This update went out yesterday, but there wasn't time to get this written up. No new content (should be coming next update) but lots of little improvements. We're also beginning work on Multiplayer improvements to add more options and rules for Multiplayer games.

Audio

Big chunk of new audio has gone in. Here is a short list:

• Siege Equipment Movement
• Ballista Firing
• Catapult Firing
• Ram ...er Ramming
• Cavalry Movement (old one was so bad, happy about this)

We'd love to hear your thoughts on the new Audio as it goes in.

Deployment Camera

On missions with multiple deployments, the camera would move to the average between the points when selecting a unit. This was...confusing. Now it selects the first deploy area, and you can press Tab to cycle between them. Additionally, it no longer resets the camera every time you select a unit to deploy.

Keybindings and Unit Actions

We've put in keybindings for ability actions, and display them on a slightly re-worked action panel (the bar on the right) for the selected unit. You can see the keybinding set on the abilities, and the cost has been moved to a little frame on the side.

Improved Tooltips

We've done a visual pass on the tooltips to make them more readable. They now also display information about a building a unit occupies beneath it. Previously this was not viewable without a unit moving away. Next up will be exposing more information to the tooltips.

Unit Type Icon

This was a commonly requested feature. The unit type is now displayed with an icon above the unit, including the quality of the unit. This is mirrored by the deployment symbols.

Graphics Options

We've added more graphics customisation options based on what we can expose from the engine. Additionally we've added a graphics preset option, as you'd expect from most games.
