FIXES

  • Playing a PBEM game/turn before using the random scenario generator or the scenario editor would lead to PBEM data leaking into the newly generated scenario and making it impossible to edit it in the scenario editor because it was considered a PBEM game.

  • Unit purchase limit shown in store was displayed beneath the unit representation image and could be hidden by it if the unit image was large enough to cover it.

  • Upkeep value calculated was wrong for tanks/artillery units in transport ships/planes (they counted as ships and used ship upkeep value instead of their own).

  • Adding/removing a loadout on a unit through the upgrade/downgrade menu could be used to get free supplies (an upgrade/downgrade action reset the ammo/fuel amount on the unit free of charge).

  • AA units attacking nearby land units were not triggering artillery supportive fire.

  • Simplified Chinese characters were broken in the font asset.
