 Beta 72
 Summary of changes (For more details and notes, see the full changelog (TAT-v2.0-Beta-Changelog.txt) included in the release):
 Fixed extended share menu that wasn't working. Also added hover and floating hover platforms and advanced vehicle plants to the Arm Beaver and Core Muskrat build menus (Thanks Chao!).
 Merged Arm and Core underwater nuclear mines with nuclear mines.
 NOTE: This frees up two unit slots, and they were identical in every way (cost, model, etc.) except for being able to be built underwater or not.
 Arm Solar Collector build angle reduced to 4096 (16384).
 Core Solar Collector build angle decreased to 4096 (16384).

 Beta 79
 Summary of changes (For more details and notes, see the full changelog (TAT-v2.0-Beta-Changelog.txt) included in the release):
 Arm Atlas and Core Valkyrie costs reduced and their armor ratio reduced from 4x normal to 3x normal. This should make it riskier to attack with carried units.
 Core Shodan line of sight and range increased and damage reduced.
 Laser defenses armor increased and damage reduced.
 NOTE: Weapons that use energy to fire have a 50% damage bonus, but most of the energy weapon defenses also had their armor halved and their firepower doubled, compared to the baseline. To make battles a little less quick and "glass cannon" feeling, these have been adjusted to only have 50% less armor and 50% more firepower, instead of halved and doubled.
 Arm Stingray and Core Thunderbolt were getting more damage than they should be, so I increased their costs to put them roughly where they should be.
 Core Moho Exploiter weapon changed to [CORE_DOOMSDAY_SECONDARY] ([CORFHLT_LASER]).
 NOTE: This gives more range to Moho Exploiters, making them more able to defend against longer-ranged attackers.
 Arm and Core Gantries now self-destruct as strategic nukes.
 All Kbots (Including gantry Kbots) have had their firepower per metal ratio reduced by 1/3.
 NOTE: This reduces the firepower per metal ratio of all Kbots to 2/3 what it was. This should help battles to not be so "glass cannon-y" and give more time for players to react to damage taken.
 Arm Zipper and Core Pyro armor increased and line of sight increased.
 NOTE: Like the Arm Peewee and Core A.K., the Zipper and Pyro's faster speed no longer comes at the expense of their armor.
 All vehicles had their speed reduced by 10%. This should make them a little less difficult to engage and target.
 Added Arm and Core Galactic Gates with teleportation functionality to build menus:
 Arm and Core Galactic Gates are now buildable by advanced construction units and can be used to teleport units between themselves. Build two, then select one and have it "attack" (link button) the other, then vice-versa. Once you see the directional arrows, you'll know it's ready to teleport units. Just walk them into the circle around the Galactic Gate, and it will appear next to the other gate. Movement waypoints are canceled when a unit is teleported, so it won't immediately try to go somewhere else.
 Big thanks to Wotan of the Total Annihilation: Escalation mod for giving permission for us to use these units with their impressive scripts!

 Beta 83
 Summary of changes (For more details and notes, see the full changelog (TAT-v2.0-Beta-Changelog.txt) included in the release):
 Added a new unit, the Nexus, to the Arm and Core Kbot Labs. The Nexus is a Kbot Transport, able to hold up to 6 units with a 3x3 footprint or smaller. It has firing ports, meaning units inside can fire outside while remaining protected inside the transport.
 Added two T3 construction units:
 Arm Experimental Construction Vehicle
 Core Experimental Construction Vehicle
 These are both built from the Experimental Gantries and have triple the build power of an advanced construction vehicle (About 4.5x the construction power of a Commander or a nanolathe turret).
 The following structures have been removed from the build menus of advanced construction units and are now only buildable by the Experimental Construction Vehicles:
 Advanced Fusions
 Deep Core Moho Mine
 Hyper Radar
 Vulcan/Buzzsaw
 Arm Bear and Core Turtle no longer have firing ports and can now carry 16 units instead of 6.
 Increased turning rate and flight time for vertically launched rockets to prevent them from running out of fuel when attacking targets to the south of them at maximum range.
 Reduced Shodan line of sight and range.
 Increased Arm and Core Advanced Solar Collector armor.
 Reduced Arm and Core Moho Geothermal Powerplant energy production to 1400 (2500).

