User Content
New button on the Campaign screen allows you to download content directly from our servers, and play instantly. We'll be harvesting all the best user content and making it available through this system. The initial missions include custom units, art, and scripting - all from the community!

Editor
The plugin system allows for graphical interfaces for common scripting tasks. The first plugins we have built allow for fast and simple Victory Point setups, and also a Random Enemy plugin which will purchase random units for each AI team based on the points each team is given. Also a quick and easy way to edge the water. Hit the new Plugins button on the editor panel to get started.

Bonuses
Resupply your troops with ammo and charges, or Rally their morale so they will hold the line.

New Script Commands
New script commands give even more access to the game for enhanced modding. Plus - globals can now be accessed using indexes, and there is a 256 entry temporary array which can be used inside a function for processing data. New commands listed below, more details in the autodocs!

Fixes
+ Added briefings to multiplayer and skirmish missions to help new players.
+ SFX fixes on many units.
+ Fixes to non-localised text
+ Added warnings to explain what could cause a miss to happen verses armour (movement, small target, etc).
+ Script array commands, ClearArray, SetArray, GetArray.
+ Script commands: GetSideID, RemoveTile, IsUnitFixed, GetUnitCost.
