BOOM - colored paths are in!
(how could we forget about those?! But you definitely made sure we remember, hence some hundreds emails on the topic)
Regarding paths, we also added many quality-of-planning options, like being able to switch the current selection using TAB, improving visibility on the currently selected path and a big revamp on the visual side, making complex plans look a lot less cluttered.
We're still not done with it, so expect more improvements on this front.
The customization screen got many improvements as well:
- portrait & name customization
- copy/paste loadouts
- class icons were added to make sure you don't mix your troops up anymore
Two new maps...
