V1.6.4.1 - May Frontier

Hi everyone!

[h2]May Frontier[/h2]
A new month means a new frontier! This month's frontier brings a new twist - all mines only require Level 1 Energy and there are natural resources everywhere. Plan your strategy and build that large monument as fast as you can!

[h2]Featured Workshop Maps[/h2]
Here are this month's five great Steam Workshop maps that you can also find in-game under Custom Maps - a mix of old and new, peaceful and military. We'll feature five more next month!

[h2]Steam Workshop Embeddable Mods[/h2]
When creating custom maps you can now embed mods as well as linking to existing Workshop ones, so it's now a whole bunch easier to create maps with your own custom settings and content!
