Additions:

Balance Updates:

  • Consume Soul gets reduced per dispelable active on the caster and its now a ball spell instead of targeted

  • Catacombs of the Dead is rechargeable

  • Passages Ways can only be cast while in Catacombs of the Dead

  • Curse of Haute applies to every minion - minions that cannot turn undead create a spectral tomestone instead

  • Commander of Undeaths' Cleave does extra attacks for each allied spectral tombstone instead of each kill - also has Death's Passageways

  • Spectral Tombstones last for 10 turns Bug fixes:

  • Redo when used by a full cogs player will properly disable it from being used by them again (opponent use to be able to use redo and it affect them as well)

  • Descriptions updated for: Redo, Summon Boar

  • Retribution will not ignore the sand damage cap

  • Sandy Shores removes glyphs when it creates terrain on them

  • A minion who is zombified while mind controlled will not go back to its original owner

  • Herd Mentality will pause the timer like other non-turn ending spells

  • Fixed some issues with Grove/Pyramid collision

  • Monolith/Pyramid upgraded health will reflect their current Sands familiar level

  • Comet does up to 500 damage, as it states and once did (Each projectile creates 5 snow instead of 3)

  • Removed stray pixels from Sacrificial Altar

  • Stone familiar tower reduction checks for subsequent casts, as stated in the description

  • Gift of Giving is now available as a custom aramaddon and can also be obtained from presents

  • Monolith orbs will not heal a minion at 0 health

  • Defned typo

  • Minions will still receive water walking if you have the seas familiar active but no water shield

  • Monolith can fit next to the border

  • Damage calculations for a moving character will be based off their current location instead of the frame before

  • Teleporting from the water without a gate active should immediately update your health

  • Ivan the Frost Giant is back

  • Duplicated Apparition's do not have access to the entire spellbook (if applicable)

  • Tree is not drainable for more health then it currently has

  • Clipping flying minions into other entities should be harder to be used to trap them
