Patches
- The only official patch, released by Elixir before its demise in 2005. It fixes a number of issues, however it should be noted a number of issues still remain.
- An unofficial fan patch collated by Evil Planet. Although designed for the US release, most game elements introduced should function with European versions of the game. The patch improves upon many game elements that had previously frustrated players.
- A free expansion to the game, it provides a new unit, a new trap, and various other additions.
Enhancements
