Patch 1.0.2.26

  • New Spell: Cold Blood (Frost). Powerful unit buff (Hardy, Fearless, +4 Discipline, +2 Toughness, +1 Melee Skill) with per-turn mana upkeep.
  • New Spell: Nether Gate. Can be used to teleport armies between Death Mana Nodes, Dungeons (Undeath/Spirit type and/or sub-type), Cities with Mausoleum/Cemetery/etc, Ancient Pyramids, and similar sites connected to the netherworld. You cast the spell to create a gate at a site. Armies get a special action if at a site with a gate (and there are valid destination gates).
  • Expanded the use of clickable links to cover more tool tips. Some of these link directly to the Encyclopedia.
  • Mercenary units now tend to have higher starting Experience levels, and can potentially (but rarely) have very high Experience levels.
  • Player Advisor will now suggest creating constructs.
  • Demolishing a Temple now causes Divine Wrath.
  • Building a Temple in a City or Fortress now grants Divine Favor.
  • Followers Window: When in Inventory Mode, you can switch selection without the mode switching away.
  • Fixed an issue where Independent Realms could build new sites in a rather obnoxious way that violated normal territory control mechanics.
  • Succubus units now have Melee Avoidance - a new ability which grants a dodge roll against melee attacks.
  • Advisor/Administrator/Elder class characters now give additional bonuses when assigned to the Advirsor Office.
  • Deities Panel (Faction Window): Worship/Offering buttons are not active if there are no valid followers for the current selection.
