Where do we stand at the moment? Any more changes we feel need to be made or are we close to wrapping up testing?

Again, still haven't had much of an opportunity to play beta 1.9... However, from what I've seen everything seems to be pretty good. I guess the only change we need to make now is decrease the manor build time back to what it originally was.
Ottos are still up in the air for me to be honest... I'm starting to think that maybe the range change makes them too difficult to play in mid-late Colonial, and maybe we should look into adjusting the cavalry/artillery multipliers instead of decreasing their range. But it's looking like we won't have much of an opportunity to test this, so I don't really know where it's going.
Edit: We also need to remove the Janissary change from the patch notes as it was not implemented in the patch anyways.

Additionally, I think colour changes + audio changes should be made optional... I think people will get too worked up over them to be honest.

Now are we moving manors to +3 seconds to help nerf their boom, or are we removing the nerved manor build time all together? Right now I have it to +3 seconds.
I added a +1 to Tomahawk melee attack. This means they kill cavalry 1 hit faster than a musket, and returns tomahawks to pre-patch stats.
Removed the janissary change from the notes.
Color changes I agree, and as you can tell are easy to remove.
Not sure about the voice changes, I for one think it's an improvement since they are professional voice actors hired by Ensemble, and it's the true language unlike the fake imaginary language ES gave the units in the American copy. That's just me though... Again not a hard change to make and it makes the download and install a ton faster.

I propose removing the 3s longer manors and calling the patch done? I am pro new voice acting also.
