Optimized the ground-effect indicator radius of the [Zealot] active skill [Dies iræ] so it now matches the actual area of effect under different target counts.

Increased the number of ladders on the outer wall; added a new set of ladders outside the left [Supply Point].
Adjusted the broken wall location on the inner wall.
Adjusted interior Supply Point placement: added a new Supply Point inside the broken wall and slightly adjusted the Supply Point just inside the main gate.
Conqueror's City (Territory War):
Adjusted the flag position of Base Camp and the nearby Supply Point location in attacker's side .
Adjusted one interior Supply Point position. After the attackers capture it, a new respawn point will unlock nearby.
Fixed an issue where capturing the central objective did not unlock a new spawn point for the attackers.

Optimized the rename flow: after using the item to open the rename screen, a Cancel option is now available; if you choose not to rename, the rename item will be returned to your inventory.
Optimized the Specialisation UI: Skill Points are now displayed on all tabs.
Fixed an issue in [Reginopolis] where corridors near the main base area blocked the [Empire Chariot] from passing through.

The speed for entering the [Emperor's Expedition] perspective has been increased. You can now use the mouse scroll wheel to adjust the camera height while in [Emperor's Expedition] mode.
Cavalry movement during [Emperor's Expedition] mode is now less likely to be blocked by intended targets or allies, allowing for smoother navigation and more effective damage against enemies.
The attack interval for [Sacred Verdict] has been reduced, and both the target acquisition range and attack range for [Sacred Verdict] have been optimized. Additionally, during [Sacred Verdict], the unit will no longer prioritize previously attacked enemies.
Normal attacks from the [Order of the Dragon] as well as attacks during [Sacred Verdict] will now trigger the effects of [Epic Combat Doctrine] based on the number of targets hit.
