Zero-K - Cold Take #40 - The Retreat Range Bonus - Steam News
The retreat range bonus was a quirk of game physics that started causing problems six years ago. Removing it would break some basic rules of Zero-K, but something had to be done.

Zero-K went wild with state toggles before realising that issuing commands is more fun than fiddling with toggles. At least we learned how and why to avoid state toggles.

Stuns add a whole dimension of strategy by letting players disable units without killing them. But leaving units alive creates a host of unit AI issues that needed to be solved.
