MENACE Patch #6 - Fixed AI, New Barks, Fixes, ..

[p]Hi all,[/p][p]Today’s patch continues to iron out the AI issues, particularly for how it reacts to undetected allied units. Another work in progress is finally seeing the light of day: SL Tech can now properly lift heavy weaponry, just as God and dense muscle tissue intended. The pirates are also getting ‘touched’ as their hierarchy better articulates itself with the arrival of some Boarding Commando barks. These changes and more can be read about below, and as always, thank you all for your great support and feedback! (P.S.: We will publish the roadmap very soon! Sorry for the delay.)[/p][p][/p][p]Note: This update is save game compatible with your ongoing campaigns.[/p][p][/p][h3]Changelog[/h3][hr][/hr][h3]v0.6.9
