Mud and Blood received an update that introduced a new campaign battle condition and a tree burning mechanic for forest fires. In addition to that, developers have fixed several in-game issues.
New Campaign Battle Condition: Crucible
The New Campaign Battle Condition: Crucible spawns a group of six Branderburgs against your squad. They are modeled after the player’s squad and fight just as well as them. Mostly, they only have to face a maximum of six enemies on this map.
Forest Fires
Previously, fires spread to everything except trees. To tackle this unusuality, developers added a tree burning mechanic which causes fire to spread to trees and its surroundings, if the fire is big enough. Although it can result in some uncontrollable wildfires, it is beneficial for players as setting a forest on fire can be used as an option to deny the enemy.
