• Battles are animated: units march, strike, loose volleys and batter the gate. Reduced motion in Settings turns this off.
• Pictures can be replaced with your own images: see Adding artwork.
• End month is now in the top bar, always in view, and shows how many of your cities are still waiting for orders.
