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:

> **[War - Troops - Gems of War Database](https://gowdb.com/troops/6197)**
>
> Endless Conflict (20 Blue/Red/Brown): Burn all Enemies. Deal \[Magic + 1\] damage to an Enemy, boosted by my Attack. Gain an extra turn if the Enemy dies. \[1:1\]

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