Added achievements
Many changes to what tutorials are shown when and what they contain (overall: less tutorials)
®New main menu™

Lava texture effect added under Custom Types
Town square texture added under Custom Types
Chasm texture effect added under Custom Types
Decorations like grass and bushes are no longer drawn under bridges
Greatly reduced the number of skeletons on Barya’s ground textures
Fixed issue causing decorations like trees not to be properly spawned when drawn on terrain chunk edges
Fixed issue with decal materials causing visible Z-fighting when drawing in the map editor
Make it possible to use any troop or wielder as a speaker during a dialogue
It’s now possible to remove a hostile mid-game using the Kill Hostile trigger
Add team game criteria "Faction" for checking a teams faction
Add an option to select sub layout when generating a random map
Add an option to select win conditions when generating a random map
Add an option to export minimap with icons representing Towns/Settlements and Spawnpoints.
Forced AI players will no longer be counted into the Player Count of the map when selecting a map (requires a re-save of the map before it’s applied in the map editor). e.g A 3-player map with 2 forced ai players will now be counted as a 1-player map.
Make the Gold Mine change its artwork slightly depending on the faction of the ground it’s standing on
Added a multiplier to income generators (e.g Gold Mines)

Enable non-battling players to move and interact with objects in online games while others are battling. Non-battling players will be able to perform all actions, except starting a battle simultaneously with someone else.

You can now see starting locations when selecting a map in the lobby and when you are working on your map in the map editor
Fix an issue where graveyard treasure wasn’t automatically rewarded after a victorious battle (you had to click again).
Reduce the size of save games with better compression.

AI budgeting is sub-par, and affects town building and army recruitment mostly. Makes it hard to break out from some maps (sometimes)
