Issues surrounding the display of enemy movement range previews in campaign.
Court & Orthodoxy becomes significantly more difficult to balance after confederating your opponent.
Reports of support stuck at 100/100 and not receiving boons.
Matriarchal power achievement not unlockable using the new invocations.
PERFORMANCE
Resolved an issue causing potential frame stuttering on certain machines, as well as occasional video frame skipping in the main menu.
Fixed a possible crash on the end battle screen.
Fixed a crash that was occurring when loading the game.
Fixed a crash that would occur when completing the Ritual of Rebirth in the Gryphon Wood during a Wood Elven Co-op campaign.
Fixed a crash when accessing the Ice Court.
Fixed a crash caused by loading a save containing the tier 3 church building from pre-Kislev rework. Any instances of the tier 3 church will be replaced by the middle option in the new building tree for the churches.
