    Fixed a few out-of-sync situations that could occur during gameplay and replays

    Really excellent. Replays going out of sync has been an ongoing issue and it’s so bad for trying to learn from your games.

    Slightly Reduced Villager Train Times

    Sounds pretty good to me

    Kronos: Timeshift duration of Temples increased from 20 seconds → 40 seconds.

    Oof. That’s a huge nerf to the Kronos rush. Especially the semi-fast Heroic variant where you transport in, get a small number of units to attack, and transport back out to get up to Heroic.

    Amount of XP required per tier for Bushido changed

    Interesting changes. The nerfs are probably warranted, but making the last tier come earlier is an interesting counterbalance to that.

    New Moon (God Power): Can now only research up to 3 free technologies per cast, prioritizing the most expensive ones.

    A really disappointing nerf to one of the most interesting technologies. But admittedly it was an extremely strong power.

    IMO it would have been better to slow down how quickly it acts a bit, and to increase its recast cost.
