Base Defense v2.1.0 — Wave Overhaul, Advancements & Command Refactor

This update refines the core pacing of siege nights, integrates specialist mobs naturally into regular gameplay, introduces an interactive advancement tutorial tree, and unifies all commands.

⚔️ Wave Pacing & Spawning Overhaul

• Instant Sunset Deployment: Waves and Blood Moons now trigger immediately at sunset (tick 13,000) with a warning horn/title, and spawn all units 5 seconds later in compact tactical formations (no more waiting until midnight!).
• Armies Scaled by +60%: Major raids and night encounters now deploy significantly larger battalions for a true base siege experience.
• Organic Siege Specialists: Specialist units now appear naturally in waves and Blood Moons without artificial milestone locks:
  • Day 7+: Siege Sappers rushing perimeter walls.
  • Day 12+: Mobile Siege Ballistas bombarding from artillery range.
  • Day 15+: Corrupted Priests shielding infantry with protection wards.
  • Day 18+: Gargoyles swooping over fortifications.
• Clean Atmospheric Nights: Removed intrusive fog/acid rain modifiers to ensure smooth performance and unobstructed visibility, preserving the dramatic blood-red sky exclusively during Blood Moons.

📜 Interactive Tutorial Advancements

• Complete Visual Fix: Replaced broken checkerboard backgrounds with clean, high-contrast deepslate stone styling.
• 9-Step Linear Onboarding: Designed a step-by-step path teaching new players how to place the Base Flag, manage realms, mine magnetic copper, construct turrets, craft the War Hammer, and conquer legion bosses.
• Trigger Calibration: Fixed auto-unlock issues so turret advancements only unlock when players actually craft and place them into the world.
