The new bomber (battle ship replacement) unit's range is 3. Thats 1+ higher than the battleship. It should stay 2 like the battleship because this basically makes the bomber a big upgrade of the catapult (with more health, movement and defense). Battleships are already massively used in the base game in comparison of the catapult but this update makes the catapult a bad choice in any map that has a decent amount of water (basically every map type except for dryland). You could say that the bomber is more expensive but it was that as the battleship and it still was a better option for its price.

We tested a range of 2 and found out that it make the Bomber completely worthless, so it was put back to 3.

every tile lights up red

God, that sounds like a UI nightmare.

Im sure you have tested it but im wondering how it would affect the game, what about bombers not having splash? It makes getting into the water physically impossible of you are not already. What do you think?

Maybe.

Midjiwan knows about this issue, and we'll probably be looking at it after release.
