V1.2.1.1

"new zk build has delicious balance... it feels wonderfull to play the game" - Kyubey

The main purpose of this release is to broaden Vehicle play to units beyond the Scorcher and to fix Panther. With a range reduction it is much less able to kite raiders, forcing the Vehicle player to invest in other counters. Panther has been significantly reworked because the unit was never well designed in the first place.

Feedback on these changes has been good so it is time for a release! Panther may not be done but it is a lot better than it was before.
