= Changelog =
 
== Artifacts ==
 
Some artifacts appear in every single game, no matter what your hero, faction, or strategy is: f.e. pieces of the Angelic Alliance, Necklace of Swiftness. Some artifacts
are so utterly broken in terms of stats that they render whole secondary skills useless (Pendant of Courage). At the same time, when it comes to final artifact builds,
often times players end up choosing the exact same set - Angelic Alliance, Ironfist of the Ogre, or Armor of the Damned, along with an Elixir of Life, provided they can
get these, and no wonder - these are by far the best sets in the game. Titan's Thunder's set bonus is a joke, while Power of the Dragon Father requires 73 pieces, only to
be outclassed by Angelic Alliance anyway.
 
Apart from that, I consider Interference Stacking to be a significant issue for the game - Ignatius at level 4 with 3 artifacts can reduce enemy mage's power by 75% (!),
while Giselle at level 17 reduces power of any hero she encounters to 1, provided she has the aforementioned artifacts. In my opinion, Interference (and Giselle) are not
the problem; it is the fact that each separate source of interference is stronger than the one before (as it reduces a higher % of remaining Power). To combat this, I
brought all 3 artifacts to the same power and made them slightly less common.
 
At the same time, some artifacts are utterly useless, especially for their tier. I made them slightly better, where appropriate.
 
- Pendant of Courage: +2 Morale, +2 Luck. Cost: 6000.
- Necklace of swiftness is a minor class artifact, cost 5000.
- Plate of Dying Light decreases enemy power by 10% and is now a Major artifact (cost 5000)
- Charm of Eclipse and Seal of Sunset are now both Major artifacts.
+ Endless sack of gold is now a Major artifact!
+ Eagle Eye artifacts increase Eagle Eye % by 10/20/30% and don't require the Eagle Eye skill.
+ Archery artifacts work without the Archery skill.
 
=== Combination Artifacts ===
+ Combination artifacts state their component effects!
+ All pieces of combination artifacts now mention their belonging to a set in their description!
+ 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.
+ Power of the Dragon Father: Grants complete magic immunity. // This should feel a bit better for how damn rare it is.
+ Titan’s Thunder spell deals 200 dmg + 40 * Spell Power.
+ Ring of Life is now a Major class artifact, +2 HP to all units, cost 10000
+ Vial of Lifeblood is now a Relic class artifact, +3 HP to all units, cost 15000
+ Cornucopia gives 7 of each rare resource per day (total).
+ Legion's set pieces increase growth by 8/6/4/3/2 . Cost to 10000, class to N/N/J/J/R.
+ Charm, Talisman and Mystic Orb of Mana replenish 2/3/4 mana points per day extra. Cost changed to 1000/2000/3000.
- Wizard's well regenerates 50% mana per day
. Cloak of the Undead King raises Skeletons / Walking Dead / Wights / Bone Dragons. // ''Now I know what you'll say: "Csaros, this is broken! Surely you meant to nerf the cloak!"
If you think so, calculate AI value per hp resurrected and consider how necromancy calculation works - how often do you fight enemies above 150 hp? What about 30 hp?''
- 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??)
in the game and I'd rather have Teapot or the Shield of Courage above anything else, maybe with the exception of the Fire / Earth Book.
- Angelic alliance only mixes good units for the hero equipping it (instead of all units on all heroes always, was it a bug?).
- Ring of the magi is no longer a combination artifact. It's instead a Major class artifact which increases Power and Knowledge by 2 each. // ''I don't know how to add new artifact sets for
now; because of that, I had to axe one combination arti. Ring of the Magi seemed the most useless. Current bonus is as it is because no other Ring gives +4 to stats, but some rings
have a chance of being equally / more desirable, f.e. Ring of Oblivion, Still Eye of the Dragon, Ring of the Wayfarer, Ring of Suppresion. If you have other ideas how to repurpose
this frankly useless artifact, please give me some advice.''
 
 
 
== TOWNS ==
 
I didn't want to change too much; all I ended up doing was slightly alter cost of particularly weak / strong buildinds to make building choices have a little more
complexity, create some QOL and fun changes and tried to keep up the beauty of some symmetries the game possesses, without interfering too much with balance.

Version 1.4.a changes

  • [+] Added a new option to separate TP to belong to Water and Earth magic, and DD to belong to Air and Fire magic.
