Hi folks,
Here is a long overdue official roadmap for EFBS!
These are the big milestones planned for the time being:

Update 0.8 - Steam Workshop/Mod Support: create, publish and download custom characters. UI overhaul.
Update 0.8.5 - Undead faction complete overhaul (I'm not too happy about the undead faction right now, feels like it doesn't meet the other factions standards in terms of look).
Update 0.9 - Cavalry units (with 3rd person gameplay on horseback), new maps.
Update 1.0 - Siege battles with dedicated maps featuring castles, fortresses and citadels.
Keep in mind this is subject to change as the development goes along, and 1.0 doesn't mean there won't be anymore updates after that :)
Here are some ideas i'm currently thinking about for updates post 1.0 (not promising anything, these are just ideas at the moment):

Heroes
Mod support for custom maps (this is a tricky one, not sure the game engine could handle it properly)
Campaign / Alternative game mode involving tactical gameplay
Let me know what you think, as always I'm open to suggestions :)
I wish you happy holidays, see you soon!

Patch Notes:

Elves roster:

Elf Duelist
Elf Shieldmaster
Elf Swordmaster
Elf Guard
Elf Archer
This is only part 1 of the update. Part 2 will add another faction and map, and should come out very soon, but still needed some polish. So I thought I'd release the Elves now, rather than make you wait for the full package.

Patch Notes:

Fixed a bug where multiple units were spawned at the same location during deployment.
Diminished the visual square pattern effect on squads:

Increased the individual unit position offset during deployment
Added a subtle run speed randomization for each individual unit

Improved target distribution, preventing navigation bottlenecks: Squads no longer just pick the closest enemy squad as target. They now communicate with each other, and try to distribute the targets evenly. Here is an example:

Starting situation (blue squads are in Attack mode, red Squads are in Hold mode):
Before Patch: Most squads are stuck, staying in line, waiting for their turn to attack
After Patch: Squads are spreading to cover more ground
