Death and Taxes 7.0 Released

~Download the 7.0~

Why is this called the 7.0 and not the 6.6?
Although this isn't a massive overhaul compared to the last version, it will not be compatible with old save games due to map and claim timer changes. It also contains a massive amount of bug fixes, so I wanted to encourage more people to download this update by calling it the 7.0.

A call to arms
Whilst this should be fairly bug free, we still need your help. If you can find any bugs, we'll never find out about them unless you let us know in the bug reports thread - so please do.

[Ben Singleton]

How do you form greece? Is there a guide?

[RobMidas]

Where did the musket sounds during the battle sequence come from? Im thinking back to when I had version 5.5 or something like that (not sure if they have changed with recent versions)

They are the best musket sounds and I'd love to know the source.
