Major additions:
- Monsters: Dragons, Giant Spiders, Sky Krakens
- Monster nests in conquest mode
- Modules: Dragonriders, Harpoon Guns and Dragonhide Armour
- Ability to create missions in-game. You can set up a combat between particular opponents, or let the player choose their own fleet. Missions can also use mods, and you can put missions into mods. (I'll do a whole post on the mission editor in a bit.)
- Performance improvements and bug fixes.
What's going to be in v9.0 that's missing right now:
- More monsters
- Monster nests actively attacking empires
So yes, let me know what you find! I'll be showing off this build to several thousand people in less than a week, so any bug finding is highly appreciated.
