• Fixed dyslexic font rendering.
• Added the Cyrillic letter to the game, which was missing for some weird reason.
• Updated German translations.
• Aerial dragoons and other boarding troops now return to the ship that launched them if their target ship goes missing.
• Bees and wasps will now find a new target to invade if the old target goes missing.
• Fixed pathing issue that caused boarding crew to go back and forth endlessly.
• Fixed issues with bonuses not being applied when building ships, for starting ships, and for ships in single player combat setup.
• Rebalanced proportion of monster nest types.

My hand's pretty much healed now. :) (And 1.0.21.13 fixes a bug with airplane AI that 1.0.21.12 introduced.)

Design steampunk pixel airships out of functional modules and conquer the skies!

In the game, ships are viewed side-on, and their modules are operated by individual crew members. During combat, players give high-level commands to a small fleet, positioning their ships, ramming and boarding others. Ships and terrain are fully destructible: they can catch fire, explode, break apart, and fall. Players can also compete against one another in Internet and LAN matches.

The ships are highly detailed, teeming with sailors moving around at their individual tasks, like an ant farm or a cut-away drawing. The player's choices in ship layout are crucial, and an important part of the game is exploring the design space of different airships and their matching tactics.
