Very nice changes, but I can't believe they nerfed Gating...

The nerf to Gating makes absolutely no sense ... and even less, since they didn't touch Guardian Angel.

Agreed, the main problem I see with Gating is the fact that AI almost compulsively attacks the gate instead of normal troops.

And it attacks the gated stack if you move the normal troop out of melee

Edit: Well, JOY. Tried to fire up VI on steam and now it can't connect to conflux because the version is outdated. Ubihole, I hope by Asha you get that snow sorted out when the game is released.
