In polish version of the log I saw quite a big list of changes, one of them is that Vampires won't drain life from the undead anymore. So I suppose there will be more changes than those few listed there, I guess the ones mentioned are the major ones.

Noooooooooe! Oh well, that was gay anyway. Since when were Vampires ever supposed to absorb from the undead besides Heroes V?
And we're getting more than nothing. We're getting the exit combat button as requested as well as two more maps. You can't have your cake AND your Ice Cream.
Once again, I will say that a map editor is months away, and you can forget about a random map generator. My brother is a programmer, and he says that the way that they have programmed the computer player makes it a logistic nightmare to create a map, because it makes no decisions on its own. To get the "AI" to even remotely resemble that of the previous Heroes games would mean re-programming the entire game, the computer on every map is hand-crafted. 
With that said, the biggest issue I want resolved will most likely remain a problem no matter how many patches are released.

Excelent! Mind you, this is a patch, and expectations should be considered with that in mind. I expect the real balancing (where needed) to happen with the expansion. Anxious to see the camera...

Thank You!!!!
Thanks for the translation. I believe that this patch takes care of a lot of problems. Tis a great start, just late.
Also, those two "new" maps are not new. They were supposed to be included in the original game, but I guess the AI sucked (and still does). Nevertheless, I'll take it.

you know what?? all i really care about (for the moment) is MP. think about it....if it is stable and we can play online, then who cares about the AI? nival can work on the AI and take their time with it while everyone is having fun playing a stable MP for the first time. new creatures, maps, balances, etc. those can be perfected for an expansion, that hopefully wont take too long.

- Multiplayer should work correctly.
I'm still laughting at this phrase... I'm a programmer and at work the word "should" doesn't exist: it works or it not works.
Besides this, I'm waiting too for some more balancing between the factions. Btw this seems a good patch, a lot of fixes

I think the word "should" is in there because they have not the time to test it correctly. After all, in programming, if you fix an error, that error may trigger other errors in other sectors, which is why that even though I'm sure Nival has a Christmas list of problems, they won't be able to fix them all in one patch like everyone expected them to.
