HERE are the patch notes. It's a big list. Lots of performance enhancements.

Make sure to check out the full list, but heres the parts that I think affect MP the most:

4 new multiplayer maps:
• Aki
• Hida Mountain
• Flood Plains
• Sanriku Ria

User interface
• Fix for cards getting stuck to cursor
• Made selected cards more recognizable
• Added timer to special-ability buttons to display cooldown in minutes/seconds when mousing over
• Modified drag-out behaviour so if user holds CTRL while dragging out units, they will walk to destination

General fixes/changes
• Tweak on Alt-F4 fix
• New weather gameplay effects added: Fog now causes a range penalty to all missile units, and causes non-commanding units to be hidden at a distance of 600m or more, even if they are out of cover
• Adjustments to morale calculations, dependent on who is in control of an army and in what context. Allows for fine-tuning of morale calculations separately for single-player humans, multiplayer humans and AI armies

Bugs

• Alt-F4 problem fixed. When any player disconnects from a matchmade battle, they will accrue a loss regardless of whether they are the host, or not. The player disconnecting will also suffer a 5% penalty on their ELO rating. The player not disconnecting will receive a win. It is, however, possible that wins accrued in this way will not update correctly on the leaderboard and avatar stats. All other gains from the win do work (eg unlocking of units, clan points, ELO skill rating etc)

• Enemy avatar customisations are now viewable in battle
• Bug where team matchmade battles always use small funds has been fixed
• Veteran unit speed upgrades are now working
• The ‘Hold firm’ clan speciality has been fixed
• The ‘Scares enemies’ clan speciality has been fixed
• Bug where matchmade battles sometimes result in incorrect battle type has been fixed
• Occasional soft lock in ‘opponent found, arranging battle’ has been fixed
• Various fixes to the matchmaking system and networking code
• Ability to delete hero units has been removed.
• Ability to clone veteran units has been fixed
• Bug where players randomly drop ELO points has been fixed
