After two years of hard work, we are pleased to release the 1.09 Project.
We took our time before releasing the Patch as we do not want to have multiple versions (v2,v3,v4) after release. Only option would be to have in the future a proper Auto Updater that allows everyone to get the new update without needing to download any files or switcher again.
1.09 in brief:
A community patch based on 1.06 with the goal to improve the gameplay by cautiously balancing changes, improving/adding new maps , new features such as visual arts, effects and more that you can find by reading the Changelog or visiting our Youtube Channel.

Although our priority goal with this patch was to improve the gameplay, we did our best to add some new models and effects.
Many EA unused voices sounds for units and buildings were added.
