## User Interface
- Selection: (c. DarkenedFantasies)
	- Selection is now capped at 252, from 12
	- When selecting more than 12 units, selections are collapsed, showing the quantity of units by type - at which point:
		- Left-click selects all units of that type
		- Shift-click deselects one unit of that type
		- Ctrl-shift-click deselects all units of that type
- Game modes: (c. Veeq7)
	- Added "Competitive Mode" to once again display "kills" on combatants
	- Renamed "Use Map Settings" to "Scenario Mode"
	- Restricted multiplayer game mode selection to only that which is currently-supported
		- Modes that had limited (and buggy) utility can be reimplemented more completely; please message us for specific requests!

## AI
- Reduced the resource bias for expansion selection to prevent unwanted edge cases on some maps

- Audiovisual:
	- The attack overlay for Anchors is no longer created facing the wrong direction when turreted combatants (i.e. Goliath) attack
	- While garrisoned in Cinder Mode, Matadors now create the flamethrower overlay (still WIP) (r. Mystery Meat)
	- Dying eggs hatching into units now play the egg's death animation (c. DarkenedFantasies)
	- Fixed the Empress's training string not displaying costs (r. The Shambler)
	- Fixed a typo in Empress - Anodyne Annex passive description (r. The Shambler)
