Smile Age Of Empires III - Patch 1.05 is out! *Major* fixes!

Hi!

Just found out that ES have released the 1.05 patch.

================================================== ========== ======


__________NEW FEATURES__________


* Added beta version of the new rating system to ESO, Power RatingFor more information please refer to this post.
* Added Stand Ground Formation to the game
Units in Stand Ground formation will not move from their position, even when under attack, but will fire upon or attack anything within their range. Stand Ground formation has been added in response to fan feedback and will give players a new level in control over their armies.
* Attack move button and hotkey added
In response to fan feedback, official support for Attack Move has been added. Military units will now have a new Attack Move button in the interface. Attack Move also has a hotkey which defaults to X but can be changed via the hotkey editor.
* Hispaniola map has been added
This new map is a land mass, surrounded by water, with a large bay on the west side of the island. The bay always contains several whales, so it can be a strategically valuable to control as a source of coin. At the center of the island is a large mountain which provides an obstacle which creates walling options.
* Recorded game playback interface improved significantly
During playback of recorded games you can now see the technologies a player is researching and units they are creating. As well you can see each player’s home city and the cards they are sending.
