Wyrmsun is an open-source RTS game which features elements of mythology, history and fiction.
In the Wyrmsun universe a myriad of inhabited planets exist. Humans dwell on Earth, while dwarves inhabit Nidavellir and elves nourish the world of Alfheim. These peoples struggle to carve a place for themselves with their tools of stone, bronze and iron. And perhaps one day they will meet one another, beyond the stars...
Features:
Wyrmsun's lore is based on history and mythology, and on the lore of other open-source fantasy games, such as Battle for Wesnoth.
Getting Wyrmsun on Steam (http://store.steampowered.com/app/370070) provides you with benefits such as streamlined installation, automatic updates and Steam Workshop integration.

Added Clay Golem unit.
Buildings
Fixed the variation conditions for Germanic and Teutonic Docks.

Bats, blood bats and dread bats are now selectable and have icons.
User Interface

Removed the "Units" option, since it didn't serve much of a purpose; almost all maps have as default a town hall with five workers, and the other options weren't interesting enough to keep supporting them.

Receiving the "The Last Caravan has Arrived!" event while in the Chaincolt Foothills map will result in victory.
The "Strike a Bargain?" event now creates an extra Axefighter for the raider player in an alternate location, to make it more difficult to avoid the bandits at all while moving the caravans to your Mead Hall.

Factions
Added an option in the single player game menu to choose which faction of the civilization you want to play as (i.e. which dwarven clan). Right now, this affects which events you get, and in the future it may affect which units, buildings and upgrades are available to you.
Heroes
Added Rugnur (dwarf), as well as an older (and more powerful) version of him.
Rugnur now uses a brown-haired variant of the dwarven axefighter graphics.
Added Greebo (goblin).
Maps
Renamed the maps which had their names in German, translating their names to English.
Chaincolt Foothills: The player now begins with 400 gold and 200 lumber (previously it was 200 gold and 100 lumber), and AI starting resources have been changed accordingly.
Chaincolt Foothills: The player now begins with Rugnur instead of an Axefighter, and his survival is necessary for victory.
Chaincolt Foothills: The gnomes' starting worker is now a Gnomish Scavenger instead of a Dwarven Miner.
Chaincolt Foothills: The raider player now begins the scenario with a Steelclad instead of an Axefighter, and with two extra dwarven Scouts, to make it more difficult to destroy him just by using one gnomish recruit to lure the guard out of the raider player's town.
Fixed a bug that was making the Central Park, Looking Upwards, Northern Lakes, North-South Conflict and Time for Decisions maps be unplayable in multiplayer.
Added the "Forgotten Forest" map by Kyran Jackson as a skirmish map.
