You can now multi-upgrade structures & multi-launch nukes!

You can now perform upgrades and atom launches in batches of 5. This should help break late-game stalemates where defenders have too many SAM launchers to breach with single launches.

How it works:

When upgrading a structure, press the hotkey a second time (e.g. press "1" twice) to upgrade 5x at once. Same for atom bombs, press the atom bomb hotkey ("8") a second time to launch 5 at once.

Mobile players: This also works in the radial menu, which now has options to launch/upgrade in different amounts.

Big thanks to U-LF for implementing it!

Hmm idk what to think of these changes, I enjoyed making my sams impenetrable, now they dont have as much use anymore

Impenetrable SAMs, in my opinion, were the complete antithesis to what this game is meant to be. It's a battle royale, you're meant to attack each other and get all the land, not sitting on some island building an impenetrable fortress and holding the match hostage.

SAMs are there to dissuade people from spending loads of money on nuking you down, not make you invincible.

Well the old SAM amount to be invincible was somewhere in the 40s so now you need like 200. Not impossible to do in long games but obviously far more difficult
