- Fixed issues with troops walking through walls.
- Fixed issue with man-at-arms being able to throw their spear through walls when directly ordered to attack someone behind the wall.
- Fixed issue with ranged units twitching while attempting to target a unit that is out of line of sight.
- Fixed issue with ranged units trying to melee targets that are initially out of line of sight instead of shooting them.
- Fixed issue with ranged units not attacking enemies in range after losing their target due to him walking out of range.
- Fixed various issues with walls (placing towers at tight angles).
- Added "snap" wall placement. Hold down CTRL when adding a new section to an existing wall to either extend the wall straight or perpendicular to the existing wall.
- Fixed issue with not being able to turn off all Chandler Workshops.
- Fixed issue with engineers starting in a T-Pose when their equipment is first placed.
- Fixed issue with peasant models sometimes appearing on top of iron/stone/farms and sometimes being attached to all of your troops.

- Fixed Map Editor crash on exit.
- Fixed issue with waterfalls duplicating themselves in the map editor after saving and reloading. Any user created maps with waterfalls will need to be re-saved in the map editor.
- Fixed the hotkey shortcuts to select the player’s Lord (L) and to cycle the camera to enemy lords (SHIFT + L) to accurately find units belonging to the correct players. (Also applies to other camera/selection hotkeys).
- Fixed Russian, Polish, and Czech text being cut off on some buttons.
- The Windows setting for left-handed mice (left & right mouse buttons swapped) is now used in-game.

Please be aware save games made before patch 1.3.24532 that contain fire will crash when loaded.
