· Item conversion can now convert to Common items too. Especially useful if trying to convert low tier national gear and your nation doesn't have a cheaper alternative.
· We are highly concerned about issues current Strategus has with ranged so there is a little revamp there. Archers being extremely powerful during early stages of Strategus when players can't get any decent armor is a major issue that ruined game experience. Indeed, amount of ranged players itself is a problem as well but we can't really limit people from playing/abusing the META. Instead we decided to have a different approach. First of all, we went back to limiting Common bows to just Short Bow. It lost 1 damage also. Second is regular Arrows are removed from Common items and are made Swadian with stats changed. Third and most important: Common cheap arrows are now Wooden Arrows which are basically old Arrows but with -6 cut and lower price/weight. Hopefully such a huge damage reduction (19+7 base damage for Short Bow in the past -> 18+1) will make it less of a problem.
· We added a certain amount of items to factions (both old assigned and completely new added), work is still in progress.
