4.023 Beacon Expansiveness
(Released April 18th, 2022)

Base Game
-Add a journal for the beacons explaining whats going on.
--There's been a lot of pushback/critique of the beacon mechanic, so hopefully this will clarify things for players
-Beacons:
--Now the Devourer Golem and the Human Resistance Fighters can be activated via beacons during the game.
--Now beacons will be randomized at the start of each game.
---Some beacons (HRF, Sappers, FS) are always seeded.
---Added a new XML tag 'beacon_tier_for_seeding' used to sort the factions into 4 groups for seeding.

DLC1
-Beacons:
--Scourge's beacon is expanded with another hack that gives a scourge both to the player and the AI.
--Added a beacon for Chromatic Horror.

DLC2 - New Music Track!
-New music track in DLC2 -- The Zenith Onslaught!
--The new "Dark Zenith" track is an excellent 3:39 piece that will play during times of excitement, or when the Dark Zenith appear, if you have adaptive music enabled.
--This is a piece that is really in the classic mold of AI War, going all the way back to the roots of the series.
--Major thanks to Badger and Pablo for jointly commissioning this and surprising Chris with it, and of course to Pablo for composing. This is truly a treat.
-Beacons:
--DZ and Svikari get their beacon.

DLC3
-Wrangler Destroyer no longer has a reverse tractor beam. Instead, has a tractor beam that works on mass between 6-13 ( 6<X<13 )
--Reverse Tractor was more interesting in theory than practice for this unit
-Removed Electrotoxic damage from the Magnet Ward
--Thanks to Sage for pointing out this was too powerful for a non-FRS ward
-More Mummy nerfs
--Reduced devour-vampirism from 20% to 10%
--Reduce death gaze attack from 9K to 6K
-Some tuning to the Elderling intensities (AI allied) for 1-4. Basically, High Tier Elderlings will rarely or never spawn at these intensities
-Doubled Mines for Orbital Stealth Guard posts and they can spawn in a second, farther ring
-Fix a tooltip problem in DLC3
--Thanks to a number of people for reporting
-Add an optional SharkB For Necromancer setting
--Requested by zeus
-Sapper Updates:
--Fix some bugs where the sappers weren't building turrets correctly
--Give the sappers some more beachheading options
--Necromancer-allied sappers start with some extra resources to make them a bit more impactful
--Sappers can now spawn fewer beachheading turrets
-The templar assault waves against the necromancer now mention how many wave leaders there are
-The planet combat hovertext now shows how much science/hacking/essence has been earned by the necromancer as well as the ships raised
-Add some defensive code to the choose-a-specific-necropolis hack path
--Thanks to daniexpert for reporting
-Lots of DLC3 Achievement XML was added
--Thanks to zeus for grinding these out
--Some additional C# provided to support these achievements
-Add some quickstarts from Dragoris and Strategic Sage
-Beacons:
--Added beacons also for Elderlings, Migrant Fleets, Sappers and Wild Hives.
-Migrant Fleets
--Now has two new Journal Entries to flesh out the total gameplay loop
--Now has more dynamic tooltips, including origin planets and movement timers
--Fixed a bug which resulted in no more Migrants arriving once you captured a planet more than 5 hops away from your homeworld
--Various other small touching ups on descriptions and journals
-Minor Faction Team Elderlings will prefer to spawn with an ally, but can also spawn on empty planets
--I suspect Elderlings spawning w/o any allies will be quite weak, but perhaps people just want a readily farmable source of science?
-Fix a typo in the caged skeleton description
-Necromancer upgrades that are only available to higher mark Necropolises now point this out in the hack tooltip even if you can afford them
--Requested by Daniexpert

Bug Fixes

--Thanks to Puffin for reporting
