Warhammer 40,000: Gladius - Version 1.2.4 (Changelog and download link)

[AlbertoC]

Time for a new update!

This update is primarily aimed at rebalancing Tyranid and Astra Militarum economies, and fixing a variety of outstanding bugs. You can download it from the Members Area.

In the meantime, the team is also working on amazing new content. We're really looking forward to showing you more. Soon!


Changelog:

Special resource features now value biomass percentage bonuses as double to offset the disproportionately higher biomass output of Tyranid buildings. To reduce the irregularities of map generation for Tyranids, more features now have a biomass bonus.

### Balance
* Reduced Grox Pasture from +20% biomass to +10% biomass.
* Changed Trader Encampment for Tyranids from +20% influence to +10% influence and +5% biomass, and constant bonus from +2 influence to +1 influence and +1 biomass.
* Changed Promethium Relay Pipes for Tyranids from +20% influence to +10% influence and +5% biomass, and constant bonus from +2 influence to +1 influence and +1 biomass.
* Changed Recaf Leaf for Tyranids from +2 influence to +1 influence and +1 biomass.
* Increased Zoanthrope cost by 33%.
* Astra Militarum resource edicts now only increase the output of the associated resource buildings to prevent tilting edict efficiency towards certain resources that appear more frequently on buildings, such as Labor Corps and Manufactorum ore.
* Spawning units now triggers overwatch.
* Spawning units now capture outposts.
* Smoke Screen can now be used on adjacent tiles.
* Reduced Hunter-Killer Missile damage from 12 to 8 and armor penetration from 8 to 6.
* Fixed Triarch Praetorians gaining Hammer of Wrath when using Jump Packs without having Hammer of Wrath researched.
* Bolster Defences can now be used on its own tile.
* Bolster Defences now gives invulnerable damage reduction instead of ranged damage reduction.
* Reduced Siren Caster from +5 to +4 loyalty.

### General
* The world generator now tries to place players of the same team closer together.
* Added Space Marine Shotgun flavor.
* Clarified in trait descriptions that Barrage and Melee cannot overwatch.
* Clarified in trait description that Pinning only works on fearful infantry.

### Bug Fixes
* Fixed Reclaim Unit target selection sometimes not showing a unit's value.
* Fixed trait conditions sometimes matching wrongly if the unit has multiple instances of the same trait type, for example when being adjacent to a friendly and an enemy Synapse Creature simultaneously.
* Fixed Flyers capturing outposts when a Fortress of Redemption is destroyed.
* Fixed Ammo Runt not having Flash Gitz as requirement.
* Fixed extraneous Stormraven Gunship requirement from Ceramite Plating.
