Setup instructions are [here](https://www.fraudsclub.com/cosmonarchy-bw/sites/game-setup/)! Note that the editor mpq has recently had its name changed. Adjust your SCMDraft profiles accordingly. Aside from that: More audiovisuals (thanks DarkenedFantasies and Solstice!), and more balance changes are coming your way! ## Gameplay - Multi-target attacks: (c.
