Balance is barely half this patch. A large engine update went live a few weeks ago, which seems stable by this point, and this patch includes some remaining fixes. The default music has also been changed to a track list created by the player Superintendent (look ingame under Settings/Audio). Several other community members also contributed features and fixes over the past few month, there are so many that the features overflowed into three headings.

Because sometimes I find myself wanting to manipulate selections in some way, without a good way to do it, so add it. In this case the application is retreating damaged Minotaurs without picking them out via Ctrl.
