It's our first patch since the latest campaign release, and we've got stuff:

• XP got a rework (making it easier to level up new heroes late-game) and XP gain is more visible now after battles.
• Transformed heads (the wolf, crow, & frog) have expressions now.
• Updated promotion screens show you exactly how your hero is getting cooler.
• Localization tech is in! It's now possible to localize the game, which is a huge first step towards.., you know, localizing the game. We'll follow up on that with more info over the next few weeks.
• Plus the piles of bug fixes you know and love by now!

PS- Thanks so much to all the people giving feedback and finding the bugs that we've been able to fix this patch as well. You all keep making this game better, week by week, and we're fortunate to have you.
