  Campaign Edicts: Every Campaign Now Has Its Own Twist

  Hello everyone,This update adds a new system to make each campaign feel more distinct, more reactive, and more challenging as you climb the ladder: Campaign Edicts.Until now, later campaigns could start to feel a little too comfortable once you had already figured out the early game.
