[h3]Changes[/h3]

• Real time multiplayer no more has a limit to the map/scenario you can play ! If a map is above the limit, the game will just cut it in bits and send each bit separately so that each bit of the map is smaller than the max size limit for files :) That means, that playing in real time on the map of Europe IS possible now !

• Units stats updates.
  

[h3]Added[/h3]

• Speedy AI option in the settings. So, this doesn’t really add anything new, but when this will be toggled ON all AI will be playing at maximum speed, and you will be able to still have your own move with the animations etc. But all AI players will be like if quick movement option was ON and slow AI was ON too.
