v0.7.7

Victorian Flavor Mod Version v0.7.7 Changelog:

This update is save compatible but not recommended due to some changes.

Units on the map no longer use the travel network to get around, instead moving in straight lines between fronts and HQs as it was done in previous versions of the game. This is a temporary fix until we can resolve issues with our own spline network, but it should resolve most remaining crashes that have been occurring since 1.5.
