Zombasite v1.015-v1.019 Patches Released

Soldak Entertainment has been keeping us updated on the release of several new patches for Zombasite and their recently released Orc Schism expansion pack, and while a couple of them have been quite small, there are at least two substantial updates (v1.016 and v1.019).
