This makes neutral creatures less undervalued.
The law/chaos values of spells have been reduced to avoid the more extreme swings in the law/chaos balance. There are some other general improvements. Trees, blobs and tangle vine are used more effectively. Illusion casting and disbelieving are managed more sensibly. There are various improvements to the AI. A new line of sight system has been implemented which uses deterministic rules allowing you to determine LOS in any situation. Magical attack spells are more likely to be included in decks. Wizards now have the ‘Undead Slayer’ ability. The Vampire and Skeleton have reduced Magic Power, and the Vampire is a little bit more difficult to cast. A rematch will cycle the turn order as usual (if you were the 1st player, you would be the 2nd player in a rematch, and so on). The turn order is now randomised (except for 2 vs 2 matches) and does not depend on the order that players joined the lobby. Maps have been tweaked and there are several new 2 player maps. This adds variety to the game play for each of the existing maps. Mana Sprites have 5 sets of deployment positions of which one is selected randomly at the start of battle. In a 4 player game the 2nd player gets 4 MPs, the 3rd 8 MPs and the 4th 12 MPs. In a 3 player game the 2nd player gets 6 MPs and the 3rd player 12 MPs. In a 2 player game the 2nd player gets 12 MPs. 
Subsequent players in the turn order start with some mana points.
It does not currently work on iMac/Linux, but we are working on a fix for this. A fantastic looking new terrain rendering system has been implemented, which uses a technique that blends textures on edges and creases in the terrain hexes.Animation is missing for the Lion and there are no sound effects for any of these new creatures. New creatures spells have been added, but are incomplete - the Hellhound, an undead 3-headed beast that has a paralysing stare ranged attack - the Lion, which has the ability to leap up or down 2 terrain levels - and the Pegasus, which is a flying mount with a sacrifice ability.The league ranking system is implemented, allowing you to play ranked games and win medals in each monthly season.Here is a summary of the additions, improvements and fixes for version 0.25:
