Warlordocracy v3.1 to v4.0B

[p]Did another 10 patches for Warlordocracy, officially wrapping up the to-do list for the 5 chapters of the main story. Now I can finally start on Ch.6 (set 25 years later).[/p][p][/p][p]Steam: [dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p]Most recently I added another 6 spells, as well as pretty icons for all 72 spells in total. Other highlights include giving a slight delay to bombs and artillery and showing a targeting reticule on the tile, giving time for the player to change course. Explosions now knock people backwards.[/p][p]Also added new party AI options, new party dialogue and quests, and fixed a shit ton of bugs.
