Here's what I've been up to the last month.
UI:
[list]
[*] Units menu now has a display to show the number of units in the squad. Also shows the number of units in a squad when changing a unit's squad.
[*] Squad members in the Units menu are now sorted by their rank, and level. So higher ranked units will show up at the top first, then it goes by level.
[*] When selecting a squad there was no indication that they were selected, so that's been added.
[/list]
Changed the squads panel to look slightly less terrible.

It will also show who the current squad leader is if one is assigned.

Unit control:
[list]
[*] Made it so squad leaders can command a larger number of units.
[/list]
Workers/Buildings:
[list]
[*] Improved the infrastructure menu slightly. It was...bad, it's still pretty bad but it's slightly less so now.
[*] Workers are mostly autonomous but there are situations where they will store their resources in just one town because it's the closest town to them. But I adjusted it so the player can assign workers to different towns.
[*] Added a details panel for workers, to see relevant stats. Also made it possible to upgrade workers.
[*] Thought it would also be nice to have towns generate random names when constructed so I added a name generator for towns.
[/list]
Research:
[list]
[*] Got started on the research tree, which is pretty barebones at the moment. But I got the framework set up, and it's fairly scalable, so I just need to fill it out with actual research options.
[/list]
Items:
[list]
[*] Added new item slots: Pants, Belt, Bracers, Pauldrons.
[*] Added new items: 74 pieces of armor, and 60 weapons.
[*] Added tooltips for items as well, which is pretty rough at the moment but gets the job done.
[/list]

Dungeons:
[list]
[*] Added a few different types of dungeons: Fire, Ice, Forest/Jungle, Prison, and Maze.

Performance:
Made some changes to the targeting system that improved performance quite a bit.
Map:
Made improvements to the map generation so that it can spawn in items, objects, and dungeons in random locations throughout the map.
