     - Newly generated chunks are now processed regardless of current active surface
     - Neutral death events that aren't cliffs are no longer processed
     - Added support for AbandonedRuins mod
+    - Victory scent is now processed regardless of current active surface
   Tweaks:
     - Increase chance to upgrade an enemy structure from 5% to 30%
     - New enemy regional bases that have two factions now do 75% on one faction and 25% on the faction for building and upgrading enemy structures
