This update is mostly focused on improved performance, especially for battles in very large games. So if you are running a large game you can expect turn generation times to be faster, as resolving battles usually take up most of the time. There are also a whole bunch of new commands for modders as well as some bug fixes and general improvements. For online games using the network lobby, there is also a new setting that enables all players to alter the time until next hosting deadline.
