Multiplayer changes

57 units changed for multiplayer battles: 3 cheaper, 14 dearer in multiplayer cost, the rest with battle-stat or ability changes only. Multiplayer cost, unit caps — the game's, which belong to unit sets (unit_set_to_mp_unit_caps: a unit's own set here, every changed set below), and main_units' per-unit multiplayer_cap (multiplayer_qb_cap is the quest-battle cap) — and battle stats; campaign cost and upkeep are left out, and so are units whose only change is a race's roster (Custom-battle rosters). Cheapest change first.

Multiplayer unit caps

The caps Custom Battle's Unit caps setting turns on (always on in ranked battles) belong to unit sets — one unit type with its versions, or a group such as Heroes — in unit_set_to_mp_unit_caps, with their units from unit_set_to_unit_junctions. 1 changed from 9.0.2 to 9.0.3: the most of each a single army may field, the units it covers, and units that joined or left a set.

Custom-battle rosters

Units a race fields in custom and multiplayer battles from 9.0.3 that it didn't in 9.0.2, or no longer fields — the rows of units_custom_battle_permissions, every faction of the race counted. An extended-roster unit (campaign_exclusive) is fielded with Unit caps off only, never in ranked battles.
