[-] The 12 months time limit remains, disable it at your own risk, as AI invaders may not come if later, and game will not be winnable.
[-] In last battle, Commodus will kick your a$$ if you did not play well.
I strongly recommend to play with Yona mod, which will give very handful informations in battle.
Secondary skills mod must be OFF, or you will not be able to forget/learn new skills.
Wogify is ON
