Greeting Strategists!

First of all, we want to thank you for your patience.
This update took longer than expected due to a critical bug that many community members had reported — units becoming unresponsive or refusing to move. Fixing it required extensive testing and a major rewrite of core systems. The good news? It’s been 100% resolved.

Along the way, we also added several highly requested features that many of you had been asking for!

A huge thank you to everyone who took the time to report bugs and provide feedback — your support is what keeps this project moving forward and evolving! 🚀
