Patch 1.3.X
"Ponies at the Ready" Patches in the 1.3.X were released from November 2018 to April 2019. They featured both fixes, as expected, as well as many new content releases. Some of the larger patches got unique names similar to major patches.
Two notable events in this time period include the release of the Man the Guns expansion for HoI4 and the first April Fool's update in Equestria at War's history (on the previous year's April Fool's day was the release of patch 1.0).
Currently, only two patches from the series are still available for download from ModDB. One is version 1.3.4, the final one released before Man the Guns expansion. The other is the non-sequentially numbered April Fool's update version 1.4.19, which was likely spared due to its uniqueness. All other versions were overwritten either by 1.3.4 or 1.4.0.3.

🍞 "Riverlands: Breadcrumbs" 1.3.3 🍞
South of the Imperial Heartlands, two nations once stood as the beacons of stability after the fall of the Empire. But this peace was not meant to last.
The Kingdom of Brodfeld grapples with a devastating civil war against the communist insurgents. The years have claimed countless lives, in the name of country and ideology, and both sides are reaching their breaking point. If the war isn't concluded soon, the people will suffer tremendously and its vast fields will lie barren. King Kloseu de Kissau, however, is confident in the final victory. All it takes are some decisive actions and necessary sacrifices.
Meanwhile, to the west, the mountain shadowed County of Blackhollow suffered a hostile takeover, led by the notorious Blackrock. Styling herself as the Queen of Brigands and Outlaws, her primary goal is enriching herself and her loyal band, everything else is secondary. The people have no choice but to live under their extorting claw, yet hope lies on the horizon.
Breadcrumbs adds a new focus tree for Kingdom of Brodfeld and an entirely remade focus tree for the Blackrock Bandits.

1.3.5 "Brothers' Feud"
Released on 2019-03-08 with checksum 1cba
🐃 “Brothers' Feud” 1.3.5 🐃
North of Equestria, north of the cold Crystal Empire even, lies the ancient homeland of the Yaks. These traditionalist beings have managed to maintain relative isolation and independence from the encroaching powers beyond the mountains. However, Yakyakistan was once an empire stretching beyond its current borders. Now, even what is left of the country has divided, rallying behind two opposing princes, Rutherford and Bradford, each claiming to be the best leader for all Yaks, or Jaks, as Bradford prefers to call them. Far away from the peaceful ponies of Equestria, a battle of brothers is brewing…
While the Yaks concern themselves with land warfare, the rest of the races know the truth; Power is Sea Power. The Equestrian Royal Navy has protected the Ocean Blue for many centuries, sailing between the continents to escort Her Majesty’s many merchant vessels. The Changelings, ever inventive in their lust for revenge, seek new ways to break the Equestrian hegemony without running out of the black gold required to run their panzers. While in Griffonia, the memory of the Imperial Standard flying over her proud battleships is but a distant memory.
This is, however, but one of many scenarios which might happen in our world. Historians have asked themselves time and time again: What if the Idol of Boreas was never lost? What if the ancient dreaded fortress of Magehold was infused with powers more ruinous than ever before, and her necromancers would threaten all living beings? Perhaps, we can find out…
This is sort of a beta patch. There may be bugs, oversights and balance issues. But the mod is playable now!

The Crystal Empire has only resurfaced a few years ago, but the nation has been forced to adapt to the modern times. Many pleasant things have come of this, but with the growing threat of war, even the Princess of Love has been forced to call her ponies to arms. Equipped with powerful rifles and protected by their snowflake-pattern helmets, the new model Crystal Army prepare alongside their friends from Equestria.
To the north, the Changelings gather their strength. The fearsome dark bugs gather at the border, eagerly calling for their commander to initiate the invasion. Their equipment, their panzers, no, their very being was superior to the cheerful ponies. They denied the hive what was rightfully theirs, but soon, the swarm would punch through the pony lines and the voice of Harmony would be silenced forever.
