just after a quick look ingame this patch list is far from complete
On top of cosmetic changes (town icons) there appear to also be "some" bug fixes ..
-Blessing of Arkath now does damage - sometimes even recorded in the combat log (didn't test it with Academy hero yet to see if it also charges up Metamagic stat similar with casting gate building)
new features:
-can choose to keep warmachines out of the fight (useful)
They seem to have REALLY buffed warmachines. (greater base damage/heal values) and also some of the hero ATTACK attribute is applied to the warmachines and also the DEFENCE attribute.
