Nathan Mates).
Now that's what you call dedication. Or obsession. Or something.
</p><p> </p><p>The full feature list of the final 1.3 patch will include:</p><ul><li> Much greater MOD (game modification) support, allowing up to 26
total races to be active at once. </li><li> Over 50 additional Instant Action & Multiplayer maps by several
mappakers within the BZ2 community, and tweaks to some existing maps
to reduce bugs. As of 1.3PB2, there are 16 classic and additional IA
maps, 98 classic and additional MP maps installed.</li><li> Bots in DM, and some additional DM gameplay modes.</li><li> Enhancements to many parts of the game, including AI, craft
