Updated the mod, now more experiment adjustments

Updated: 9/27/2016

This is an experimental mod pack I made. It is designed to change a lot of underused features in the game to make them more usable. I also added in some features to adjust balancing. Note this is my first mod and it is not perfect.

In this replay there was heavy tank vs heavy tank game play, coming down to the wire. I lost a couple squad carelessly which allowed my opponent to get back in the game.

In this replay, I called in close the pocket four times and damn, I am still loving it. The replay goes four a little less than 50 minutes and I had a bit of a bad early game going on, but I still had a lot of fun.

Now we need useless bulletin that increases that suppression

Oh, you mean you need something like this?
