This is a quick fix for a problem the occurred when forging unique items in the previous update.

General

• Forging unique items prevented any further forging that turn, fixed.

This is a bug fix update. Most notably it fixes a long standing bug where mages overcompensated when trying to hit fast moving targets, so fireballs should work better against cavalry units now. There is also a bunch of other bug fixes. As for modding, scripted events will now be resolved in a random province order. This should make it easier to create effects that affect a limited number of provinces with random events.
