: You can manually choose your version by right-clicking the game in your Steam library, selecting "Properties," and then navigating to the Betas tab to select your desired version from the dropdown menu.

: Reverted certain weight and build changes for NPCs to prevent "overweight" characters from appearing too commonly, while keeping specific high-tier units like Falxmen unchanged. How to Manage Game Versions

: Corrected an issue where marriage offers in the barter menu could include the same hero multiple times with different spouse candidates.
