Skill / Weapon Balance
Reduced the Accuracy penalty of Wood, Bloodwood, Bone, Carapace, Akron, Copper, and Wrought Iron Greatswords from -20 → -10.

If you left a previous dungeon without picking up the Soulstone, or if the member carrying the Soul died, the Soulstone can still be purchased as long as the requirements are met.

Pathfinding wait requests for enemies in combat are now processed in order of highest Movement Speed first.

When multiple units are selected, clicking a unit behind a building now prioritizes selecting that unit.
When using a Return Scroll, dead Expedition Members currently being carried will now return with the party.
