The unit formulas have been changed to eliminate statistic offsets for most of the statistics. Technology bonuses are now applied to a unit's statistics based on which technologies a unit requires. Technologies indirectly influenced a unit's statistics and resource requirements in previous versions of Hyperion, but now these are affected directly by the unit's technology prerequisites. The Church builds Inquisitors and other Church units identified in the Manowitz section! Many other balancing, error corrections, and other enhancements!
