As you asked for it:
This patch updates the Empires and Tribes combat system. By clicking on the button in the MainHud or using the shortcut "c" you can now access the revised combat menu in bird's eye view. Here you can now use the typical RTS commands to navigate your units. Troops can be selected by drag&drop and sent to new targets by right-clicking. You can also create armies using the "Ctrl "+"0"-"9" shortcuts and quickly select armies using the "0"-"9" shortcuts.
We have also revised the market cart system. In the storages you can now directly set which buildings should be operated by the market carts.
Furthermore we have uploaded a new map - "Fordshire". A lot of space to build, fight, expand... wait for you here.
