Two new items are in the game. Since it wouldn't be very fun if I just told you what they do I'll instead show you the text that's displayed when you use them.

The potion: "you click your heels as you down the potion"
The scroll: "you are overcome with gold madness!"

I've gotten a few requests for mods, so that's something I've been looking into and I think I've had a breakthrough. I started working on this game in Godot 3.2 and eventually upgraded to 3.5 later on. But I think somewhere along the way something behind the scenes was changed and try as I might I couldn't get mods to load properly.
I think I have finally figured out the issue though so expect an update and a tutorial video explaining the process in the coming week.

If you have any issues, please let me know.

- Fixed units walking back and forth when attacking buildings or other units
- Added another potential fix for finish game not broadcasting to Discord sometimes

So its been a while huh? Im sure a lot of our eager fans are curious on what we've been doing over the last few months so I'll run you through some new details now...

At the moment we are working to complete 1.2 in its entirety over the next few weeks.

• Better Camp assets/designs in general
  
• Implement Ambient Civilians that you can assume ownership over to fix the drought of units you can shelter in civilian holds. Our goal is to get to the level of PROTOTYPE 2/PROTOTYPE 1 level of immersion in the city.
  
• Introduce Dynamic Civilian camps that can multiply and increase the amount that can generate per zone . We are going to limit this on a per zone basis.
  
• Introduce Civilian Strongholds where if a Civilian group gets to a certain level of expansion they will erect larger prebuilt bases. There can only be 1 stronghold per zone. We expect 40% of Civilian groups to reach this point of technology and expect the other 60% to die before they get to this point.
  
• Introduce simulated trading/diplomacy between civilian groups.
  
• We will be adding a currency for civilian groups called "Supply" Which they will use as a currency for you to convert CERC cash to "buy" goodwill with a civilian group
  
• This supply will determine how quickly they build more camps and strongholds only at the moment. It could also lead into how well armed/armored they are. But we are still on the fence about this.
  
• Cleanup/Bug fix any remaining issues with civilian evacuations
  
• Introduce Boat Evacuations in preparation for San Fran North's eventual addition. Basically you can build a boat house that will ferry units to your carrier. Only will be placeable where prebuilt docks in the level already exists.
  
• You will be able to trade "Supply" to attempt to bring factions back to good faith like the Civilian groups. Likely we will add a cap that if you keep betraying them they will accept your supply but refuse to ally with you regardless.
  
• Introduce Waystations for evacuations zones where civilians that are waiting for a helicopter can "wait" to reduce the clutter that can occur with them overlapping sometimes these will be entirely optional but allow you to setup "waiting zones" for security reasons.
  
• Implement Green, Yellow and Red zone logic where infected and civilians can battle and "simulate" daily life. Kinda like this video linked below
  
• Modernize the Top left UI elements so they are more appealing to look at like ROE

Green, Yellow, Red zone reference video

Our goal is to have started 1.3 by the beginning of May and disable and work on 1 faction at a time till they are all functional. I.E The Police Faction (Pierce) & and Anarchist(Natalie)

1. Pierce will start with Officers and Swat across the map and Operate from a few central Police Stations.
   
2. As they fail to contain the infection he will eventually lose a huge portion of his officers and fall back to 1 central Police station to run his operations from.
   
3. They will have 4 Unit types (Patrol Officer, Swat, Swat Sniper and Firemen/Medic.
   
4. Firemen/Medics will operate ambulances early game to help heal help/everyone in the field
   
5. Firemen/Medics will eventually transition around the mid game mark to discontinue usage of their ambulances and be militarized to work directly with the police faction in their attack units/defense teams. They will essentially become their combat medic.
   
6. At mid game Pierce will start to vassalize civilian groups and start forming alliances with everyone but Raiders. His attitude towards you will mirror how your treating civilians and his men in the field.
   
7. You will be able to trade "Supply" to attempt to bring factions back to good faith like the Civilian groups. Likely we will add a cap that if you keep betraying them they will accept your supply but refuse to ally with you regardless.
   
8. They will ambush your vehicles kill your drivers and turn them into supply at their bases if your an enemy of them
   
9. They will have 4 vehicle types. (Police Copter, Patrol Vehicle, APC and JLTV police variant)

1. Anarchist will have a staggered start and only form sometime after day 2-3 of the virus.
   
2. Anarchist will be "undercover" and you will not be able to easily determine who is a member of this faction unless you track back ambushes/catch them in the act attacking another party or you.
   
3. They will ambush your vehicles kill your drivers and turn them into supply at their bases if your an enemy of them
   
4. Anarchist will be the lowest population group and show their strength through ambushes and stealth
   
5. They will have 3 vehicle types. (Hijacked News Chopper, Technical and Battle bus)

1. Winters will gain the ability to buff units around her in terms of increasing the amount of XP they recieve from actions
   
2. Pierce will get a defensive boast to units around him
   
3. Natalie will get a stealth boast to units around her

• Our Water Shader will be reworked entirely see video at bottom
  
• Vehicles and their AI will be rewritten completely (We are waiting for this feature to leave beta)
  
• Buoyancy will be introduced for objects on water
  
• Aircraft carrier will be turned into a mobile unit you can produce units from, repair and refuel
  
• Aircraft carrier will turn into a unit you can move and can be attacked/docked at various locations to help stage larger attacks
  
• Bounty System will be redone entirely to make it mirror closer to Red Dead 2's approach. They will be a system where special infected with abilities are hidden across the map dynamically being selected that you can send in elite teams to kill them to gain money to recover from a huge lost recently.
  
• World Events will be introduced like mini missions CERC or other people can give you so you can gain money/supply or favor. More details will be revealed in the future for this.
  
• Chaos Destruction will be implemented to a reasonable amount to bring the game at least to the level of Company of Heroes.
  
• Improvements to Night/Day system to make it use the newer Night Day system built into Unreal Engine now.
  
• Infection System revamp. Gas towers will become deadly again and Gas masks will be a thing.
  
• DNA research tree will be added

The Campaign will be tackled in 2024 for the entire year.

This update introduces 4 new projectile-based modules with new attack types. 2 Directional aiming modules to be carefully positioned for maximum value and 2 targeted aiming modules perfect to be positioned in the front module slot of your ship!

• Launches a piercing saw blade that returns to the ship
  
• Upgrade to increase damage, size, range, fire triple shot or 4 sawmerangs around the ship, & more!
  
• strong in the mid-late game with good crowd clearing damage and surprise escapability with the omni-directional blades upgrade

• Launches a saw blade that bounces between enemies
  
• Upgrade to increase the number of bounces, shot speed, range, damage, & more!
  
• Strong in the early-mid game with the ability to easily clear out small groups of enemies especially when closely grouped

• Fires a single high damage shot that earns double EXP on kill
  
• Upgrade to increase damage & size, chance to earn triple EXP, fire an additional shot, & more!
  
• Strong in the early-mid game. While not providing much offensively, the additional EXP can escalate your build reaching its true potential at the cost of a module slot. Also, once upgraded to fire double shots it has sufficient damage to eliminate most enemies with both, or two weaker ones with each. The Golden Gun can also be used on bosses.

• Launches a ball of scrap that splits into a shotgun blast mid-air
  
• Upgrade to increase damage, fire rate, the number of split scrap, accuracy, & more!
  
• Strong through the whole game when positioned to make use of it's shotgun blast. Make sure you keep sufficient distance from enemies or strategically position to kill a weaker enemy with the scrap ball so it splits to hit the enemies behind. The ball only doesn't split when it hits an enemy that doesn't die
