Version 1.3.1 released

Today we are releasing Merc Tactics 1.3.1. This is a minor release which brings bug fixs and improvements.

New features:

• Allow  change weapon action to be undone (this effectively allows to player to test how far a grenade can be shown, without losing action points)
• AI sometime use the "defend buildings" strategy when they realise they are over-powered.
• Ben Dabi use defend buildings strategy sometimes
• Better balanced difficulty levels, easy, normal, hard and very hard. Difficulty levels are now specified from a xml file.
• Enemy AI only throws grenade on second opportunity on easy level
• Soldiers are smarter, depending on difficulty level
• online help for hot keys
• More powerful stats for M87 grenade, which is also rarer
• Make only certain characters have grenades
• Speeded up change weapon and throw animations when soldier not visible to make battle proceed quicker
• The same key that opens a dialog is also used to close it. Dialogs can also be closed using the ESC key (instead of enter)
• Tweaked conditions to get guns, armour and grenades during battle
• Clicking on HUD portrait centers the soldier in center of screen

Bugs fixed

• Battle gets stuck in loop after throwing grenade
• More accurate grenade trajectory calculation. More hit testing prevents player from throwing grenades that will accidently bounce back off walls, door frames, etc.
• Grenade detonates quicker, but waits until hitting ground at least once
• Grenade trajectory not shown when out of range
• Flickering HUD 
• Remove feature to increase visual range after taking a shot with scoped rifle. This feature is too confusing
• Swap scope/ silencer attachment bug
• Swapping gun with broken gun results in the gun put into wrong group 
• Prevent soldier aiming flush against corner of building from shooting into building
• Allow undo throw bug
• Fix grenades bouncing through floor. 
• Wait for grenade to explode before ending turn
• Prevent showing grenade explosion out of range
• Cap on max allied soldiers in a battle
• Changing the file version error message

Unfortunately, changes resulted in previous game saves not being compatible with the new version.
