In April 2012, the developers released a major update for the game, version 1.13g, that added many new features and fixed several bugs. Here are some of the highlights of the update:

• Added hard difficulty level as option on game start. Modifies enemy strength, income and starting funds.

• Added tactical mode as option on game start. Enemies have to be revealed via line of sight in tactical mode. Sound sources are marked in tactical view as well as on the minimap.

• Added two new achievements for tactical mode and higher difficulty.

• Added option to level recruited militia up via the location UI on the world map.

• Added options to distribute militia via location UI (evenly across all combat zones, focused on a single combat zone).

• Added sector inventory, accessible via Character Detail Screen. Always accessible in friendly sectors. Automatically includes all containers that have been opened and all enemy drops that have been spotted by the player. Accessible for militia recruitment and trading with NPCs.

• Added item exchange via Drag & Drop in Character Details Screen. Illegible mercs are marked red. Within hostile sectors mercs need to be within 5m distance to be able to exchange items.

• Stamina is reduced when returning to the strategic map when squads travelled great distances in the tactical view.

• Current ammo saved for each weapon, weapons are unloaded when being handed over to militia.

• Militia will hand weapons back unloaded to prevent players cheating ammo via the militia equip screen.

• NPC Traders restock their inventory over time (rules can be modified via characters.txt).

• Targeting line indicates best range of weapon and chance to hit via color from green (good) to red (bad).

• Camera scrolling possible by moving the cursor to the border of the screen in fullscreen mode.

• Added Sound FX for melee attacks.

• Putting away a fire arm for non-combat actions (e.g. heal) will no longer reset the firemode of the weapon.

The update also fixed some exploits that allowed to duplicate items via item exchange, fixed bugs in squad selection via list on world map, fixed regeneration of HP on world map, fixed missing text for Raiderâs hiring dialogue, fixed Blood not liking Magic due to a typo, fixed MP53 weapon type not being specified, fixed Deidrannaâs sending of troops based on the playerâs income becoming less likely, fixed orientation of 66mm rocket shot from LAW, fixed issue when player receives several items of the as quest reward and has not enough space in inventory to hold all of them, fixed crash in tutorial, fixed several mercs that move as a group changing positions after reaching their destination if one of them with active guard mode receives a new goto order, fixed guard mode would prevent mercs from letting other mercs pass them, fixed mail list not being cleared when starting a new game, fixed item swap to player inventory for stacked items on rightclick and by "loot all"-button[^1^].