 Beta 86
 Summary of changes (For more details and notes, see the full changelog (TAT-v2.0-Beta-Changelog.txt) included in the release):
 The new TADR release is included in this beta, which includes the +autoteam command, metal extractor and wreckage "snap" functionality, etc. This includes a new totala.exe and .dlls to allow for the new functionality. For details, see tdraw.txt.
 Depthcharges now continue to track targets outside their range, like missiles, making it harder for subs (Or other units) to outrun them.
 Doubled the metal "weight" for being carried in multi-unit air transports (Arm Condor and Core Vindicator) for Arm Lemmings and Invaders and Core Roaches and Skuttles, so you can only carry half as many (10 Lemmings instead of 20, etc.).
 Arm Gremlin mincloakdistance increased to 50 (25).
 NOTE: This makes them easier to decloak, since it was really difficult before. Now a unit that comes within about a Gremlin's width of the Gremlin should decloak it.
 Tripled the energy costs for the Arm Epoch and Core Black Hydra.
 NOTE: Previously, Epochs and Black Hydras had the same energy to metal ratio as the Millenium and Warlord, despite the former being Gantry-level ships. Now their energy cost is tripled like other Gantry units.
 Core Cauterizer attack run length and turnrate reduced.
 NOTE: This should help "chain-bombing" to be less abuseable with the Cauterizer, especially while trying to change directions during it.
 Arm Hermes cost reduced, armor increased, and firepower reduced to 1/2. They now use the Arm Chainsaw weapon.
 Minelayer vehicles, Kbots, and ships now take 20% normal damage from mines (5% normal damage).
 Arm and Core Nexus speed reduced to 1.2 (1.3).
 NOTE: This gives them the same speed as Commanders.
 Core Tidal Generator footprint changed to 3x3 (4x4), so they take up as little space as an Arm Tidal Generator.

