This update offers a rebalance of naval battles with goal to offer a more smooth progression for players of classic mode. Before, the balance was more realistic, closer to history, but it was observed that it caused spikes in difficulty for most players. Furthermore, the "Classic mode" in enabled by default when you start a campaign, while the scaling of AI is optional.
One other aspect of the patch is the addition of cavalry in campaign battles, following the successful testing of cavalry units in the previous patch.
