– Added a balanced four player map.
• ‘Cavalry and Cannonades’ Scenario Added
– Combat scenario with reduced unit maintenance costs and no strategic resource requirement for units.
– Larger starting army and additional starting techs.
– Time limit: 50 turns.
– Goal: Possess the largest territory.
• DX12 Support
