Mar 1, 2026March 2026 (2026-03) – TerraGov-Marine-Corps: Delivered a targeted feature change to balance the Warlock class: reduced the Psychic Lance range from 12 tiles to 9 tiles and updated its damage type description from brute to burn in the UI. This improves game balance by limiting long-range pokes and ensures player-facing text matches actual behavior, reducing confusion and edge-case misinterpretations. The change is documented in commit 2881bdf58e35d16f1b804d8b4407cdc0f04a2b5c (#18612).
