New features include:
- Pre-battle option selection
- Bug fixes / stability improvements
You now have the option to customize your battles! As this is just a first pass, you can expect to see more options in the future.
Pre-battle Option Selection

At the moment, pre-battle options include terrain layout, battle stage, and turn-timer. When playing in a PvP match, both players will need to choose the same option in order for it to take effect; otherwise, the default setting will be used.
We hope to implement more options in the future! Let us know what youd want us to put in!
