MENACE Patch #5 - Optional Squadleader Heads, Improvements and Fixes

[p]Hi all,[/p][p]In today's patch we continue to work on improvements and fixes to iron out the most reported issues and get the game in a stable state while we develop the first big content patch. [/p][p]Most notably, we added a feature to turn off the unique squad leader heads in today's patch. This was requested by many players and can be toggled in the options now.[/p][p]Of course there will be a proper dev diary once we are close enough to publishing the first big content patch to let you know about all the ins and outs. [/p][p]Thank you all for your great support and feedback![/p][p] [/p][p]Note: This update is save game compatible with your ongoing campaigns.[/p][p] [/p][h3]Changelog[/h3][hr][/hr][h3]v0.6.8
