Temporarily (or maybe permanently) reverted the default command back to "move" (see entry dated 2018-01-27).

Hotkey changes:

M -> H (Show console/chat history)
H -> T (Toggle team chat
T -> Z (Cycle between store units)
M is now the hotkey for "move" when units are selected

Changed default mouse right-click command: attack! (pressing "a" not needed anymore); "m" key can be used for "move".

I play-tested this earlier tonight. It takes some getting used to and I'm not convinced yet it makes things better. We'll get more feedback.

4 new tactical scenarios were added / Thanks @ Julie Marchant

  • Witches' Hunt
  • Native Unrest
  • Warlock Overlords
  • Death Road

#13 Observers no longer take up slots on a map. For instance, a map being played by 4 players can have a 5th person observing; a map being played by 8 people can have a 9th person observing. Up to 10 people can connect, which mean you can have up to 6 observers with a 4-player map, and 2 with an 8-player map.

There are some details to be worked out, but this feature seems to be stable during testing. See the ticket (link above) for more information.

2018-01-24

#6 Players can now enter the multiplayer lobby unconditionally (i.e. "InternetGamesAllowed" will no longer be used)

2018-01-14

[#1] Replaced the Egypt graphics with Archmage's remaster: https://github.com/virtushda/EgyptRemaster
