  • Reduced level of all rivals by 1.
  • ALL items now reduce scouting cost by 1.
  • Fast map completion quests no longer count dark tiles blocked by walls or water, but have lower requirements.

  • Heavenly Sight spell now recovers 5 times the energy and spell charges (was 6).
  • Level drain spell now recovers 3 energy (was 4).
  • Increased loyal golem bonus to 80% scouting (was 70%).
  • Slep: now gains 2 (was 1) piety from skipping dark tiles, but no longer counts impassible tiles.
  • Slep: "Nightfall" no longer counts impassible tiles.
  • Slep: piety gain for exploring tiles while at max energy replaced by piety per each energy point gained beyond limit.
