Patch Notes 2506-17

Attention Commanders

The Coastal Battery is here!

A new free unit meant to support coastal defense by limiting enemy naval movement and helping secure chokepoints, islands, and shoreline provinces. It can be built right after setting up a Combat Outpost, with no research needed for the first tier. While stationary and not effective against ground forces, it performs well against naval threats. Upgrades are available through the Towed Artillery tech line, gradually improving its naval, air, and missile defense capabilities, and eventually allowing for radar detection and cruise missile use at Tier 4. The Coastal Battery becomes increasingly useful over time, especially when combined with other defensive units to strengthen coastal positions.

We've also implemented a range of general UI and visual improvements across the platform, including refined text and icon alignments, enhanced terrain textures, and adjusted the sizing of pop-ups and text elements for better readability. These updates contribute to a cleaner, more cohesive and visually polished interface.
