Demo Hotfix - July 22 - Improved pathfinding and new unit images

This hotfix fixes some pathfinding issues. For some reason, mercs were thinking the straightest path to a tile three steps forward was to zig zag there. That is fixed, along with similar issues with pushing mechanics.

  • Abilities should all show the exact stats they impact and by how much. Some, like Battle Cry, were vague

  • Added equipment tier to the items equipped

  • Cleaned up the Unit Picker screen and added ability to filter based on the race Fixes

  • Path finding, including your own on the world map, now prefers a straight line vs zig zag

  • Pushing enemies will push them straight back and not at an angle

  • Fix look of image pack in settings menu

  • Fix abilities sometimes saying [Ability Param Mod]

  • On the World Map immediately removing buttons in the right hand panel after a POI or enemy base is cleared Graphics
