Hello everyone, it’s been a while since I’ve updated this thread haha. I’d hoped to make more progress over the past year, but instead I ended up completely reorganizing the project and re-implementing it piece by piece which took a bit more time than I expected. I hope the wait was worth it, because the game has undergone massive improvements. The old chapter 1 is gone, and the remaining chapters have undergone significant revisions. Two completely new chapters are included, and in my totally subjective opinion they are the best yet. Additionally, several new units and items are available and I’ve polished the game visually as well.
I have two more incomplete chapters in various stages of completion, which will conclude the end of the first major arc of this game. Here’s a preview of the chapter 9 map (subject to change, of course).
Hopefully the next release won’t take quite as long as this one 
Until then, I hope you enjoy the newly updated version of this hack, which can be found at the top of the thread.
