V1.102 - Stegosaurus Hotfix (21 November 2019)

General
- When calculating XP, the system will cap XP from very one sided battles as if each of the victorious units only killed 2 units (therefore the cap only affects the battle where the victor is outnumbered more than 2 to 1). This is to slow down heroes power leveling by soloing armies.
- Players can now indefinitely use combat retries for a specific combat in singleplayer.
- Orbital/Forward Relays are no longer shown as destination if they are unavailable.
- Orbital/Forward Relays destination names now show both the sector name and colony.
- Changed operation origins text color from red to sand color in the arsenal interface.

Diplomacy
- AI players will no longer decline truce offers to resolve a war because of only recently having met or only recently having changed diplomatic state.
- AI players no longer send neutral foreshadowing messages to the player.
- Now showing a relation change modifier for faction relations when the war between a player and a faction ends.

Hero Skills
- Removed Compelling Presence (Celestian)
- Added Cleansing Light (Celestian); Cost 4, unlocked at level 5
- Echo of the Hivemind (Kir'ko) - Decreased given shields from 2 to 1

Fixes
General
- Fixed issue where Essence Pool visit sites would show up in the Frontier World template

- Fixed leader icon rendering in low resolution for the victory condition panel.
- Fixed crash in leader selection/leader editor for when the player had a (custom) leader that used a race or secret tech that no longer exists. This could happen when unsubscribing a mod that added a race/tech.

Tactical Combat
- Fixed an issue where a unit wouldn't play their death animation in tactical combat.
- Fixed issue which caused tactical AI to not use Bloated Pustules correctly.
- Fixed issue where the AI would sometimes prioritize standing next to units that had a negative effect on adjacent enemies (such as the Sinister Chorus ability)
- Fixed issue where Cerebral Overmind (and similar actions) would not always refund all move points on units that were placed in overwatch.

Diplomacy
- Fixed issue where the player was able to declare war on a faction through the operation hostile action panel even though they had recently made peace and a cooldown was in effect.
- Fixed issue where the game would not properly detect team games if all players were set to team 'None'. This affected the race relations, starting opinions and domination victory.

- All Hero Items unlocked solely through Anomalous Sites can now be equipped while your hero is in a vehicle
- Sunbringer now correctly receives melee mods

General
