• Added a clear Exit Game control and removed the old introductory videos for a more direct route to the main menu. Map and units • Sharpened yellow unit highlights while keeping their existing appearance and animation. • Improved unit placement on uneven ground. Individual soldiers now follow terrain height while remaining upright, and vehicles align with the surface. • Improved contact-shadow placement beneath units. • Fixed tactical outlines and movement arrows intersecting the terrain on slopes and ridges. • Corrected opening camera positioning so stale settings no longer override the intended scenario view. Gameplay and reliability • Reduced unnecessary waits during AI turns and combat presentation. • Corrected AI campaign reinforcement spending and unit-strength limits. • Fixed turn-progression errors and cases where long AI turns could end prematurely despite still making progress. • Improved movement pathfinding and consistency between gameplay systems. • Improved save/load error handling, including clearer feedback when a save cannot be written or a selected file is unavailable. • Added safer save-file writing and checks that reject damaged saves before loading them. If you encounter any issues, please let us know and we'll work to get them fixed.
