Bugs and Issues

Fixes

• Greek Fortified Towers use the correct skin
• Delta graphics fixed for Ports and Shipyards (so flames, garrison flags, and snow appear in the correct place)
• Legionaries correctly no longer use the flaming pilum and have corrected stats for all civilizations

Known Issues

• Fishing Ships and Construction Ships share the same UI, making it appear like Fishing Ships can build sea defenses. Status: Unfixable due to modding constraints
• The AI cannot cope with most of the mod, unique techs and the naval overhaul being most obvious: Status: Unfixable until a skilled AI scripter is able to volunteer their services
• Needing to research an extra selection option before having access to a unique technology. Status: Potential solution known, but non-functional due to modding constraints
• Floating delta graphics (snow, fire, and garrison flags). Status: Fixable, but requires time, solution in development.
