Fixes
Fixed an issue keeping the Life V icon from showing up
Fixed an issue keeping pikes from upgraded to lightning pikes
Fixed an issue keeping longswords from upgrading to boreal blades
Fixed bow upgrades
Fixed an issue with chainmail gloves issue that was cuasing them to recolor with cloth color 2 instead of metal color
Fixed an issue with the chainmail hood that was keeping it from being recolorable
Lots of fixed stamps from Parrottmath
Lots of updated tactical battles (blocked tiles set)
Fixed bug where part of the improvement loading process didn’t get told it was loading a game, which could cause modifiers to get reapplied when they shouldn’t be
Fixed bug where you could get repeat recruited champions after loading a game
Fixed an issue where if you had an army led by a champ that was not the sov, and he died in battle, but the rest of your army won the battle. When this happened the entire army would be transported back to a city and immobilized rather than just have the champ that fell in battle be injured and stay with the army on the map
If a unit is standing on a city at the end of its turn, and it doesn’t have a destination set to leave at the start of the next turn, it will auto station that unit in the city
Roads will now not pass through wildlands. When a wildland is cleared, each city reevaluates its connections with other cities and has another chance to build a road if applicable
Fixed yields on captured Deorcnysse
Fixed a clipping issue on cliff corners
Fixed an issue allowing caravans to be killed even if you have the legacy of serrane
Fixed an issue with the Produce Mana project
Lots of fixed tactical maps
Fixed an issue keeping some traits form being applied after a game was reloaded (most notable with the Veteran and Experienced traits)

Fixed an issue with guarded strike not proving its defense bonus

Previously we hid units in the train window if you didnt have any of the materials needed to train them (but they were greyed out if oyu had at least 1). Now we display them greyed out all the time. This caused issues where oyu would unlock mages or juggernauts but not see them because you didnt have any crystal or metal.
Now all the goodie huts you get tresure form have treasure chests in them (color based on how valuable they are)
