The update is live on Switch. And … yeah, the enemy team receiving Faction Hoard bonuses same as you definitely makes the Tuesday Faction Assault take MUCH longer than normal (fortunately in this case, I needed only one more battle to finish the event rewards).

Also, is that a [musical change](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/reported-what-is-this-alternative-map-music/79551) I hear when starting the game?
