- MPs (Magic Points) are now called EPs (Energy Points)
- New cell sytem: maps 2x bigger, river borders more accurate
- Minimap is now filtered
- Surface detail removed (always draw on max detail)
- Animated trees on intro screen
- Pressing 'T' saves a TGA image on the screen folder
- Improved AI

Not in next version, but we know that is a very important feature, and we hope it will be added in the  future.

Joer pos que putada, esto me recuerda que nuestro modelador no tiene copia de seguridad de los modelos del glest en formato max, me parece que le voy a obligar a hacerla.

General discussion / New Mirror

I want to thank Alex Riviere for providing us a Glest download mirror, this will help us a lot because we are having bandwidth problems due to the increased size of the game.

Solo comentar un detalle, el alfa total es decir cuando un pixel tiene alfa=0, da problemas pero muchos menos que cuando el objeto es traslucido, en el 2º caso el orden de renderizacion es muy importante en el otro solo se verian los bordes de forma un poco extran-a.
