Undead Patch Notes — Counterattacks, AP Refunds, Live Alliance Feed
Counterattacks resolve from the current hit, not a stale snapshot. Failed actions refund AP only after the terminal state is written. Joining or leaving an alliance reconnects the live frontline feed.
Date: 13 August 2026
Status: Live on production
This update fixes combat resolution and live sync. It does not add new action types. Counterattacks, AP refunds, and the alliance feed now follow the state you are actually in.

1. Counterattacks use the current hit
Melee counterattacks now resolve from the state at this hit, not a snapshot taken before the Tick. If the opponent already dropped, went indoors, or changed sides, the counter result matches what you see.
2. Refunds wait for a terminal state
Failed actions refund AP only after the terminal write succeeds. That avoids a middle state where the UI says fail, AP returns early, then settlement changes its mind.
3. Alliance changes reconnect the live feed
After you join or leave an alliance, the frontline SSE reconnects under the new alliance id. It no longer stays on the snapshot from connect time. Building-control reads are batched so the numbers go stale less often.
What this update does not do
- Damage formulas and weapon tables are unchanged
- Tick interval is unchanged
- This is not a new combat skill
Try it once
- In a melee exchange, check that counters match current stance and HP.
- Queue an action that should fail and confirm AP returns only after the failure is final.
- Join or leave an alliance and confirm the frontline feed keeps updating.
