• When attacked, units should now only ignore orders (especially move orders) and return to combat when the majority of the unit is in danger and not in cases where a low number of entities face trouble. This should make cavalry in particularly feel more responsive when repeatedly charging, withdrawing and charging again.
  
• Fixed an issue where Mother Ostankya and her Hag Witches would shoot twice in quick succession when standing still.
  
• Giant Spiders and Spider Hatchlings can now make use of a selection of attacks while chasing routing enemies (including hops, skips and cute but deadly nibbles!)
  
• Fixed an issue that was causing multiplayer clients to override the `Guard` and `Skirmish` mode on units not under their control based on their local settings, especially when re-summoned in Domination.
  
• The Skaven 'Power Grab' passive will no longer trigger when the lord is teleport withdrawn in Domination and Survival battles.
  
• Changed the requirement of the Chaos Dwarfs end game scenario objective from only 'Control' to 'Raze or Control' settlements, allowing Beastmen to complete the objective.
  
• The Changeling's unique skill 'Adherents of the Trickster' will now correctly increase the Cultist Hero recruit rank.
  
• Fixed an instance preventing a valid battle map loading when fighting a sally out battle in the Athel Loren area.
  
• The Empire Forts and Oak of Ages settlements will now give defensive supplies when under attack.
  
• Fixed an issue in an Ulthuan Lakes battle map where impassable terrain was being created by a plane of water under the map
  
• Fixed a Chaos Wastes mountains battle map not having a valid playable area.
  

• Fixed an issue with Battle AI melee target selection indecisiveness when in contact with multiple opposing units; as a result they should drop attack orders less often.
  
• Fixed an issue where the AI would assign a disproportionate number of units to hunt down opposing outlying units, leaving a skeleton crew to perform the main assault. We've flipped this so the AI should dedicate most of its force to the main engagement and not send its entire force to chase that one pesky outrider.
  
• Fixed an issue where player units with the transformation ability would occasionally trigger the AI's scouting behaviour. The underlying issue stems from how we handle transforming units, which are actually two separate units that swap places. When transforming, the AI would lose track of the original and assume it had gone into hiding, causing it to occasionally swap into scouting mode to search for Yuan Bo (The Human) while Yuan Bo (The Dragon!) was bearing down on it.
  
• Addressed crashes that could occur with certain units in siege battles where the AI is defending and has units that crumble, disintegrate or otherwise reach a microscopic amount of remaining strength.
  
• Fixed an issue with the previous Hotfix's Wood Elf outpost changes where some garrison units and effects were missing on certain buildings.
  

• Fixed Wood Elves not having unique outposts in notable capitals e.g. Altdorf, Castle Drakenhof (unique outposts have also been added to Wei-Jin and Zharr-Naggrund).
  
• Fixed Nakai's long victory reward (increased Hero recruitment rank) not functioning properly for his faction.
  
• Fixed an issue that prevented the AI from assigning tasks to units during the deployment phase when defending a settlement. This was being caused by the units' strength being significantly lower than their maximum, causing the game to softlock.
  
• Belegar's unique grudge to re-capture Karak Eight Peaks now gives the reward it did in the initial release (An Oath Fulfilled).
  
• Fixed an issue where Gotrek and Felix would gain their magic items multiple times when first spawning.
  
• Fixed the Chaos Dwarf occupied versions of the Empire Fort buildings not displaying correctly in the building browser, along with the amount of corruption they spread per level.
  
• Fixed the Teleport button in the Ultimate Scheme tooltip/popup not showing as inactive when teleportation was not possible. It now also correctly shows the cost of teleporting in the tooltip.
  
• Fixed the Speed & Malice skill not applying to Doom Knights of Tzeentch units.
  

• Fixed an issue where Oxyotl's Visions of the Old Ones missions would target armies belonging to the Changeling while they were hidden.
  
• Fixed an issue that was causing an incorrect modifier to be used in Charge Bonus calculations for the AI on difficulties above Easy.
  
• Fixed an issue where Aekold Helbrass would not spawn with his magic items when controlled by non-Tzeentch factions.
  
• Fixed Nakai not being able to construct allied outpost buildings.
  
• Fixed the mount models of the Bretonnian Wardens of Montfort Regiment of Renown.
  
• Fixed visual issues with the Bretonnian Foot Squire shields.
  
• Fixed missing textures with the Bretonnian Knight's weapons, Knights Errant and Questing Knights.
  
• Fixed an issue preventing Vlad von Carstein from hitting multiple entities with certain melee attacks due to missing splash attack meta data. This solution also resolves similar issues for other related but different units.
  
• Fixed some Scheme objectives not updating their counter until reloading a save.
  
• Fixed a crash when spending a Skill Point on a Mount skill that would automatically unlock (all mount skills now just have one level.)
  
• Fixed Dark Elf technologies that increase Hero recruit rank not applying when Heroes were recruited from a Black Ark.
  
• Fixed the Haichai and Black Pit settlements preventing certain buildings from being constructed in them.
  
• Fixed an issue when using the Invocation of Dazh wherein if the player constructed multiple buildings at the same time, they would only receive one supporter rather than one per building.
  
• Fixed an LUA error that could occur when completing the Changeling's Grand Scheme in the Empire in the Realms of Chaos campaign, which would cause the Elector Counts to not go to war with each other.
  
• Fixed a soft lock that could occur during the Witch's Hut panel scripted tour when jumping to the technology panel.
  
• Clarified text around Nakai's settlement occupation options. When he gifts a settlement, he does in fact sack the settlement as well. The tooltips have been adjusted to make this clearer, as has the effect in his technology 'Sequence of Plunder'.
  
• The Magic Wards of Climate Change commandment for Kislev is now available in any province that contains at least one region that has a Chaotic climate. The effects have also been fixed for Boris Ursus, countering the unsuitable climate penalties rather than the uninhabitable penalties.
  
• Added missing Skaven technologies 'Freaks off the Leash' and 'Brood Breeders'.
  
• Fixed Skaven technologies 'Monstrous Abominations' and 'Unfathomable Horrors' not applying to Mutant Rat Ogre units.
  
• Increased the distance at which Yuan Bo (in dragon form) changes from regular speed to his full charge speed. This was done to help him keep up with faster units which are running away from him, e.g. if Yuan Bo is trying to catch a missile cavalry unit, the increased charge speed will trigger from further away.
  
• Fixed the Changeling building 'Reality Wound' not spawning a hostile army and destroying itself on completion when in an allied settlement.
  
• The Changeling's Grand Scheme in the Empire now causes all Elector Counts to declare war on all other Elector Counts (not just Reikland), even if they're allied. They are also prevented from making peace or confederating each other if controlled by the AI.
  
• The Changeling now gains the forms of Legendary Heroes he recruits during the campaign.
  
• The Changeling no longer gets the form of Ariel for free when defeating the Sisters of Twilight in battle.
  
• The Changeling now gains the forms of Legendary characters in factions he vassalises or confederates.
