The Editor got support for Rumors, Daily Events and special Victory and Loss conditions. These were missing features that are present in the original game. The team used different design of dialogs in comparison to the original Editor to make it more user-friendly.
Daily event dialog.
Besides fixing several issues in the Editor and adding missing parts we also made multiple improvements. First of all, the team redesigned the hero selection window in the Editor. No more scrolling through similar icons.
New convenient hero selection dialog.
Secondly, we started adding new content to the game. As a start, the team added a missing part of the Sphinx and a new variation of the adventure map Cave object.

In the original game Sphinx missed a small piece of head. A new Cave for hiring Centaurs is available in uniform design now.
A brand new feature now available in the Editor is the ability to restrict the construction of any building in towns and castles. This gives a lot of flexibility for map makers to design maps with unique gameplay conditions.
You can ban any building or upgrade now.
The AI was updated as well. We reworked all bonused the AI had in the past and reduced them significantly to have a fair play for AI. This aligns with our goals: we want difficulty level affect only AI behavior without giving it any perks.
Additionally, we fixed few places in AI logic.
Special conditions for winning and loosing scenarios are available now.
As usual, the team updated multiple translations, improved various UI elements and closed over 40 issues since the previous release.
