Release notes below. A brief update on development status can be found after the notes. Battle Resolution:

• Significant changes to battle resolution. The previous manual resolution is still available as an option until the new version is confirmed stable, free of bugs and with a bit more polish.
• The underlying mechanics are still the same, but the battle now has each side divided in 'sections', representing Skirmishers, Center, Flanks (Left/Right), Rear and off-map Reserves. Units can be dragged and dropped between these pre-battle. And moved between some of them during the battle.
• The pairing of combatants is based on the new sections, instead of the old line based match up. Units at the rear (and sometimes flanks) can also use ranged weapons for more of the battle.
• Each 'step' of the Battle resolution is 5 rounds, with a skip-to-end button.
• Units which are destroyed will fade out, and fleeing units are shown with an overlay effect. This should make it easier to see what is going on.
• Casualties taken/dealt are shown per unit in red/green and sums are shown in a summary window.
• The log has been reduced in size from the WIP screenshots, but has been kept somewhat larger than the intended final size, until all issues are ironed out and additional animations make it more clear what units are targeting/targeted by each other.
• Section Orders affect battle resolution, but mostly in regards to how quickly melee is joined and whether flanks try to fight the center or opposing flanks. There is still some work to do in this area.

• Ambient training now much more likely if target is level 1
• Ambient training is now less likely if target is level 4+
• Worker unhappiness event can no longer be skipped by ignoring the notification

• Ambient Character Activity: Faction Divine Wroth may cause characters to make a personal offering (if they can afford it), which has a chance to reduce Divine Wroth.

• Ambient Character Activity: Bards can improve the mood of other Followers and/or remove negative traits (Depressed, Broken).
• Ambient Character Activity: Historians can make breakthroughs giving a randomized Lore Level increases (usually Ancient History - with chance of some others). They can also very rarely risk uncover forbidden knowledge, causing insanity but granting a lot of experience points.
• Ambient Character Activity: Tomb Robbers can decide to raid a tomb/grave yielding a good chunk of Gold for the Faction and themselves, but at the risk of spawning Spirit Host marauders (unless settings specify no Marauders).
• Ambient Character Activity: Architects, Masons and Engineers may gain experience from being at a location being constructed, upgrading or having a site-specific construction/upgrade in progress. They may also speed up the progress of some projects.
• Characters can now react to their Faction having Divine Wroth with their personal Deity/Religion with increased discontent. Non-Heretic Religious-type classes will react more strongly and more often.
