Mechabellum Test Server Update 1.11x2 Patch Notes

Typhoon is the headline target in Update 1.11x2 on Mechabellum's test server, dropping today. Recovery value falls from 600 to 500, while the cost gets bumped in two stages: 100 to 200, and 200 to 250. That's a meaningful economic squeeze on a unit that's clearly been overperforming, and I'd expect these numbers to shift how aggressively players lean on Typhoon in the mid-to-late game.

On the quality-of-life side, Unit Reinforcement now has a skip button, with the supplies you receive for skipping scaling up as rounds progress. It's a small change, but anyone who's sat through reinforcement screens they didn't want will appreciate it. Experimental Death Knell also joins Unit Drop in 4-Player Brawl, which should shake up that mode's unit availability.

Bugfixes cover Typhoon, Experimental Death Knell, Fortress, Phoenix, and Sabertooth, plus some localization corrections. The Typhoon changes are the ones to watch as this patch moves toward the live servers.
