• No defense bonus on any tile without fortify (regardless of tech)

[SeventhM]

Any purely numbers things I can probably check off since there's likely either done already or easily doable and don't require any changes being done in the rewrite. Though correct me if I check off something not technically done yet

[SeventhM]

Also, please check off (or edit the op as notes) stuff as you go so it can be more easily tracked

[johnklipi]

@SeventhM dont check anything. I created new branch where I removed EVERYTHING and started from scratch. Thats why not so much was scratched. I dont remember whether I pushed the branch though.

[SeventhM]

I don't see where that branch is. Is it in a different repo or something?

[johnklipi]

@SeventhM i think I didnt push it yet, thats why

[SeventhM]

Ok then. Can that be pushed? Even if it has no changes from base Polytopia, base stat changes are easy enough that they can probably be done by the weekend, if that
