I'm not sure if I can get the Horse/Golden Dragon done in time or not though .

Relax, I still have a few bugs to fix before a new release.

I think I am not going to end the songs in time too. 3 or 4 is enough? And the rest (6) for future releases?

I'll try. Which new buildings are included in 0.8.5?

About 0.8.5 new buildings… I have no idea! But 0.8.4 has “new” buildings with no description yet. Here is the list:

Units: All boats.

Buildings1: Shipyard (also description for boats produced here), Frost Dragon Lair, Healing fountain (fountain of life research), Death, Life, Fire and Ice Rune (Dwarves can extract runes from here, it shows a little bar when AI does that. Perhaps player can do that, I didn’t try it yet), Minotaur Statue (quests, or it will be), Rare Gold/crystal/metla/stone mines (wbc1 mines. Stone and metal will need a little editing on artwork?), wall of ice and wall of thorns (this last two are fixed I guess?)

Buildings2. This list is something I have no clue what descriptions should be. We must wait and see for further lore, perhaps: cave, spire, frozen tower, orb of seeing (except for spire that has some damage, all others may or may not have units/researches).

Buildings3. All Dragon’s buildings (with tower): Alongside with future buildings, these are currently waiting to start their adventures!

There will be no new buildings in 0.8.5. And I would disregard building list 2 and 3 (and the runes and minotaur statue from 1), since I will modify those in future versions anyway.

Is there some more bugs with the WBC1/2 tilesets?

Erasing Patch.xcr helps obviously. Your Scnearios are great, they should be on the next release. That also inspired me on making some for a final campaign for the future and some bugs were found. I am trying to make a scenario with Pyramid-Sand, Pyramid-Walls, Sand Bridge. The first two have no “tiny picture” (and that really helps). Sand Bridge is an enigma so far… I can’t actually make a Bridge out of the 4 samples provided.

Sorry I didn't upload this sooner (time isn't on my side at the moment ); here's all the latest stuff I've done/gathered. It includes the unit balancing, maps, unit AI, tower changes, production changes (including restricted generals, but these can be changed easily if not wanted) and renaming (excluding Summoner>Diabolist).

Is the final version ready? There are some bug fixes that I'm delaying until the final version is out.

Not quite, sorry. It will be ready soon though and with many of the new units included .

Feel free to add them in the repository, replacing the old files. Afterwards I'll get to fixing some army-related bugs. Do not forget to edit the changelog when you're done.
