Animal predators can now auto-attack villagers.

Glad to see this is back! A lot of people were disappointed when it was removed at the start of Retold.

Ra: Monument area empowerment no longer affects other monuments.

It was a fun trick to be able to do, but probably too powerful, so this is a good change.

While the Spearman buffs were welcome for Set & Isis, it created problems in certain matchups like against Norse, who relied heavily on raiding cavalry to help deal with the Egyptian barracks army. Transitioning the spearman more into a generalist infantry (similar anti-cav potential as before the previous patch), but bulking them up to be more pop efficient this way they can still function as a good frontliner.

Am I missing something? The changes were:

• Damage reduced vs cav
• Cost increase
• Train time increased

No “bulking up” occurred.
