Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
Hello all!!
Its been a wild week, but that doesn't mean we stop improving Veil of Crows! Your feedback has been more than valuable, so we will keep pushing and polishing to make this game even better!
Today's update not only fixes a few bugs, but it also brings quite a nice optimization. Details inside!

- Added the ability to map the W A S D keys to other keys for non-QWERTY keyboards.
- Unit stats added to the game index.
- Max battle size text now turns red if set over 350 units as previous warning doesn't seem enough.
Armory

Thank you all for your support and feedback!
Enjoy!

Edit: Update!
Just added a small update that will improve load times for battles with many hero units.
The next patch is in the works but it may need some time. I am processing a lot of great feedback and am experimenting whith what I can do.
