• Implemented proper ballistic calculations for the artillery strike.

• Removed some of the rougher AI art, touched up others, and added new pieces.

• Added new stock art to the loading screens and new sprites to the UI.

• Fixed multiple SFX issues.

Performance & Code:

• Significantly reduced the performance cost of damage calculation and target finding.

• Updated the save system to accommodate future content.
