Essential improvements
Patches
- The latest version of the game is also the expansion - Winter Of The Wolf (1.50q). The latest non-expansion version is 1.50g.
- Patches for the non-expansion game are available. The page falsely states there is a 1.50q (Winter Of The Wolf) patch while it's the 1.50g patch for the original game.
