Full release notes here.

Forge Of Empires (Formerly Known As Sidekicks)

• Lots of buffs to the Dyson Empire, and bugfixes for the Dark Zenith Empire.
  
• Armada Empire now needs to use Multi-Phasing flagships to attack new AI installations that hide in multi-phase. (Badger has been wanting something like this for a while; there's a lot of cool things one can do with phasing).
  

Other Updates

• Performance improvements to the marauders; they were notorious for bogging down the game when they got strong. Thanks to CRCGamer for this.
  
• Improvements to the Exodian Blade mod.
  
• The steamworks integration has been updated for OSX and linux, which should make it so that silicon-based macs are now able to use steamworks features. It's unclear if intel-based macs will still work with this or not, but it has not effect on windows and should not affect linux either.
