Designer's Notes

Patch goals include:

Fairly minor changes were made in this update, with a few nasty bugs finally quashed!

Terrain height has been extended by DarkenedFantasies, allowing tilesets to have significantly more height levels!
- This required some changes to vision range and weapon range; be on the lookout for any related issues!

The following tiles now provide a height difference:
- Desert: Sandy Sunken Pit (both variants)
- Iceworld: Ice
- Twilight: Sunken Ground (both variants)

Stability:
- A null unit crash related to updating unit speed has been fixed (r. greeneggsnspam, c. DF)
Gameplay:
- Changing selections after units die no longer occasionally breaks selections (c. DF)
- Reclaiming Terran addons no longer sometimes sets the parent to neutral (r. neblime)
- Lobotomy Mine, Claymore, and Gorgon slows now correctly apply to flingy-based units (r. neblime & TheBeaver99)
- Psionic Storm now correctly damages the caster (c. Veeq7)
- Iroleths now correctly regress to Ovileths
- Group-selecting Lakizilisks and other units no longer occasionally shows a disabled attack icon
- Fixed a rare issue with Olympians becoming unresponsive when moving after a melee attack (r. lolrsk8s)
