## Resources
- **Vespene Geyser**s and **Vespene Ridge**s now have smaller collision profiles, slightly increasing the value of oversaturation

## AI
- Updated aiscripts to properly use factional replacements in scenarios

## Editor
- **NEW:** Units preplaced for 'user select' players are now created at map start (use responsibly...)
- **NEW:** Units preplaced with the 'lifted' unit property are now only created for players if the unit's race matches the player's race
- **NEW:** Volatile Egg unit (id 416)
	- when placed for P1-P8 and cloaked, any preplaced units for that player will be created, allowing players to select their race without spawning melee units

## Bugfixes
- **Audiovisuals:**
	- Unit response randomization has been restored (c. DF)
	- Unit portraits now animate when playing unit responses in-game (c. DF)
	- **Hotshots** now use their shadows instead of the **Madcap**'s

## Audiovisuals
- New sprites for:
	- Golem
	- Ocsal Cesiant
- Updated sprite for:
	- Legionnaire

## Terran
- [Goliath](https://www.fraudsclub.com/cosmonarchy-bw/show.php?target=terran/goliath):
	- **Twin Autocannons**:
		- Weapon damage 1x4 » 1x5

## Protoss
- [Golem](https://www.fraudsclub.com/cosmonarchy-bw/show.php?target=protoss/golem):
	- Collision size slightly adjusted to fit new model

## Zerg
- **Broodspawn**:
	- **Death Cycle**:
		- Ensnare timer 3 seconds » 0.5 seconds
