-All buildings built from another building now say what building they are connected to in the details tab.

-Added new flag "Flying" which alllows a unit to move through enemy units

-Added new flag Paralyzer that applies a paralyzed debuff upon a tenacity fail by the creature the creature with the paralyzer flag is attacking

-Added wogansp and Wogansp lair

--The Honey Wogansp is a grotesque chimera of a serpent, worm and a wasp. A wasp or bee patterened creature. WIth a massive soft body, 6 long chitinous legs, massive wings, and a massive stinger and a long proboscis and an equally massive mouth with sharp serrated teeth. It is said they paralyze their victims, drag them into their lairs, dissolve the victim with their venom, and make a sweet liuid from the slop left over. Which they store in massive honeycombs.Not all variations of the Wogansp make use of this...liquid. Their bodies vary, though they all have paralyzing venom. Wogansp honey and comb are both prized for supposed medicinal uses.

--Their lair is massive

--They spawn rarely on ancient and middle ages worlds, and commonly on young worlds



-Make unit tooltip mention tile type for advanatge/disadvantage

-Made tooltips tell what type a building something is if it was named

-Fixed bug where some units wouldnt have tooltip

-Fixed bug where named units would be considered cities for random events. Which was just very silly.

-Fix exploit where upgrading will get you the next level of a tech on a unit that is upgraded and has a global tech applied before upgrade.

Hey guys, UL here!
Due to the fact that this week is Thanksgiving week and things are a bit busy this week for me, I will not be able to get out an update on Friday. So here is a small patch. I'll see you next week!

-Fixed a bunch of typos
-If a unit and building of opposing teams are occupying the same tile, the healthbar is now based on the unit, and the outline is now based on the building
-If an allied unit is on the same tile as an enemy building, you can now attack the tile and damage the building instead of being unable to attack at all


-Fixed bug where map gen screen assigned wrong sprite to buttons


-AI can no longer build phantoms on renovations scenario
-Doubled starting resources on renovations



Suggestion for testers

Did you know there is a whole wild forces setting that just fills the map with demonic turkeys? Try that.
Happy thanksgiving!
