A short release built around one large change. The strategic AI got an overhaul and is now meaningfully smarter about how it expands, builds and commits its fleets — which also made the long-standing problem of battles failing to resolve at the strategic layer much harder to ignore. That is fixed here too.
Install note: You will need both the .exe and the .pck files downloaded!
