  • Reflecting bishops didn't die with the atomic badge active, if they made a reflecting take (they now do)

  • Units that usually originate from badges (such as the vampire), but are not attached to a badge (i.e. they were cloned by another badge), now correctly show that they can be sold

  • Added a check to ensure the resolution saved in the settings is still available (The monitor used may have changed for example, which could lead to issues)

  • The game now runs in the background. There were previously issues where alt-tabbing while your opponent was making a move could lead to the AI hanging

  • Complicated boards should now find a move after 6.5 seconds (if there is a move already found and it's good). If this leads to bad moves being made in these scenarios please let me know on discord.
