Update 1.05 changelog
Hi gents,
As you may know, we have decided to publish next week another update, as version 1.04 was a tad too harsh on some aspects, even on Balanced difficulty.
Plus a few bugs were spotted which were not making the game in a good enough shape for us.
Here is the running changelog of the adjustments and fixes we have made to the game, so you can see we are addressing the concerns you might have.
We have also thrown in a few enhancements for good measures
