IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Please note saved games are not compatible.

WARNING TO ALL MODDERS:

Since v1.04 and the v1.04 editor have so many changes to them they are not compatible with previously modded scenarios. If you have any old custom made scenarios then you need to delete them from your data/scenario folder else game will try to read them and fail (crash on startup before main menu). If we can avoid this kind of problem in future we will as we don't want to ruin any of your hard work!
