Warhammer 40,000: Gladius - v1.2.6 Update

[AlbertoC]

Hi all,

We are releasing a new update for Gladius. It's a small one, containing only some balance tweaks and bug fixes, following the feedback you have given us.

In the meantime, work continues on the upcoming Chaos Space Marines DLC! Stay tuned, we'll have news soon.

* Increased Haruspex's Rapacious Hunger additional attacks from +33% to +50%.
* Increased Tyrannofex's Rupture Cannon attacks from 2 to 3.
* Reduced Librarian Shockwave damage by 50%.
* Triarch Stalker's Targeting Relay now correctly buffs only Necron infantry units.
* Necrons Tombs are now guaranteed to not have more than one cliff / water tile next to them.

* Reduced Librarian Shockwave damage by 50%.

That seems huge, too much nerfed, I would not react if it were by 33%. I didn't test yet.
Edit: Tested. That's weird, it feels even more powerfull than before... Didn't you add 50% rather than remove them?

Balance & AI seem excellent at now. Games are though epic, harsh and fun.
Let's hope Chaos will continue in this (sure a release must be perfected).

This concerns 1.2.6 legacy version for the Ork research tree.
I noticed there are two unlabeled techs in the tree
in tier 1 and also in tier 10.
What are these techs and what do they do?
And how can their text labeling be properly displayed?
Happens on both the Slitherine 1.2.6 download and the steam version
