  messages.

• The battlefield grid has been fixed.

• Destroyed local enchantments sometimes
  still displayed.

The following are new to the game:

• The maximum number of mods has been
  increased to 100

• New monster modding commands: #magicboost
  and #castledef.

• Can now mod different looking GUIs for
  individual nations.

• Shape changing god automatically begins at
  a low HP form.

• #selectitem accepts numbers.

• Assassination victims override a retreat
  order.

• Improved error message if a mod needs to be
  installed to play on your turn.
