Added one chinese Age of Mythology build order made by Deities of Death clan. Added support for more compact composite images. For example, you can now overlay an arrow image onto a boar image to create a more concise visual representation of 'hunt boar'. Use new format keywords ho (horizontal offset), vo (vertical offset) and bo (background opacity) for this. See docs . Added extra image/font sizes. Add 'plus' or 'minus' to any size to get a larger or smaller size. For example, <xsminus>. See docs .

I've been sitting on this post for a bit, it still doesn't quite feel real and I'm not sure how else to say it. So I'll just say it plainly: we hit the crowdfunding goal. Well a little less plainly... we smashed the goal. That means Gameathlon: Athens is happening properly. It means 8 titans are coming to Athens to compete on a LAN stage, the first one this game has had at this level since 2003. A lot of you chipped in, shared it, talked about it, believed in it before there was much to believe in. I read every name that came through. Thank you. I'm not going to pretend I'm normal about this one. Now for the part I'm most excited about. The Open Preliminary Qualifiers are live, and signups are open to everyone. This is the road in. You don't need an invite, you don't need a ranking, you just need to show up and play. The qualifiers run June 27 to 28, streamed on my channel, and the field is wide open. Sign up here: https://www.start.gg/tournament/gameathlon-athens-aom-open-qualifier/events And if you want to see what your support built or pitch in toward the stretch goals, the crowdfunder is still here: https://wolf-studios.tv/wss/boit/gameathlon-athens/crowdfunding/ I started in this community as a 14 year old getting bodied online. The idea that I get to help bring everyone together in Athens still doesn't feel real. Let's go make it count.
