This update adds a Timeline to Statistics, takes Team Starts and Symmetric Map out of experimental, and fixes symmetric map generation, search shortcuts, and XML mod patching.
New
- Added a Timeline category to Statistics that plays back minimap history after you win or lose, while spectating, or with fog of war disabled.
General
- Removed Experimental from the Team Starts and Symmetric Map lobby options.
- Renamed Notification Log to Notifications and shortened the All, Cities, and Quests category labels.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed incorrect land amounts and broken river connections on Symmetric Map.
- Fixed holding Ctrl+F in Compendium, Research, or Notifications also toggling FPS display.
Modding
- XML patches now evaluate XPath separately in the base document and each preceding extension. Positions are per document, root appends can affect multiple documents, later extensions are unaffected, and existing extension deserialization boundaries are preserved. Select both attribute and child forms where needed.
- Fixed XPath patch text replacement and append ordering for mixed text and CDATA.
- Restored bounds checks for legacy XML mesh face indices.
- Fixed false missing-sound World validator diagnostics for weapon sound phases.
- Improved World validator diagnostics for invalid scalar values and references. Validator success does not guarantee runtime compatibility.
