- AI will more aggressively respond to attacks on its base (even to its own detrminent, e.g. throwing units away)
- Mission 19: Leapfrog: Gold Objective: Changed from 15 minutes to 20 minutes to help compensate for the increased rocket turret damage vs. helicopters
- Adjustments to missions 8, 16, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, and 25 due to recent balance changes.

Changelog for Patch 0.73.607136 (added 09 May 2016):

More new stuff to play with!
We've added a couple co-op missions to the campaign and there's a new option to play all the co-op campaign missions on easy. Earning stars now works similarly for both co-op and single-player campaigns.
We also give you the option to change the amount of resources on a map, password protect your game lobbies, and let you build structures in your allies bases. (We're interested in seeing how this last one pans out.)
Thanks to everyone that helped in our beta testing of this patch and for the great suggestions. We'll have more beta testing opportunities in the future.
8Bit
