I put a lot of effort into this one. I really like the new look of the battle screen, and along with the new time time controls it should really enhance your experience. Let me know what you think! I will continue to upgrade and refine the battle screen so that every battle is beautiful and unique, and I will continue to focus on QoL upgrades and bug fixes. As always, if you see a gamestopping bug, please try to get me a saved game for diagnosis. Thanks, and have fun. 1.5c change log:
