SO I just got mercenary expansion today. And screwed around.

First things I noticed, graphic updates for battles. They look more mystical now. Magical even. Very interesting. I like the old graphic but I like this new magical graphic. I'm torn. I think I like the new magical graphics more better than old graphics.

And then, the screen now shakes whenever a ship goes boom. I approve. My bloodthirsty minime likes it. This is going to make my doom battleships blowing up the enemy more interesting.

Was there further work done on the cinematic camera? Cuz it looks like there was some changes.

Question about mercenaries. If they get blown up in battle, they are dead forever?

And I saw very amazing mercenary available in age of ascension, the last of bathor. Dude can turn dead worlds into class 16 worlds. Is he one time use only or will he be available for purchase again after some time? I want to make HEAVY use of this particular mercenary.

Finally, the bugs, I noticed two immediately in the Torian Mercenaries Scenario.

First one, Hammer Planet of Arceans!

Notice how it is defended by ships but is labeled as uncolonized world and I cannot send a trade route it as the result.

Second one, The Planet of Soil Enhancement!

Dun dun dun!
