=== Combination Artifacts ===
Combination artifacts in my opinion have too little variety. If I can get any piece of Angelic alliance, I'll always use it; and the only viable end-game artifacts are the Ironfist, Armor of the Damned and Angelic Alliance (because Dragon Father has 27 pieces to collect and Titan's Thunder has no real set bonus). 
:+ {{An|Armageddon's Blade}} is now a '''new combination artifact''', comprised of Shield of the Damned, Sword of Hellfire, Breastplate of Brimstone and the Hellstorm Helmet.
:+ {{An|Sword of Hellfire}}, {{An|Shield of the Damned}} and {{An|Breastplate of Brimstone}} have sliightly more verbose pick-up text now. 
:+ {{An|Power of the Dragon Father}}: Grants complete magic immunity. // ''This should feel a bit better for how damn rare it is.'' 
:+ {{An|Titan's Thunder}} spell deals 100 dmg + 50 * Spell Power. On top of that, equipping the set removes negative effects of the components. // ''Now the set does *something*'' and is in many ways a counterpart to Armageddon's Blade the way Ironfist of the Ogre is to the AotD. 
:- {{An|Angelic Alliance}}: Cost of all pieces increased to 1250 per 1 to any stat. 
:- Angelic Alliance components provide 1/2/2/3/3/4 to all stats, instead of 1/2/3/4/5/6. // ''Aphra, if you want to revert it, here's the offset: 0x23e7dc 02020202030303030303030304040404 -> 03030303 04040404 05050505 06060606. In my opinion these artifacts are still healthily unbalanced (+12 total? +16??) 
:- Angelic alliance allows mixing units from all factions, but only for the hero equipping it (instead of good units and stronghold and fortress on all heroes always, was it intended?). 
:+ Angelic Alliance casts prayer for 50 turns, instead of 10 (matching other combination artifact spellcasting). 
:- {{An|Ring of the Magi}} is no longer a combination artifact. It's instead a Major class artifact which reduces spell cost of all spells by 2 (similar to how Mage's special ability works). // ''I don't know how to add new artifact sets for now; because of that, I had to remove one combination arti. Ring of the Magi seemed the most useless. 

{{An|Elixir of Life}} is a bit too common for my taste - we've all seen Lexiav casually get it from crypts and such by day 2. I also find it peculiar how the progression is 1/1/2 instead of a more intuitive 1/2/3 (especially since 3 HP isn't particularly broken).
:- {{An|Ring of Vitality}} is now a Minor class artifact. 
:+ {{An|Ring of Life}} is now a Major class artifact, +2 HP to all units, cost 10000 
:+ {{An|Vial of Lifeblood}} is now a Relic class artifact, +3 HP to all '''living''' units, cost 15000 

{{An|Wizard's Well}} was re-balanced simply because of how it defeats the purpose of having a high mana pool. 
:+ {{An|Charm of Mana|Charm}}, {{An|Talisman of Mana|Talisman}} and {{An|Mystic Orb of Mana}} replenish 3/5/7 mana points per day extra. Cost changed to 750/1250/1750. 
:- Wizard's Well regenerates 50% mana per day 

And finally, some very weak artifacts were buffed. 
:+ {{An|Cornucopia}} gives 7 of each rare resource per day (total).
:+ {{An|Statue of Legion|Legion's}} set pieces increase growth by 8/6/4/3/2 . Cost to 10000, class to minor/minor/Major/Major/Relic.
