Jun 1, 2025June 2025 monthly summary for openfrontio/OpenFrontIO: Implemented a comprehensive gameplay balance overhaul to slow combat, refine Terra Nullius terrain interactions, and rebalance economy, with the aim of reducing snowballing and supporting diverse player strategies. The changes span combat pacing, Terra Nullius behavior, resource production, unit speeds, and population growth. Delivered via two commits: 05a2338fead3174eaa120f6b7600c94727e389c7 ('Another Balance Change (#987)') and 2e0d8242e25eb2dc08db906a0003263ee3fd6a97 ('Balance Update (#996)'). Result: sharper strategic depth, improved balance across playstyles, and preparation for iterative tuning in future sprints.
