This is a minor patch addressing concerns about the intelligence of AI opponents in single player, both at low and high skill levels. Also included are various quality of life improvements and bug fixes.
- AI Improvements
- On all decrees higher than 0, opponents now always try to play the best move on all rounds.
- Opponents no longer consider player negative movement tiles (from Decree 6) to be defended
- Opponents are more aggressive with checking the player Ruler
- Opponents are more careful to avoid losing pieces to ranged attacks
- Opponents are less likely to place a unit on a tile that the Ruler needs to move to in order to avoid checkmate
- Opponents are now easier on Decree -1, and before the player reaches experience Level 3

- History: Clearing recorded games now immediately activates "No Recorded Games Found" text

- Replaced "selectable" pulse effect for black pieces with a darker one in local and online multiplayer, in order to make them more distinct from white pieces
- Updated tyrant description to make it clearer that it resurrects player units on capture
