A new nation called Zemaitia is now available for the late age. Zemaitia is a nation of Chudes and humans who have lived hidden in their forests since the Black Knights of Ulm conquered their heartland. With time the Ulmish conquerors succumbed to the dweomer of the forests and became part of the nation. Now the Chudes and humans of Zemaitia emerge from the forests accompanied by antlered knights to reclaim lands once theirs.

There are also a few new features and many bug fixes included in this update. You can now transfer gems of any type quickly via keyboard shortcuts, hover the mouse over a commander and press e.g. alt+f to add a fire gem to the commander, alt+backspace removes a gem instead. There are also new kinds of fay folk that can be summoned as well as a new ability that improves fay folk summoning. And as usual there is some new commands for mod makers as well.
