Warning : Tonight's update V.20 will break all earlier saves/custom maps.

I am making significant changes to heroes and unfortunately I can't make these changes without making big changes in my base code. If you absolutely can't lose your save/custom map for X reason, send me an MP, I will make case by case conversion. Sorry about that !

Update #019

- Added : Japan faction with 30 new units.
- Added : Now displays in the store when planes can be used with carriers.
- Added : 1 new unit for Great-Britain, the Supermarine Seafire, carrier-based plane fighter.
- Change : Only carrier-based planes are allowed to be spawned or resupplied at a friendly aircraft carrier.
- Fix : When having a boat selected, it could target friendly transport ship.

Update #018

- Added : Can resupply ships only next to an harbour tile.
- Added : Aircraft carriers, they basically act as floating airports, you can deploy or resupply any plane around one.
- Added : Italian transport ship (forgot).
- Added : 10 new ships for all factions except Poland and Germany (Germany already had all of them).
- Change : Ships look bigger.
- Fix : Submarines could attack ground units such as infantry.
- Fix : Plane were spawning with a transport ship texture when on sea tile.

Update #017

- Added : 12 new units. 6 are Sappers/engineers for all faction (except Germany which already had them) and 5 new battleships for all factions that did not have one before (all except Poland and Germany). And paratroopers for Great Britain.
- Added : Paratroopers + sappers/engineers + harbours and transport ships in the help section.
- Fix : Unit cannot attack when they have 0 MP.

Update #016

- Added : Boats ! I only made 3 german boats for now, so nothing big, I made a battleship : the Gneisenau, a light cruiser : the Emden, and an U-Boot : U-Boot VIIC.
- Added : 1 new tile : Harbour ! That's from them you can launch your invasion, or spawn the boats you bought in the store.
- Added : Landings. Your ground unit needs to be in a harbour, then the "Embark/disembark" button will appear. When clicking on it, your unit will turn into a transport ship and will now be able to navigate on the sea tiles. You can land wherever you want.
- Added : One new achievement "Wolfpack", sink any boat using a U-Boot.
- Fix : Resupply not restoring HP after the previous changes I made to how the resupply system works.
