Update 1.2

*Hello commanders!

The second content update for Taur is now live.

This update introduces 7 new enemy units: A large **dropship **unit, a **gunship **unit and 5 different types of heavy infantry units, each with their own unique specialization and equipment.

Also added are 10 new maps in 2 new biomes: **Lunar **and Space. These maps have low to no gravity, making infantry knock-down effects especially deadly.

Feedback and/or ideas for coming updates are as always appreciated, please use the pinned forum post to let me know!
