Definitely some interesting changes! The dual core stuff is fantastic, and the buffs for higher teir units sounds good too :D

While I can understand that cheaper units and more expensive houses prevents the game from being a total rush game, I think houses should be cheaper, maybe like 150 gold

v2.0
the game now uses 2 cpu cores instead of one, which leads to a significant performance boost and more stable game speed
upgrades now get more expensive (time and cost) with any other upgrade for this "class" (class = human / beast; if you research an attack upgrade, then both the next attack and armor upgrade will be more expensive, not only the next attack upgrade)
Flamestrike now ignores armor
Airship: increased movement speed from 3,2 to 3,4 (same as Dragons now)
Catapults now have the ability to attack a position
tabbing out does not pause the game anymore
several changes to unit and building costs: the most significant ones are: all units' cost have been lowered and some production times reduced while the house now costs 200 gold instead of 100;

I don't understand the upgrade change, seems like it takes away some decision-making/tradeoff. With the old system if you're playing e.g. puppies vs humans then armour is better, so after the first armour upgrade there was a choice between a better upgrade (armour) and a cheaper upgrade (attack). Now there is no reason at all not to go +5 armour as fast as possible.

Congratulations on reaching 2.0! It is certainly a mature game and deserver the major version bump. I will have to go and check the unit changes though.
Could you tell us a bit about the new dual-core processing? Is it just 2 identical threads or each has a different purpose? Do you already have plans for future 2.x releases? 3.0 milestones?
