Mods

• Unit types can now be modded by putting a unitTypes.xml file in the mod folder. This allows changing the stats, costs, and all other details of existing unit types. Ways to add new unit types and integrate them with other game mechanics will be added in future updates.
• In the Mods window you can export a template uniTypes.xml file which has the current default data for all units.
• It is recommended to only put the unit types you want to change in the unitTypes.xml file. Any unit types not in the file will be left unchanged. Not putting unchanged unitTypes in the file reduces the risk of stability issues due to undiscovered bugs.
• The Mods window now has support for creating new mods via the UI (rather than solely through folder and file creation). There is also slightly improved error feedback.
• When loading a game, any mod used for the game is shown in the summary panel. If the mod is present it will be loaded along with the game.
• A toggle is a available to suppress the use of a mod when loading a game. This will load the game as if no mods had been used. Note that if you save the game after loading it this way, you cannot re-enable a mod.
• When starting a new game, you can choose from the mods available on your system.
• Integration with Steam Workshop (to more easily share mods) will be added soon. Hopefully in the next update.

• Battles now have a "skip-to-end" button during manual resolution. This can be used at any point after deployment to have the AI take over and resolve the rest of the battle. The rounds will be shown in the log as usual, allowing the player to inspect the results before closing the window.
• Search/filter functionality has been added to the Wizard research projects window. A number of toggles control what fields to free text search (name, mastery, etc.) One or more criteria can be chosen.
• Units which are disbanded (not destroyed) can now return their members to recruitment pools in cases where one is available.
• New unit types: Dire Hyenas, Gargantuan Wolves, Gargantuan Lizards, Gargantuan Spiders.
• Research projects which are cancelled during the same turn as they were started will have their cost refunded.
• Arcane Ward spells can now be cast during combat.
• Search functionality has been added to the Military window. This allows text-based filtering based on unit names, abilities, tags, etc.
• Passive Wizard Mastery progress with no focus assigned will now exclude masteries with level 0 (unlocked, but not mastered) and with level 10. This will avoid unlocked masteries, that the player is not interested in advancing, from "stealing" progress.

• Fixed an issue where armies that should be disbanded due to events or faction defeat, were lingering in various states of error.
• Fixed an issue where units that were destroyed were immediately replenishing causing their strength to become positive and revert the unit destruction.
• Divine interventions causing damage to armies were not working as intended. This has been fixed.
