, and the simulation accepts it. The enemy-force picker has learned the upgraded units too, while still letting you enter the older ones a defender may well be fielding.

Since 3 August the game's every-minute heartbeat had been stopping partway through, and one destroyed base turned out to be enough to do it: a base that fell while one of its buildings was still under repair could not finish being cleared away, and the whole pass died on the spot rather than moving on. Everything scheduled after that point stopped happening — storms, bank movements, eruptions and sandcrawler activity had not run at all in those two days, and depending on where the pass gave out, some Commanders were missing production, completed orders and arriving forces on any given minute.

The heartbeat runs cleanly again, and the two bases that had been stuck mid-collapse finish falling as normal. Nothing was lost while it was stuck — the work had simply not been applied yet, and it picks up from where it left off.

The releases page has been quietly filling up with work you can't see — admin tools, test-server plumbing, the machinery that ships the game. From now on it lists only what actually changes the game for you, and a release that was purely housekeeping simply says so.

Releases that bundle several changes now read as separate entries too, instead of running together.

The amount you own on the Build screen has moved off the artwork and into the top-right corner of each card, tucked just inside the frame. Every unit and building render is now visible in full, and where a base limit applies that limit turns red the moment you reach it, so you can see at a glance when there is no room for another.

The "Preview on dev" tool used to get stuck if a release changed the game underneath a running preview — it would silently retry forever and the preview stayed gone. It now repairs itself where possible, and when it can't, it says exactly what went wrong and hands the fix to the engineering crew automatically.

The side menu picked up a second scrollbar in the last release whenever it was taller than your screen. It's gone. The menu now travels down the page with you and settles into place the moment its last entry reaches the bottom of the screen, so everything stays within reach and there's only ever one thing to scroll. The admin menu behaves the same way.

House artwork now follows you everywhere it should. The tech tree, the Starport, the research queue, the resource breakdown in the top bar, your army and convoy pickers and the world map's escort lists all draw your own house's version of a building or unit instead of falling back to the shared plate — the Build tab was the only screen getting this right before.

Nothing changes for anything that has no house-specific artwork yet: it keeps the shared look, exactly as it does today. And you will only ever see your own house's art for your own forces.

Four tier-2 units have stopped being common property. The Outlaw answers to Asturian alone, the Saboteur and the Raider Trike to Ophion, and the Commando to Hybris — and only that house can build one, or buy one at the Starport. Everyone else will find the unit simply gone from their build list and their planning screens; there is no point showing a Commander something they can never raise.

The field manual still lists all four, marked with the house they belong to, so you can see what you are up against before you meet it. More house-exclusive hardware is coming as the higher tiers open up.
