Those who have dealings with the gods of Aetolia should be interested in
the changes reflected in HELP DIVINEFAVOR.
HELP QUARTERMASTER and HELP TRADE outline a change to the war system.
Briefly, commodities for new recruits are now handled through the
quartermaster, a division of the war ministry in cities. This is a
stepping stone for including other groups in warfare, as well as for
adding some interesting new options to the business of commodity supply.
In addition, many bugs have been fixed recently. Some noteworthy bug
fixes and other miscellaneous changes include:
-Numerous clan membership bugs
-Might now cures slightly different afflictions
-Vampire minions can no longer suffer critical strikes
-Errors with grove gate were fixed
-Digging will no longer break your shovel if you're morphed into a form
that can dig.

jungle
-Grove lightning no longer works on targets who are indoors
-Some instances where thrown objects would not land on the ground, now
do
-People who have recently performed aggressive acts will be denied
entrance to safe rooms.

-A bug where someone could perform two balance-using attacks at the same
time was fixed

Dominaton skill
