Patch 3.0.2

Patch 3.0.2 was officially released on 14th September 2015

Developer's Introduction
3.0.2 is out out of beta and now available in the main branch. Extra thanks to everyone who sent in feedback and bug reports during the beta!

The new update should be compatible with saved games created in earlier versions, but there have been a lot of changes so if you do encounter difficulties please let us know and we will try to address them as quickly as possible so that you don't lose any progress. Problematic saved games can always be sent to rob@longbowgames.com and if you're really having trouble, 3.0.1 is still available in the "lastrelease" branch accessible through the game's properties page.

While 3.0.2 was in beta, we've been busy working on new changes for 3.0.3 including engine upgrades to support a longer view range on the 3D map, improved graphics and audio detail in the 32 bit version, new scenario options, and more than a dozen new events. We hope to have a new beta available within the week.

Thanks again for everyone's support of the series and we hope you enjoy the game!
