Copper Alloy Plates are now useful!

Adds in new deep mining equipment for survival in barren areas, as well as automatic brewing equipment and condensers to aid in your alcohol enterprise.

• Gunsmithing Bench (Muskets, Flintlock pistols, Musket Parts and Ammo) -Find the blueprint on "Weapons Foreman," in his new Ashlands dome.

(WEAPONS)

• Added the Halberd, Fragment Cleaver, Mace, Sai, Long Sabre, Heavy Sabre, Odachi, and Cavalry Sabre.
• Added the Gaussbow (a gauss Spring Bat for "I want that guy REALLY dead!")

• Meitou Halberd is on the High Inquisitor Valtena

• Unholy Heavy Plate
• Unholy Half Plate
• Plated Stout Hessian
• Chain Coat
• Blackened Chain Coat

• Valtena wears masterwork Heavy Plate, while the Phoenix wears masterwork Half Plate. Inquisitors all wear the Heavy Plate armor, while High Paladins wear the Half Plate. High Paladins and Inquisitors also wear Plated Stout Hessians. The Holy Nation should now be a more formidable force.

(RE-BALANCING)

• Hack Stopper armor is slightly stronger (and now has harpoon resistance.)
• Cargopants and Halfpants variants buffed to be more viable. Sneaky chain and reinforced variants must also be crafted at their respective benches (chainmail and leather) -this is more of a patch than anything.

Added the "Techno Union" start that begins with the Head of Technology and Weapons Foreman, having every single research unlocked to bring glory back to the Second Empire and rebuild upon its ashes.
