Field update

The camera stays where you put it

dWars v0.6.103 · 2 November 2026

Four rings that read your energy supply, a camera that holds the ground you choose, and territory that stops flickering cut off.

New

A COMMAND panel reads your energy supply at a glance. Four rings bottom-left - battalions 1, 2 and 3, and Nesa - each filling violet with the battery its units carry against their full strength. The minimap takes the bottom-right corner.
A ring turns red when supply falls and green when it climbs, measuring now against one second ago, so a destroyed Tank reads red and a resupply reads green.
Each disc wears its own battalion's colour, and Nesa's ring shows her live portrait.
The camera answers to the keyboard. Q refocuses Nesa, WASD pans, Z and X zoom, and E frames the whole level then returns you to the view you left.
Hovering a friendly battalion lights a halo outside its silhouette.
The minimap draws the selected battalion's supply point and supply line.

The camera holds the ground you click. Left click open ground and the view stays there while Nesa moves; nothing drags it back until you refocus with Q or her ring. WASD no longer snaps back after three seconds.
Selecting a battalion focuses the camera on it and shows its orders. Giving the order hands the display back while the camera keeps following; deselecting leaves the camera where it is.
Heroes, bases and structures keep their authored look in the Command display. They used to flatten into pixel-map dots, and Nesa's model faded out for a circle. Fighting units still drop away.
The battalion line flares toward the head, reaching twice its supply-point width by the time it meets the battalion.
Battalion outlines are drawn by hand - a slight wobble on bodies, heads, supply points and routes, rounded-square supply points, sharp outlines at close zoom, and thinner lines at the whole-map fit.
Warmer light on the map, with the specular highlight off.
Order keys moved. Battalion orders are R, T, Y and U, and G toggles the units and supply overlay.

The map looks the same on every machine. Lighting was saved into your display settings and applied over the shipped art direction, so a returning player kept the sun from before 0.6.101 while a fresh browser got the new one. Lighting and battalion outline weight travel with the build now.
Territory behind a contested supply route no longer flickers cut off. One contested pixel losing the heartbeat for a tick left every pixel behind it reporting itself unsupplied, striping the land in bands. A connected pixel now keeps its supply through up to eight missed beats while a longer route still reaches your base.

Nesa is level play's only hero. Elle is not spawned, selectable or in the command menu, and her building orders have not been redesigned around Nesa yet.
Nesa's ring shows no cooldown - nothing feeds one yet.
Structure, upgrade and hero-skill prices remain provisional while the energy economy is tuned.
Nesa's order panel shows no prices, and an owned skill looks the same as one you have not bought.
Recordings made before 0.6.103 may not replay exactly, following the supply heartbeat change.

The camera waited where I left it. A small courtesy. I am keeping a list of those too. - Nesa
