The patch notes for the v1.5 patch that's coming out free around the same time as the new DLC is quite impressive.  I especially enjoyed this section of the errata, which is about 10 screens down from the top.

QuoteHalflings


1. Halfling Pony Riders inadvertently received twice the intended amount of melee physical attack upgrades on medal upgrades. This has been corrected.
2.  Halfling Pony Rider now has 65 hitpoints (was 55)
3.  Brew Brother melee attack is now 11 (was 7)
4.  Halfling Jesters now get Inflict Scorching Heat on their ranged attacks on Gold, because the Explosive Death doesn't actually do anything if you keep the unit alive.
5.  Halfling Bard now has a Slingshot instead of a Light Crossbow.
6.  Halfling Monster Hunter now has fireworks instead of a Light Crossbow, costs 80 gold, 25 mana (was 70 gold, 20 mana)
7.  Halfling Exalted now have (base) 50 hitpoints (was 60) like the Exalted of other races.
8.  Halfling Monster Hunters now have (base) 10 defense (was 11) like the Monster Hunters of other races.
9.  They've had me trapped down here for weeks, forcing me to write patch notes for them.
10.  Halfing manticore rider now gets Fast Healing on Veteran (was a duplicate of inflict crippling wounds)

Halfling Jesters now get Inflict Scorching Heat! Sounds Good and Beefy.

I'll be beta testing the Linux build this weekend. :)

Can Linux multiplay with Windows players?

Are we going to run a GH AOW 3 MP match once the DLC hits, chape?

Yeah, multiplayer is cross platform.  I don't have any plans to buy any dlc yet though so I wonder how that works.

I'm curious to see if the EL expansion will do anything about the game being a race to the top-tier units for all factions.  Would really like to see things balanced out so that the lower-tier units are more worth recruiting in the mid-late game.

Didn't Golden Realms make it that much of a better game? Or are the regular patches responsible for this?

I thought the expansion added some cool stuff.  Not just more content but some new features too.  Sounds like the second expansion will do the same.  O0

I don't know, I didn't buy that one either!

I played several MP games.  W8taminute had the DLC and we were able to play up to what he had.  The other mp games I played we were not able.  So, if the host has it, or maybe if just one of the players has it, everyone should be able to play it in mp.

Hm, Frostlings and Tigrans, two of the missing factions...

I haven't bought any of the DLC, but I have been reading patch notes on what comes out with the patches, and I think they moved to fairly aggressively nerf the L4 units.  They tweaked the costs (some combination of the techs, the buildings, and the units themselves) but also reportedly opened them up to specific counters tied to particular units or spell types.  Wish I'd played enough to be able to vouch for that, but I believe those changes got introduced to the base game back when they released the first DLC.

Incidentally, here are the notes for the pending 1.5 update (it will be available for/applied to the vanilla version of the game as well): 

http://ageofwonders.com/forums/topic/update-v1-5-patch-notes/



It's...quite the list.  The number of changes, additions, and bug fixes is beyond huge, beyond ridiculous.  I'm thinking this will be a good thing.
