Experimental Branch v0.9.8

[h3]Gameplay[/h3]

• Neutral Buildings no longer spawn over the forest tiles
  
• Changes to ORX targeting to no longer prioritize targets based on tags
  
• Changes to ORX Curses — the deck no longer grows with mission rewards, removed the corruption from the cards. All existing Curses were distributed between the Commanders
  
• ORX Commanders rework — instead of passive effects, ORX Commanders now have their own deck which they’ll play against you. Commander cards grow in strength the more corruption you have. Commanders physically appear only during the last wave.
  
• Royal Advisers framework — first iteration (and a heavy WIP) of Advisers system. This system is designed to enhance some of the playstyles with new cards given to you by the chosen Advisor. You will be presented with a choice to select your Advisor before you start the 2nd mission of Act 1.
