Filtered coverage tracking verified updates for RTS titles and hardware targets.

Current focus includes Stormgate's offline transition and the Celestials faction, Tempest Rising's GDF-versus-Dynasty asymmetry, Age of Empires IV's seasonal balance, Manor Lords' early-access build systems, and indie entries like Songs of Syx and Light of Noora. Each breakdown is built from the official patch notes, Steam announcement, or developer blog the change came from — so any balance number or mechanic can be traced back to its source.
