addedVersion 7.19 introduces a new element to the gameplay, which is that of extended movement range for units. I am sure you have seen this in other games of the tactical genre, it allows unit to walk a few extra steps at the cost of not being able to perform an action for the turn. It's useful in situations where you want to quickly close the distance from the enemy, run away or block certain positions with your unit.
changedThe other major change in this version is a redesign of the damage preview. It now shows damage and hit chance more clearly and it also shows HP and MP bars with a visual preview of the change.
addedI spent quite some time to improve controls and the overall player experience. If you play the game with mouse you will be happy to hear you can now move the map by holding the right button. Also the arrows to select the facing direction have been removed. You do that by clicking on the map, same with rotational skills. If you play with the gamepad, the analog controls are a little better, but I still recommend playing with the directional keys.
addedMap scrolling with mouse added.
addedExtended walk range added.
addedConfirm and info window added before campaign battles.