 TA:T v2.0 Beta 86:
 The new TADR release is included in this beta, which includes the +autoteam command, metal extractor and wreckage "snap" functionality, etc. This includes a new totala.exe and .dlls to allow for the new functionality. For details, see tdraw.txt.
 Arm Crusader and Core Enforcer weapon [DEPTHCHARGE] weapon timer increased to 10 (3) and noautorange set to 1 (not set previously).
 Arm Archer and Core Shredder weapon [ADVDEPTHCHARGE] weapon timer increased to 10 (3.5) and noautorange set to 1 (not set previously).
 Arm Anemone and Core Jellyfish weapon [COAX_DEPTHCHARGE] weapon timer increased to 10 (6) and noautorange set to 1 (not set previously).
 NOTE: These changes allow depthcharges to continue tracking targets outside of their normal range. The enemy unit must still be within range to initially fire on it, but once fired, the depthcharge will keep tracking the enemy unit until it hits the target or the weapon timer runs out, which is 10 seconds for depthcharges. Previously, the depthcharge would stop tracking as soon as it went outside the firing range of the weapon, making it pretty easy for subs to outrun destroyer depthcharges, for example.
 Arm Lemming metal "weight" for being carried in multi-unit air transports (Arm Condor and Core Vindicator) increased to 100 (50).
 Arm Invader metal "weight" for being carried in multi-unit air transports (Arm Condor and Core Vindicator) increased to 250 (125).
 Core Roach metal "weight" for being carried in multi-unit air transports (Arm Condor and Core Vindicator) increased to 250 (125).
 Core Skuttle metal "weight" for being carried in multi-unit air transports (Arm Condor and Core Vindicator) increased to 700 (350).
 NOTE: These explosive bomb-type units are more dangerous than their metal cost might imply, so this makes it harder to carry in large amounts of explosive units in a single transport.
 Arm Gremlin mincloakdistance increased to 50 (25).
 NOTE: This makes them easier to decloak, since it was really difficult before. Now a unit that comes within about a Gremlin's width of the Gremlin should decloak it.
 Arm Epoch energy cost increased to 952373 (317453).
 Core Black Hydra energy cost increased to 993263 (331088).
 NOTE: Previously, Epochs and Black Hydras had the same energy to metal ratio as the Millenium and Warlord, despite the former being Gantry-level ships. Now their energy cost is tripled like other Gantry units.
 Core Cauterizer attackrunlength reduced to 225 (502) and turnrate reduced to 70 (140).
 NOTE: This should help "chain-bombing" to be less abuseable with the Cauterizer, especially while trying to change directions during it.
 Core Bladewing weapon [BLADEWING_LYZER] replaced with [ARM_PARALYZER].
 Core Bladewing weapon [ARM_PARALYZER] tolerance increased to 65500 (4500) and pitchtolerance set to 65500 (not set previously).
 NOTE: These two weapons look the same, sound the same, have the same reload, and do the same damage. The only differences are the [BLADEWING_LYZER] has maximum tolerance and pitchtolerance to allow it to shoot in any direction and a tiny difference in range ([BLADEWING_LYZER] has 465 range compared to [ARM_PARALYZER]'s 480). This will let us free up a weapon slot.
 Arm Hermes energy cost reduced to 17453 (21639), metal cost reduced to 617 (765), buildtime reduced to 15866 (19672), armor increased to 2945 (2433),  acceleration reduced to 0.01045 (0.014), and turnrate reduced to 185 (251).
 Arm Hermes weapon [HERMES] replaced with [ARM_CIR].
 NOTE: Previously, instead of the 1/2 baseline armor and double firepower most anti-air units have, the Hermes had 1/3 armor and triple the firepower, making it fairly dangerous to ground units, despite the only doing 1/3 damage to ground, since it had such good range and speed.
 This change gives the Hermes the Chainsaw/Eradicator weapon instead, and sets it to 1/2 armor and double firepower, as is standard for anti-air units. The Chainsaw/Eradicator weapon is very similar to the Hermes weapon: Almost the same range (1050 vs 1080), same reload, but about 1/2 the damage of the Hermes weapon. So the Hermes will still be very effective against air units and decent against lighter ground units, since it's a Chainsaw/Eradicator on treads, but will be harder to abuse against slower ground units. It will also have more armor and be somewhat cheaper as well. The [HERMES] weapon is still used by the Arm Archer and Core Shredder.
 Changed descriptions to reflect that depthcharges do triple damage to underwater and amphibious units, not double. The damage itself did not change, as it has been triple since Beta 62, but the descriptions still showed the old damage multiplier:
 Arm Anemone description changed to "Depthcharge Launcher (x3 damage to underwater and amphib units)" ("Depthcharge Launcher (x2 damage to underwater and amphib units)"
 Core Jellyfish description changed to "Depthcharge Launcher (x3 damage to underwater and amphib units)" ("Depthcharge Launcher (x2 damage to underwater and amphib units)"
 Arm Crusader description changed to "Destroyer w/ laser/plasma cannon/depthcharges(x3 dmg UW/amphib)" ("Destroyer w/ laser/plasma cannon/depthcharges(x2 dmg UW/amphib)"
 Core Enforcer description changed to "Destroyer w/ laser/plasma cannon/depthcharges(x3 dmg UW/amphib)" ("Destroyer w/ laser/plasma cannon/depthcharges(x2 dmg UW/amphib)"
 Arm Conqueror description changed to "Cruiser w/decklasers/Gauss cannon/depthcharge(x3 dmg UW/amphib)" ("Cruiser w/decklasers/Gauss cannon/depthcharge(x2 dmg UW/amphib)"
 Core Executioner description changed to "Cruiser w/decklasers/Gauss cannon/depthcharge(x3 dmg UW/amphib)" ("Cruiser w/decklasers/Gauss cannon/depthcharge(x2 dmg UW/amphib)"
 Arm Archer description changed to "Flak/AA missile(1/3 dmg to non-air)/AdvDcharge(x3dmg UW/amphib)" ("Flak/AA missile(1/3 dmg to non-air)/AdvDcharge(x2dmg UW/amphib)"
 Core Shredder description changed to "Flak/AA missile(1/3 dmg to non-air)/AdvDcharge(x3dmg UW/amphib)" ("Flak/AA missile(1/3 dmg to non-air)/AdvDcharge(x2dmg UW/amphib)"
 Arm Spotter description changed to "Radar/Sonar/Line of sight with depthcharges (x3 dmg UW/amphib)" ("Radar/Sonar/Line of sight with depthcharges (x2 dmg UW/amphib)"
 Core Watcher description changed to "Radar/Sonar/Line of sight with depthcharges (x3 dmg UW/amphib)" ("Radar/Sonar/Line of sight with depthcharges (x2 dmg UW/amphib)"
 Minelayer vehicles, Kbots, and ships now take 20% normal damage from mines (5% normal damage).
 NOTE: Minelayers can quickly build mines next to themselves to defend against nearby attacking units while taking little damage. This changes still allows them to do that, but at a higher cost in self-damage.
 Arm and Core Nexus speed reduced to 1.2 (1.3).
 NOTE: This gives them the same speed as Commanders.
 Core Tidal Generator yardmap changed to "www www www" ("wwww wwww wwww wwww"), FootprintX reduced to 3 (4), and FootprintZ reduced to 3 (4).
 NOTE: This reduces the space a Core Tidal Generator takes from 4x4 to 3x3, which is the same as the Arm Tidal Generator. Previously, one could only fit about 7 Core Tidals in the same line that 10 Arm Tidals fit, and Core Tidals took up about 77% more space if arranged in a square.
 Arm Fortification HLT Post energy cost increased to 22400 (21831), metal cost increased to 905 (882), build time increased to 18100 (17640), and armor increased to 4054 (4048).
 Core Fortification HLT Post energy cost increased to 23264 (22571), metal cost increased to 940 (912), build time increased to 19282 (18708), and armor increased to 4204 (4168).
 NOTE: These had a bit too much armor after the adjustment to HLT weapons, so the costs were adjusted up slightly to match.

