Steam is not letting me upload images on my changelog right now so i'll use my website to host the images in the changelog tonight and this one wont get a unique header and such because steam is being terrible. Blame steam, not me. Hopefully they will fix it. (Edit: it was fixed the next day) Also reddit is just trolling me for posting the bug there. And I ended up deleting the post, but here is the link for no reason at all *wink* https://www.reddit.com/r/Steam/comments/w0710y/i_am_a_steam_partner_and_steam_is_preventing_from/ Anyway... A massive changelog today, lets go.

Gameplay and UI

-Added new building the "Mine". --Mines can now be built by kingdoms for the low low price of 20 gold and 1 iron. --Mines have a unique icon on the map of a pickaxe --Mines have a cool unit image
--Mines also have a unique flag that makes them spawn facing different directions like treasure --Mines also have a unique flag "Holding" that allows kingdoms to capture them, and the rest of the many factions to destroy them --Mines are disabled on the Lawlessness and Renovations scenarios for balance and to add challenge
-Removed ability to deploy buildings on other (detected)buildings -Removed ability to deploy units on other (detected) units -Made archers show arrow icon on map -Made units with "pikes" flag display pike icon on map -Made cavalry display horse icon on map --All cavalry get a hard counter bonus against archers and all units with pikes get a hard counter bonus against horses and all archers get a hard counter against MOST melee units, so keep that in mind when playing -Added hell goat unit image
-Added saber toothed bear unit image
-Major change to how deployment works: --If a deploy is queued up on a given tile you can no longer deploy anything new there until recruitment/building is finished, and even then buildings can only be built on tiles with no buildings and units can only be build on tiles with no units, for buildings/units with no deploy range things can be queued up as much as you want. This was to make base building more strategic and less exploitable
