• New artifacts have been added, including regular, composite, and set artifacts, but the framework needs to be further developed for them to appear on the map.

For reference:

Patch version 2.6:

• A function to remove the camera limit on the global map has been added.
• A function "Dynamic Battlefield Size" has been added. The size of the battlefield dynamically changes depending on the number of army stacks.
• The "City Gate" spell has been added, allowing you to teleport to a selected city. It can only be learned at level 20, having Magic of Summoning level 2 or higher in a random/random cities on the map.

• An error in the script for assigning the name NCF to the creature "Secret Archers" (471) has been fixed.

Patch version 2.6.1:

• Errors in the scripts in the campaign missions "Ruler of Erathia", "Duncan", "Laslo" and in the scenario "Diplomat" have been fixed.
