Added history to the Gems of War Database! It’s now possible to go back in time to look up a troop pre-changes to do comparisons (or to do it wholesale over the entire table). The UI affordance is a timer in the corner of the screen, like so:
I’ve thrown up the 6/17 World.json file just to use as a test, but please note that I preserved only the world data, not the text from that date, and so the mechanics won’t line up with the troop spell descriptions. Going forward, this won’t be a problem, as I’ll save off the text files along with the world data. Just be careful with this first upload!
For those curious, the URL differences are as follows:

This makes it really easy to find differences for a single troop, via the W3C HTML diff service:
