It's cool you're updating frequently! About the sturdy modifier, I did encounter a bug that happened twice- It will sometimes be applied but not apply the indicator onto your character. It still saves them from death, but just doesn't show the S. I think this happens if one character takes the sturdy modifier more than once? I was heavily relying on the strategy of stacking one unit with health and praying for heals.
ah yes that stupid bug! I’m pretty sure it’s fixed locally but who can say for sure with nebulous bugs…. “make one gigaunit with enormous max health and pray for Hot Springs” is probably the dominant strategy in the current build yes – tomorrow’s build introduces the “healer” attribute that should allow for a little more diversity of strategy.
