Craft Changes, Tab Highlighting, and More


I have just released a new version of Catastrophe X with a variety of improvements and fixes.

First off, I have made a number of changes to existing crafts in an attempt to improve balance and make some of the previously useless crafts more viable. Looking forward, I will be focusing more on creating new crafts.

- Arrow damage has been increased from 1 to 3 and deployment cost has been reduced from 5 to 4 red.
- Spitfire deployment cost has been increased from 3 grey to 6 grey.
- Falconcrafts have been reduced from 3 damage to 2, but now hit 3 tiles instead of 1 (see image below).


With today's release, you will also find that the navigation tabs at the top of the game highlight when there is activity on a hidden screen. This will help you monitor a number of screens without constantly switching back and forth.

I have also made a number of other fixes and improvements:

- I believe that I have fixed the "selection bug" (where nothing pops up when clicking on the battle map). If you still experience this problem please PM me.
- I can now deploy a new version of the game without disconnecting players on the old server (which would, for example, discard changes to any detachments being edited).
- There is no more error message when you press Done twice in battle.
- Private messages are now sent when you press the enter key.
- Fixed the host recognition bug in battles so that hosts can now silence players and observers.

More soon!
