Here's at least some of the things that were fixed or changed for this release:
Since Release 2:
Increased the range of 2-handed spear, so noone can get close without triggering interrupt attack.
Fixed the console log description text saying that the character has dodged while knocked down.
Getting attacked by ranged opponent in diagonally adjacent square resulted in player spinning around and turning back on attacker.
Fixed: "Have a skill maxed at 300, for example, swords. Equip a sword that give a bonus, like a gladius, and it will allow you to "add" points to the skill (but in reality those points are wasted, since the skill stays at 300). It shouldn't allow you to do that."
Fixed a crash caused by starting a dialogue again (after the final conversation), then trying to load a game.
Fast and precise shots were available for crossbows with the "help" of shortcuts.
Attacks of opportunity and spear interrupts don't work through the obstacles anymore.
Made town music looping.
Fixed displaced GUI screen switching buttons (alchemy, character, etc) in the inventory screen.
Fixed a nasty TGE's bug when reloading the game could crash if you've interrupted it when particle emitters were working.
Added WASD as alternative camera controls.
Fixed accumulating criticals when a projectile gets retargeted.
Fixed: the line of fire is shown as clear when you aim, but when you fire the projectile hits a wrong target.
Stray arrows do not fly through the building walls anymore.
Fixed a crash at saving/loading screen when some savegame has too long filename (over 27 characters). Buffer overrrun . Give your saves shorter names if you're using R2.
You could escape dialogue anytime using 'I' or 'C' keys.
Changed the "To Hit Chance" formula.
Changed axes' split shields chance.
Changed throwing weapons and daggers' passive trait from "ignore armour" (DR set to 0) to "hit a weak spot" (DR is cut in half).
Aimed attacks' and passive weapon effects' descriptions in textbox do not start with "Critical Strike!" anymore.
Added an effect for critical strike + aimed torso attack combo: ignore armour completely (DR set to 0)
Minimum melee attack speed is now 2AP.
Modified ammo types effects: removed damage modifiers, added CS modifiers, tweaked DR modifiers.
Nets: added penalty to defence, doubled movement cost, changed THC formula.
Lowered Dodge counter-attack chance.
Fixed a bug which allowed you to counter-attack the character, who is normally out of your weapon range.
Fixed a mistake, when missing a knocked down character with your ranged weapon was reported as "dodge".
Now you can block/dodge only 4 attacks per turn without penalties; each subsequent attack in the same turn will be progressively harder (extra 5% bonus to THC) to block/dodge.
Fast/power attacks influence a chance to score a passive weapon effect.
Left-clicking the weapon slot shows a "chance to score a passive weapon effect" info in the textbox.
Taught AI to use nets.
Added cool items that do nothing mechanics-wise, but are still cool
Tweaked spearman AI a bit.
Added more precise collision mesh to character bodies. One of results is that you don't have to point at character's legs to loot his body any more.
Added quicksave (F5) and quickload (F9) functions.
Gave some weapons the ability to split shields.
Counter-attacks are less common with two-handed weapons.
Some weapons increase their passive effect chance.
Shields no longer give increased block, but they reduce the chance of splitting.
Made some minor changes to weapon damage.
Because of the numerous changes to item properties and game mechanics, savegames from R1 and R2 won't work anymore. The game won't let you load them.
Made combat music looping.
Fixed ranged fighters' positioning problem.
Moved configuration file from game's subfolder to My Documents\My Games\Age of Decadence, to avoid problems with filesystem permissions on Vista/Win7.
