Here's a bug to go with all that: Scouts seem to reveal all invisible units, not just one random unit.
Oops you're right, will work right on the next update (I just uploaded one).

Yes right, since those are optional. Or maybe I can just leave as it is... I'll just make enemies tougher just in case

I don't think you should make enemies tougher. More stars doesn't mean our units get tougher, because most of the time we can only use 3-4 different units at a time, and we'll have enough stars for those no matter what you do.

After clearing the Remi side mission, when I enter the Deck Screen, I can't exit without a deck with maximum of 8 cards in it.

OK thanks, no mission 16 shouldn't show up at all, you should get that messagebox. Can you send me some of your saves so I can test to make sure next update works ?
I forgot to code the Palydrayans sidemission, will do that tomorrow!

I sent my save from the side missions just after mission 15. You can also check the Remi side mission error from there (if you clear the mission), where the Deck Screen forces you to make 8 card decks.

Thanks, will do another update tomorrow (about 12h from now for people in other timezones).

So, we have 4 new cards in this update, all generic Empire cards, so usable by everyone. There's been a general revamp of stat bonuses for silver/gold, but all it really means is a reduction of health on most player units. This is probably not strongly significant for our general strength, though I suspect it may hit early Alex decks the hardest (Diana was already using suicidal/invisible units).
Robo-Ant: I haven't gotten around to abusing it, but clearly this is powerful with Optimization - you can have a 6 Attack unit with double attack. The reason this doesn't worry us too much is that Robo-Ant requires 2 Energy to play, so you can't overrun the board with these.
Grenadier Unit: Powerful, and not too expensive. These guys will be used a lot, and are easily abusable with the Recruit card, since their cost becomes 0.
Assault Infantry: Notable for being 4/2 at the Gold upgrade. With Charge, they will almost always get their 4 damage somewhere. They're balanced by requiring 2 Personnel resources, making them much harder to abuse.
Missile Turret: Any card that requires 3 of the same resource needs to be insane to get a deck spot. This one doesn't cut it. It's not wise to invest 3 Material in a Wall with a starting maximum of 6 health, especially when its bonus is against flyers, which don't have to attack it. It would be too harsh to call it unplayable, but I certainly don't want it in my decks. If it cost 2 Material, it might be worth a shot, but I'd still take my 2 Cannon Turrets first. (It's better than Laser Turret though, which I will call unplayable.)
I think all these turrets should be similarly costed, at some combination of 2/1/1. If tests then reveal them to be too powerful, they can be adjusted. Right now they're not getting tested, because they're too expensive to play.
