[+] Fixed a bug: some information about the winning defending hero in online play would not be updated (including secondary skill display)

[+] Fixed a bug: during the hero's turn, the AI incorrectly accounted for the shipyards with heroes visiting

[+] Fixed a bug: when building a Necromancy Amplifier, the AI accounted for the number of Necromancers (by hero class), but not the number of heroes with the Necromancy skill. In particular, the Death Knights were ignored

[+] Fixed a bug: The AI could buy more than 8 skills at the University (also at the University of Magic in Conflux and at the Seafaring Academy), and also kept buying skills until the money ran out (without evaluating whether the skill's utility exceeded the cost)

[+] Fixed a bug: The AI tried to block shooters with hypnotized units (although in fact such blocking does not interfere with shooting)

[+] Fixed a bug with the ability of the AI to consider a destroyed wall intact and continue to defend the castle, even with a destroyed wall

[+] Fixed a bug with the gate hex abuse: if the gate was open and the enemy was standing on it (outside the castle), then the AI did not attack such an enemy, although it was possible to do this without leaving the castle. In addition, now the AI, attacking squads that have flown into the castle, will not position its troops so that the gate opens

[+] Fixed a bug: AI-controlled heroes' spells were not reflected by the Magic Mirror

[+] Fixed a bug: the AI didn't account for the possibility of triggering the Magic Mirror for Chain Lightning

[+] Fixed a bug: the AI didn't account for the Fairy Dragons' innate Magic Mirror when calculating the hero's casting value

[+] Fixed a bug: when evaluating the Magic Mirror's magic value, the AI did not account for the effect being lower for Fairy Dragons

[+] Fixed a bug: high Armorer, Air Shield, and other similar bonuses reduced the creature's value in the AI's eyes all the way down to 0

[+] Fixed a bug where "first creature health loss" was not reset after the stack was killed. This could bring the creature's full health to negative values, which hypothetically could spoil some of its AI checks

[+] Fixed video playback bugs and interruptions in the main menu

[+] Fixed a bug: when a creature moved in combat, there was no rerendering after removing the creature count retangle, so a part of it could remain visible while moving

[+] Fixed a bug: after taking damage from an obstacle in motion, the first frame of the stack's resumed movement could be rendered incorrectly, similar to the first frame of rotation after a stack's cast

[+] Fixed Resurrection bug: for creatures with a long death animation, it didn't play to the end

[+] Fixed a visual bug: if a stack passed or stopped on a hex in front of a gate, it would open even if it wasn't passed through

[+] Fixed a bug in the log when casting Weakness during Serpent Fly retaliation

[+] Fixed a bug: the log now shows the correct amount of health restored by the Elixir of Life

[+] Fixed a bug: an extra empty message was displayed in town events if the text and resource changes were not customized
