invisible desert burrowers?

I've been playing and loving the game for a few days now, and I'm generally quite happy with it. I can't wait to see how it improves throughout the beta. I'm not very far (only civ level 6) but I can see myself putting far too many hours into it, like I have with AI war.

The latest update seems to have turned desert burrowers invisible. I used to be able to see a plume of dust above them so I could attack or avoid them. Now, I just see my health bar decrease. They can still be attacked and destroyed, just not seen. Is this intentional, or a bug?

Thanks for continuing to develop unique and entertaining games. I hope you all are around for a good long while.

It's a bug.  The devs simply forgot to update the desert burrowers to the new particle system.

It's a bug, but it's already been fixed for tonight's release. Sorry about that!

That part's not actually true.  I updated it into the new particle system, tested it, and it worked great.  Then I added the death animations for enemies, tested skelebots, and released.  Meanwhile, the death animations were causing the desert burrowers and decoy fireworks to go invisible.
