addedOne last feature before I focus entirely on optimization and AI improvements. Following on from the last update in which I added Workshop support, you can now upload and download localization files using the Workshop API in the Settings screen. Whatever localization file you currently have loaded in can be uploaded directly.
removedOther than that, I've made a few AI improvements. The main reason for the quick turnaround this time is because I inadvertently disabled counter-battery fire and sight checks over open ground for testing purposes prior to the last update and forgot to re-enable it all. So a fairly significant part of the enemy AI wasn't working properly. Hopefully this game restores some of the challenge.
addedCan now upload and download localization files in the settings screen, accessible from the title screen. Downloaded localization files appear in your user folder (same location as your save games), under the folder "Localization".
changedArtillery and flamethrowers now do less damage to terrain.
fixedFixed enemy sight checks over open ground.
addedAdded counter-battery fire for stationary units that are attacking.

Bugfixes/Changes:
Can now upload and download localization files in the settings screen, accessible from the title screen. Downloaded localization files appear in your user folder (same location as your save games), under the folder "Localization".
Artillery and flamethrowers now do less damage to terrain.
Fixed enemy sight checks over open ground.
Added counter-battery fire for stationary units that are attacking.
Removed front-line buffer for artillery batteries bombarding an area using the buttons at the top of the screen. There are safeguards for preventing artillery from moving forward too far when attacking. Using the buttons at the top of the screen overrides these safeguards.
