New content/features
-
Added a new “Retryable Campaign Missions” option:
- Failed campaign missions can be retried BUT the map and enemies will be regenerated
- The associated reward is lost unless you restart the chapter
- You can also take an alternative route if the mission tree of the current chapter allows it
- Your character injuries/death won’t be saved when you fail a campaign mission, so that you can try again under the same conditions
- The option will be enable by default on the new squads (or if you play the game for the first time)
- The option will be disable for the 1.0 existing squads but you can change it in your squad options
- Added the character numbers (matching keyboard shortcut)
Improvements

Changed the way game modes are unlocked:
- Skirmish missions are now split into 4 groups (3 groups of 3 missions and 1 group of 2)
- Completing the tutorial unlocks the first group of skirmish missions for each factions
- The 1st group of skirmishes unlocks the campaign and the next group of skirmishes
- The 2nd group unlocks the custom missions and the next group of skirmishes
- The 3rd group unlocks the challenges and the next group of skirmishes
- The 4th group unlocks the mission generator
- The campaign chapters now just unlock the next chapter or the survival mode
- You shouldn’t lose access to any of the modes you’ve already unlocked (please let me know if it’s not the case)
- Made the enemy threat level of the skirmish missions more progressive
- Reduced the max range of all weapons (doesn’t change the optimal range or max accuracy)
