EXPERIMENTAL BUILD (0.3.14.0)
This is an update to the experimental opt-in build.
The primary change in this patch is the introduction of the faction standing system. This is an essential prerequisite to the continued rollout of the campaign. We've also added a number of Workbench nodes aimed at cleaning up spaghetti scripts.
Where can I get it?

Breaking Changes
Level designers...all factions are now neutral to one another, including the player (Human faction). So it’s likely very little combat will happen in your maps. You can quickly reinstate factional enemies using the LockFactionStanding node, setting the value to something like -100. e.g. Human v Undead.
