This update brings new rituals, new monsters, boosts to both the Monument of Hades and to Ba'al, improved performance, improved AI and some new convenience features like an End Turn warning. There is also a new 'wilder' setting that results in almost twice as large independent forces. This setting is intended to make the independents challenging even when playing in teams.
