-Battle System, Units got the same firepower against all kind of units, all got more hp (I recommend to read the new guides, it's explained a lot) and now Armor are Range 1 Damage Range 2 and Range are range 3.
Which guides would be useful?  I learned finding bad advice is easy to find, good advice is even harder.

I am assuming this is reflective of the level system?

-Time required for a structure to finish it's construction (not restricted by tick passing but a defined time like  1 complete hour since the moment you press the button)
So the game is showing more real time tactics over the old progressive based.  I know new colonies followed that suit as well.  Anything else amongst them?

What effects do barracks have?  What are the "new settlements?"

A lot more fair to the casual direction.  That was one of the problems with battledawn before.  It is a pretty hardcore game.  Good to be fair it is catering a little more to noobs.  Although I am sure newbs still complain how unfair the game is anyways.  It did take a month or two to learn the game and most people didn't have that patience.  Luckily I did.

Not sure I understand, please elaborate a bit for me please.

-Donation was changed to enforce a fair play 
Elaborate on this as well.  I would like to know how?  Is resource distribution balanced relevant to the number of ticks passed?  Are people limited to how many donations they can make?  I like the fact this is being addressed.  It certainly wasn't impossible to overcome before but it would require more time and selective use of resources.

-The community is growing?  
 I always thought it was stagnant before.  As I said, it seems the game is becoming more casual.

  That is good to hear.  Have things become more civilized when I left as mod?  I came in around the time when the moderators were really abusing their powers.  It was sickening.  Some how even Hell Scream was able to get a job as a moderator.  Regardless, it was nice to see things reform, especially when Seth got a handle on things.  Harsh but it was what was needed.