 TA:T v2.0 Beta 84:
 Arm Kbot Lab yard map changed to "yccccy occcco occcco occcco occcco yccccy" ("yoccoy occcco occcco occcco occcco yoccoy").
 NOTE: This allows a bigger exit gap in the top and bottom of the North/South facing Arm Kbot lab. Previously, it could build 3x3 units, but only 2x2 units could fit out the north or south exits, preventing the 3x3 Nexus Kbot Transport from leaving the lab after being built. The E/W facing labs already worked fine, as do all Core Kbot Labs.
 Added Nexus to special damages on weapons.
 NOTE:
 This should have been done in Beta 83, but got missed.
 Arm Nexus damage modifier reduced to 0.5 (0.167).
 NOTE: The armor was increased and the damage modifier decreased. The effective armor is the same as before, but it will take 3 times longer to repair than before. This is to help prevent repair nanoturrets being carried inside of them from being too powerful.
 Removed firing ports on the Arm Bear.
 NOTE:
 This was listed in Beta 83 for both the Arm and Core Hover Transports, but was left undone on the Arm Bear.
 Adjusted Metal and Energy storage wreckage armor and metal values to reflect current unit armor and metal values.
 Core Sumo energy production increased to 20 (2.8) and energy storage increased to 200 (0).
 NOTE: This allows enough energy storage for a Sumo to fire its laser once, and enough energy production to fire its laser once every 10 seconds if it has no outside supporting energy.
 Core Commando workertime increased to 3150 (2150), speed increased to 1.41 (1.3), and armor increased to 2704 (1850).
 NOTE: This increases the Commando reclaim speed to be about 46% faster than the Arm Tick, as it costs about 46% more than the Tick, as well giving the the Commando a better armor per metal ratio than the Tick, which is 27% faster than the Commando.

 In other words, energy weapons normally get 50% more damage than the baseline, but HLTs now get another 50% damage above baseline for a total of double the baseline. So they get 33% more than the 50% above baseline they already had, but at the cost of doubling their energy per shot cost, instead of just 33% more energy per shot. This is in addition to the extra damage from the above armor/firepower ratio adjustment.
-This should help HLTs to hit much harder than their cost equivalent in lighter laser defenses (Such as multiple LLTs), but at a much higher energy cost. An HLT will do about 80% more damage than its cost in LLTs, but will use up about 270% more energy to do so. HLTs will destroy Flashes and Instigators in a single shot and Stumpies/Raiders in 2 to 3 shots, making them very effective at handling attacking units with heavy armor.

 Previously, TA:T was over the 512 unit limit (If using the TA Demo Recorder TADEMO.UFO unit), which caused some issues. For example, using Control-Z while having a Core Zulu selected would cause all selected units to start a self-destruct countdown as though Control-D had been pressed. It also seems to occasionally cause different kinds of units that shared a weapon type to not fire.
