This is a big patch, containing a considerable number of user experience improvements and fixes - especially in tactical battles.
As well as all of the fixes and minor improvements, this patch also brings you 3 new units:
- Bloodhounds: If you can sate the bloodlust of Von Telvich (Ladvia unique unit), he will reward you by letting you use some of his pets in battle.
- Cataphracts: Help the Boruvian Empire to take back their rightful lands from the upstarts of Berany, and you will be able to field this fearsome heavy cavalry unit
- Hospitallers: As the Boruvian Empire, crush the rebels of Galeni and you will be rewarded with a new knightly order.
