Hello guys, the crowning jewel of todays update is the battle prep overhaul, it's not the most major change but it marks the first significant changes to the battle preparation part of the game for a long time, answering some long time complaints about sending troops to battle and also adding lots of functionality to your generals and a new purpose to them being trained and higher skilled.
**BATTLE PREPARATION OVERHAUL**
Warsims battle preparation system has been untouched for a long long time, years and years with no further development, it was one of the earliest parts of the game and it hasn't aged well, we've had generals in the game for a fairly long time too and they don't seem to be good for all that much, this update makes a start on fixing both of those problems.
* Made general's pre battle graphics uniform in their layout
* Added general offers you choice pre battle of troop assignments
* Added generals with 100+ skill can offer 2 extra options
* Added generals with 150+ skill can offer 2 extra options
* Added if no general then default troop system
* Added ability to type again if you overtype the number of troops (credit u/yetiroadburger)
**NEW RACE MODIFIERS**
Although the effects of these races aren't new, they have been slightly modified offering some further variation of actually functional race modifiers.
* Added new race suffix 'Thoughtless' (stupid race)
* Added new race suffix 'Sightless' (eyeless race with lower stats than eyeless)
* Added new race suffix 'Baby' (young face and low stat race)
**NEW FACTION NAME PARTS**
Another batch of names for the faction name generation system, I attempted some additional reworking of the faction name system but it failed my tests and didn't do what was intended so I had to roll it back, will revisit it soon though.
* Added new faction name part 'Imbrued'
* Added new faction name part 'Maroon'
* Added new faction name part 'Rouge'
* Added new faction name part 'Rose'
* Added new faction name part 'Rose-Gold'
