Changes in 1.06.815

Additional multiplayer functions
Economy Mode
* Two teams play against each other for one hour. The teams try to 
outproduce each other in 7 categories of goods chosen at random. The 
team which has performed better in four of the seven categories is 
the winner.
Cooperation Mode
*Several players join up to play against the computer opponent. They 
all join forces in pursuit of one team objective, which can only be 
achieved if they all pull together.

More User-Friendliness
* 'M' key command added to call up the mission briefing 
* In Economy Mode, the briefing is displayed automatically at the 
start of the mission 
* Number errors and statistical inaccuracies in the GUI removed 
* Improved control and handling when unloading foundation carts 
* If you don't want to see the intro video each time you start the 
game, you can change 'ShowVideos = 1' to 'ShowVideos = 0' in the 
'Videos.cfg' file 
* No more mixing up playlists with game music: if you select the 
option of listening to your own music during the game, that's 
exactly what you'll hear

Enhanced balancing
* Saboteurs now only have half of their original strength 
* The spell "Convert Barbarians" no longer converts soldiers in 
Towers 

Improved Game Stability

games via LAN and Internet

Improved game stability

Saboteur
* Now only a pickaxe required to recruit a Saboteur. A shovel is

Saboteurs cannot be deployed on campaign maps. Additionally, the 
Saboteur is powerless against the murky machinations of the Dark 
Tribe!
