Black Eye Games, the developer of Gloria Victis, recently released a new update that introduces many changes according to player feedback. The siege engines got a small change in terms of hit points. Catapults, for example, are now tougher requiring seven ballista shots or two to four trebuchet hits. Before, catapults could be destroyed with three ballista shots or one trebuchet hit.
Shields were indestructible items in the previous game version. However, developers made a change because of how powerful shields are, especially with medics around. So now, shields can break and can receive damage when hit by arrows or other tools. While the change can take a while to get used to, it makes the game more stimulating to play.
