 # Version History
 
+0.14.7 -  
+- Feature: Counterattack waves trigger when the player is standing in a chunk with the death pheromone past the retreat threshold  
+- Feature: Reinforcement waves trigger when the player is standind in a chunk that contains a nest  
+- Tweak: Increased max number of unit groups that can be active concurrently from 30 to 40  
+- Improvement: Removed restriction on unit group formations around nests  
+
 0.14.6 -  
 - Major Fix: Corrected retreat logic having inverted comparison introduced in 14.4, so unit groups stopped retreating after lots of death happened in a chunk  
 - Major Fix: Corrected pheromone dispersal with negative numbers  
 - Fix: Adjusted scoring so unit groups try to avoid nest clusters when retreating (Messes up pathfinding)  
-- Fix: When placing a player building gave credit to enemy as if they destroyed it  
+- Fix: When placing a player building ai was given credit as if they destroyed it  
 - Tweak: Reduced retreat time length from 4.5 to 3 seconds  
 - Tweak: Reduced death pheromone produced on death from 100 to 75  
 - Tweak: Increased attack radius of unit groups from 16 to 20 tiles
