+ svg display further improved
+ added river world map layer on top, color and stroke set.
+ added lake world map layer on top, color and fill set.
- both river and lake svgs are not interactable purely visual svgs
+ entire world map display functions shifted completely from image focused, zoom-fixed, nearly static display, to a fully zoomable and dynamic svg-focused display (vid)
- provinces not yet assigned a name will are not displayed
+ provinces selected will automatically focus, move and zoom to the newly selected province
+ province names ported into the game. These English province display names replace the province codes in the UI
+ provinces that crosses the east/west edge of the svg sewn together, mainly Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, but some other minor ones
+ fixed some, but not all provinces that do not display properly. This is usually caused by svg path overlap.
+ added new fog effects
+ Continuing to assign and generate specific maps to specific provinces
- Holy shit I really need to get back to assets

+ the world map can now detect if a grid square is empty ocean or not
- lots of detection errors for now that needs to be fixed
+ feature to add generic maps added
+ generic map tiles will have their corresponding info appear in the pop-up window if there is information available
+ generic maps for the sea is used for detected sea tiles
- this will likely be hidden in the short term since players can engage in sea battles right now
+ svg errors on the world map for current provinces all fixed
+ fixed lots of world map and svg related bugs
+ generated another row of maps
- since this weeks update isn't very visible, here's some flags we had pixelated from a few weeks back
- lots were automated, but many needed to be simplified and fixed by hand

+ Added a 'reset to default' option for the controls menu
+ Added a capture cursor for capturing nodes
+ Flag capture animations and functions complete (vid)
+ Flag captures faster if more basic infantry is capturing the node.
- Its currently set to 1 infantry captures 1 percent per second
+ Data editor bug fixed
+ Fixed a bug where missile trooper missiles drop to the ground when force attacking the ground
+ Adding auto attack functions, which is for armed units with valid targets
+ Adding auto retreat functions, which are valid for units that can't retaliate
+ Exploring using a quad tree to lay out the navigation grid, made a demo trying out the tech.
- If we greenlight adding quad trees, max map size will increase from the current 500 x 500, to 2^31 x 2^31, and absolutely ungodly size.
- The current map size limits affects gameplay because built out bases basically bump into each other.
- The map size limit is also makes map to world scale different enough that directly importing city roads and structures is difficult.

+ Auto attack and auto retreat functions added (vid)
+ Auto attack and auto retreat radius will be more limited in future
+ Return to original position for auto attack added
+ Fixed attack helicopter weapon pitch that didn't allow it to attack many things inside its attack range
+ Auto repair and auto heal also added, radius and return to original position functions mirrors other auto functions
+ Fixed issues relating to auto functions, made sure player orders took precedent
+ Added 'hold' function, bound to 'o' key.
+ Ordering a unit or group of units to 'hold' disables all auto functions, they will not attack, retaliate, flee or do anything else.
+ A units 'hold' status is broken when ordered to do anything else, including moving.
+ Quad Tree pathing implementations begins
- This will allow a greatly increased map size, decreased pathing speed, and nearly lag-less terrain editing
- The map size limit is also makes map to world scale different enough that directly importing city roads and structures is difficult.

+Quadtree pathing implementation
- This will allow a greatly increased map size, decreased pathing speed, and nearly lag-less terrain editing
- Map generation and load times are significantly improved as well. For the same large map, load times decreased from 320s to 72s
+ Blender template render file created, full rate asset production can resume.
- My original copy of Maya went fubar and forced me to remake all template files in Blender
+ Begun to re-render all vehicle wrecks with rusty scorched texture instead of previous clean texture.
+ Icons for various units created, these will display on the mini map
+ Added in the former Soviet countries in East Europe and the Caucases (vid)
- The map size limit is also makes map to world scale different enough that directly importing city roads and structures is difficult.

Thanks mate. I haven't updated the release in a while yet. We're working towards the next version, which will finally add in enemy AI.
