Aquanim continues to balance sea and the codebase has received many background cleanups and small fixes. The new UI is now the default and in terms of land balance Dominatrix may be OP. | Aquanim continues to balance sea and the codebase has received many background cleanups and small fixes.

The UI rework has reached the point where it is enabled by default. To switch to it select "New UI Minimap Right" in "Settings/HUD Presets". It is incomplete but it does as least as much as the previous default. It looks like this: | The UI rework has reached the point where it is enabled by default.

As always, the default only applies to clean installs. However, this policy has ended up painting us into a corner. The UI used by most players tends to be a snapshot of whatever the default UI was when they first installed ZK. At worst this UI is broken and at best it is not something I want to fully support. The situation I imagine is someone with an eight month old default suddenly having a window overlap issue due to more recent changes. Players with experience modifying their UI can simply remove the widget or move the window. Players that barely modify their UI should not be expect to be able to solve these problems themselves. | As always, the default only applies to clean installs.

[b]Important:[/b] there is now an option "Stay up to date" in "Settings/HUD Presets" and it is enabled by default. Currently, this option does nothing. In February this option will set the UI Preset to the default window layout, whatever that may be by February. Other things may be changed as required. If you want to keep your custom UI then you have by February to disable the option. | [b]Important:[/b] there is now an option "Stay up to date" in "Settings/HUD Presets" and it is enabled by default.

This behaviour was always the intention, however, it was not (probably never) functional. This is mainly a buff against large units because removing their 4% capture decay while actively being captured is a larger change for expensive units. This change is in a good direction because Dominatrix is meant to be anti-heavy. | This behaviour was always the intention, however, it was not (probably never) functional.

Removed Surfboard. Something like Surfboard can be re-added but the current implementation was too broken. | Removed Surfboard. Something like Surfboard can be re-added but the current implementation was too broken. | ||

Wolverine tactical AI is now better at staying out of Grizzly range. It is still not great at this though, since Wolverine has a large turning circle. | Wolverine tactical AI is now better at staying out of Grizzly range.
