Now they do not repeat. 4. Easter egg bug. We won't say you what is it :D 5. Interface issues. 6. Aggressive move. We toggled RMB and RMB+Ctrl. Now you have to press just RMB to order move aggressive. If you want make them ignore enemies, just press RMB+Ctrl. We think it helps you to control units easier. 7. Ship's ramp bug (when there were two ramps instead one). 8. Units AI on ships. Now enemies do not check balance of power when they are aboard. So, they won't try to go away from melee battle before its start. 9. Barrles and boxes collisions on ship. Thank you!
