The change to timers in battle completely ridiculous and does not fit at all in any way in a turn-based tactical game in which you're supposed to plan carefully, not be forced to do something because you're fighting a clock.
The change to make food/potion buffs last longer is actually good, though.
All these rest of the changes sound tedious and time-wasting to me, but if someone wants to make a mod for it, have fun.
