We are very pleased to announce that the core element of island capture and control has been implement. This now allows for capturing and control of island under player and assigning island edge color for islands per player...

Also we have further re-implemented resource system the following now work.

1. Resource collectors will now gather resources correctly from mana pools
2. Resource collectors will now drop resources off at nearest drop off point be it Temple or Shrine.
3. Mana Pool resource amount bar over mana pool now shows reduction of resource and amount left.

SunBarricade
Sun barricade for the sun faction now work..

1. Sun Barricade will now generate a beam between two barricades when placed.
2. Friendly units placed under the beam of the sun barricade are now immune from incoming fire.

We have further fixed air units so that air units no longer continue to attack platforms once enemy on floating platform is destroyed and it now also removes the old platform.

2. Temple and power system for power requirements for units.
