Corrections and Fixes

Humans and scorpions did not take ammo that is inferior to what they currently have
Various bugs with ranged warriors firing down from walls, at enemies on walls, and over walls are fixed
Units could move through buildings and walls when an unbuilt building was placed in front of the built building
Warriors auto attacking discarded orders queued by the player
Ammunition in a scorpion was not restored when loading the game
Trebuchets could automatically run from enemy warriors while deployed
A human would not obey an order to go directly to a tower that had walls connected
Warriors with a spear could attack enemies on walls from the crenelated side in some cases
A human moving along a wall could move over the crenelated side of the wall
A mine could not be built by a mounted human
Carts and oxen ordered to store all resources did not go to multiple stockpiles if necessary
When the 'Flaming Arrows' tech is researched, bow and javelin warriors did not capture enemy buildings when they could
The technology tree's queued tech display second row was incorrectly aligned
Workshops gave workers items to deliver to armories that were not allowed at any armory
When queuing an item by clicking its icon on the Economy->Items tab and no built workshop could make that item, a construct could be queued at a woodcraft
Dogs did not automatically counterattack nearby aggressive wild animals
Captured enemy workshops were missing items researched by the player
The display of allowed item types at an armory did not refresh correctly when changing material display
The mine icon quantity bar could be inaccurate after loading the game
When queuing a bow, sling, or crossbow at a fletcher the ammunition made with the item was not shown in the total counts of items queued

Balance

Humans can carry a maximum of 10 items, one full stack of ammunition, and an equipped item in each slot, regardless of weight
Ammunition now has weight; the weight of ranged weapons is adjusted to not include their ammunition
Ammunition item quality benefits from crafter skill, increasing damage and armor piercing
Catapults and trebuchets can fire at spotted units and buildings over walls, but such shots incur a one-half accuracy penalty
Reduced the amount of stone in rocks
The AI makes a limited number of siege weapons based upon their type and equipment quality
Reduced the bonus damage of rams against gates
Reduced the number of flaming arrows or javelins require to ignite a building
When a mounted warrior gains skill from damaging an enemy, their horse's quality is increased by a fraction of the gain; the 'Cavalry Doctrine' technology increases this fraction

UI/UX

Improved the appearance of the paper background, especially at higher resolutions
When ordering a human to mount a horse, all selected humans are ordered to mount all nearby horses, and the horses move to join with their intended rider
The current number of workers and fraction of resources or items stored displayed on building world icons are hidden for enemy buildings
On the main menu technology tree, the icons of queued technologies are highlighted
Improved the display of skills on the Unit->Info tab when a single human was selected
The 'Select Building when Workers Selected' option applies to units selected by clicking their world category icon
On the end games stats screen, the cursor does not change icons as if hovered over objects in the world
A catapult or scorpion firing from a tower has an 'A' displayed on its world icon
Stone fortifications cannot be marked for burning
