This update fixes a lot of bugs and adds the ability to alter or create new magic items for modders. Most importantly units standing on wall only received one third of the intended cover value, making them much too easy to shoot down by archers. After this update it should be much easier to defend castles against armies that rely heavily on ranged attacks. There has also been a number of performance improvements and some new features as well.
