A suite of improvements thanks as always to Badger!
The name of this update is actually a reference to a Normal Rockwell painting by the same name. The kid holding his dad's hand in that particular painting is actually my uncle!
Main Game Updates
- Previously the game was assuming that multiple-shots-per-salvo ships only ever shoot 1 shot per salvo when calculating the ship's Strength. This meant that these ships were be consistently underrated in strength. Instead, we now allow the game to assume multiple hits are possible. There's a little math done also to make sure that small ships with a lot of shots per salvo don't suddenly have very high strength numbers (since the ships die quickly).
- Fix some problems in the "How To Play" in-game documentation.
- The Fleet overview for a necromancer fleet will now tell you how many units have been killed by the various ship lines (when holding Ctl to see detailed tooltips). This count resets on game load. The goal is to give a necromancer player some additional insight into how their units are performing.
- Fix a bug where the DZ Svikari didn't have an Overall Power Level.
Forge Of Empires (Formerly Known As Sidekicks)
- Tweak some of the journal entries for Forge of Empires to improve new user experience.
