Haven't tried full games against human opponents with these changes but vs ai and some human I really like these changes! good job and thanks Alvaro

I agree. A big thank you to Alvaro and the testers - well done!

Welcome. I try to fix everything. It is my 1st two games so the code isn't the easiest to work with. My 2nd engine is much easier.

So far in 7 months I got more done than in the first 3 years of making the 1st engine.

Thank you Alvaro. I'm very excited for the next game.

I am very motivated for my fantasy strategy game and WP2.

The Fantasy strategy is uses WP2 engine. I am making it to knock out all the kinks. WP2 will be very complex under the hood so I want a solid tested foundation so I can focus on the WW2 portion of WP2. All I can say is that it will not play like the common fantasy strategy games out there.

I hope your fantasy game will have random maps...

I'm pleased with how the first two games are going. I expect great things!
