Patch Notes

Full release notes here.

This is more updates to the Forge of Empires mod.

Fix a busted module for the DZ Sidekick.
Remove the standalone Reaper faction from the Game Lobby; it does not seem to work.
The Scourge Infused Empire is now more careful with its initial Scourge structure spawning to prevent duplicate structures.

If you were playing with the Armada Empires in particular, then savegames including those won't carry forward into this build. Badger has been reworking that faction heavily based on player feedback.
The Armada Empire can now tune its difficulty in the Game Lobby.
Adjust the armor/albedo/other stats for the Armada Empire a bit; previously they were very uniform. This also applies to the Kzinti AI Type.
Fix a compatibility bug between the Armada Empire and the Spire Sidekick.
Terran Sabres no longer contribute toward AI Counterattacks.
Significant rework of the Terran/Kilrathi weapons. Previously there was a lot of uniformity, especially for the Kilrathi being ruthless against low armor ships. This also applies to the Kzinti AI Type. Since this changes a lot of weapons, this is the part that will break Armada save games.
Nerf Armada Cannons.
The Armada Warleader can now upgrade itself with science.
