NOTE: While this patch should be compatible with older versions of Renaissance Mod, saved games may see anomalies with a few units (Koatl Shamans, High Koatl lord, and many ratmen units). If your saved game includes a number of these units, you may wish to start a new game.
NEW CONTENT
=============
A new branch of koatl caster units are available to all factions. The base unit, Koatl Ritualists, requires a 'Barrow' resource node to build. Additionally, all koatl units now have the 'Dragonslayer' perk {+50% damage to dragons}, allowing all units in their ranks (including koatl lords) to act as hard counter to dragons.
Similarly, ratmen units of the Monsters faction have received an overhaul in which the original units have all graduated to a higher tier. A new tier 1 creature-class ratmen unit has been added, while Ratmen Pirates now function as the tier 3 divine unit for Fervus. Combined, these changes offer additional upgrade potential to this entire line, breathing a bit more excitement into the Monsters faction.
