Armoured Commander II · build 22301204 · published
This is a large update that's been tested for a while on the preview beta branch, adding hundreds of new units and adding a large number of units to the game's campaigns. These integrate some great work that was done on the Overhaul mod into the base game, but you can still download that mod which also adds a number of new campaigns using the new units.
Saved campaigns from previous versions are still compatible.
As always, please do reports bugs and crashes to the Steam discussion forum or to the Discord.
While this will be the last big content update for the game, there's still more work to do fixing and polishing things, including some updates to campaigns.
