That was the preview that was pretty much universally loved but trashed because it changed too much eh? (the one where pgrens had mark target and stuff?)
My guess is that the devs still want their own vision of the game without it just becoming a community thing. Idk.
Yup pretty sure it had the price premiums for all the call-ins too. It seemed like they might revisit some of those changes, since they thought it was too much for one patch.
I never got to try the mortar pit idea out before it was removed, but that seems worth trying again. It allows you to keep the emplacement style of the unit while also making it more flexible.
