Spellmasons changes
Update v1.49.3
New champion modifiers, a new spell that allows you to sell your unwanted spells for more SP, and lots of fixes and balancing.
Changelog
New Content
Add 3 new Champion modifiers: Curse Immunity, Unstable, and Double Damage Thanks Hex Obsidian for the "Displace" Champion Modifier idea Thanks Xulqulyat for "Curse Immunity"
Add "Sell" spell which allows you to exchange spells for SP Thanks to @Vintage the skulldog, @Xulqelyat, and @Cake
Balance Changes
Remove random discount on Runes. Based on community feedback, discounts encouraged un-fun min-maxing where players would wait for the perfect discount, leading to regret when buying without one. Instead, we'll focus on providing more ways to earn extra SP.
Optimizations
Improve Siphon Spell (Bogiac's Spells mod) to not lag the game
Community Servers now have a unit and pickup limit (1000 and 500 respectively) to prevent crashes affecting other players.
If the limit is reached, dead bodies will decay to make room for new units; if there are no dead bodies, extra units beyond the limit will be merged. I believe this will result in a happy medium of non-crashing servers and also not affect the gameplay for players who want to push the game reeeeeeally hard.
Self-hosted servers (LAN or otherwise) have no limit and you can push it to the absolute limit of your available CPU and memory :)
User Experience (UX)
Show mana cost for clones of taught spells Thanks @Brian for the suggestion
User Interface (UI)
Improve mana badge icon
Major Fixes
Determine rune cost on client Fixes "runes being undone" issue in multiplayer
Bug Fixes
Prevent Connect from targeting already targeted units (improves spell effectiveness)
Dead units no longer block spawning
Clones now use mana when casting
Fix audio for Ancient
Prevent Goru and Priest from resurrecting decoys, which confused players who assumed decoys were allies Thanks @Yasu
