Tribal Chiefs
- Prestige: This attribute begins at 0 and changes through various actions and events. Positive prestige reduces recruitment costs and diplomacy costs/thresholds, but increases the cost of giving gifts. Negative prestige has the opposite effect.
- Call Great Hunt (action): Summon the clans to participate in a great hunt. Depending on prey chosen, a succesful hunt can yield gold, influence, followers, etc. while a failed one can result in injured or even dead followers and/or guests.
- Added various random events and quests to the Religious Festival action, the nature and outcome of which varies depending on the deity/religion chosen. These include: Good Omens (Unrest reduction), Portents of Doom (Unrest increase, Unit stat buffs), Ritual Combat, quests forbidding or demanding various actions, Demonic Possession, Gift of Undeath, Blessings, and more.

- Clan Marriage: Now has a small gold cost representing dowries and/or bribes.
- Chieftain's Abode/Warlord's Abode/Warlord's Grand Abode/Tribal Palace/Grand Tribal Palace: These camp upgrades no longer increase influence per turn. Instead they give a one-time prestige bonus (which is lost on destruction/downgrade).
- Brewery: This camp upgrade now gives +1 influence per turn.
- Trophy Mounds: Cost changed from 2000 gold to 100 spoils. Also gives 5 prestige on construction.

Other
- Rival AI will prioritize recruitment much higher if all their armies have been defeated.
- Rival Wizard AI will now reserve a more reasonable amount of mana when there are unclaimed mana nodes.
- Armies can no longer engage in battle on ocean and lake hexes.
- Low-Life Recruits now reduces Unit cost by 15% (up to 500 gold) rather than 500 gold. This also prevents the cost from becoming negative.
- Cities can now be razed as an alternative to conquest or plunder. This requires a sufficiently large army relative to the city size, and will take 2-8 turns depending on the relative size of the army and city.
- Reduced the chance of marauders, pirates and similar events.
- Patrol province is no longer enabled by a site under siege.
- Slightly reduced save game size.
- Optimized many internal calculations. This will be especially noticeable on 32-bit systems.

User Interface and Graphics
- Marauders, monsters, pirates and other unaligned armies now have a distinct army sprite.
- When recruiting, missing resources no longer causes the "Recruit" button to be grayed out if the player can afford the missing resources. The missing resources and cost to purchase them, are shown in the tooltip for the recruit button, if applicable. This saves the player from closing the window, going to the market window, buying the resources, re-opening the military window and then navigating to the relevant unit type.
- Desertion/Attrition due to missing upkeep now includes a tooltip showing the upkeep of the relevant units.
