❖ Luck, in addition to its standard effect, now affects the chance of random on-hit attacks (such as Stone Gaze, Aging, etc.).

❖ Refuse unwanted Secondary Skills. If you receive a level-up, and don't want to take either of the offered skills, simply accept the hero level-up window (by clicking the Accept button, Space or Enter) without choosing any of the options. Your hero will not receive any of the unwanted skills then.

Pumpkin Patch changes that were reverted for "MKC options":

❖ If spell changes are not mentioned in the Spells section - then they were undone.

❖ Movement cost of TP and DD has been increased by 200.

❖ Ivory Towers can now spawn on any terrain in the RMG.

❖ Power of the Dragon Father: Grants complete magic immunity.

❖ Ring of Vitality is now a Minor class artifact.

❖ Ring of Life is now a Minor class artifact, +2 HP to all units, cost 10000.

❖ Vial of Lifeblood is now a Major class artifact, +3 HP to all living units, cost 15000.

Comments. PotDF becomes similar to red orb, it's a very good buff (and this set probably needs a buff) but it makes the gameplay more cut and dry. Which is something that I'd like to avoid. Also it removes the Sacrifice spell interactions with PotDF, which is a unique thing about this set. Ring of Life and Vial changes will mainly buff the Skeleton doom stacks, so it's not a good idea for 1 hero Jebus-like templates.

❖ Genie cost reduced to 500 (by 50). Harmless change but also unnecessary.

❖ Lizardman and Lizard Warrior have their Attack and Defense skills swapped. That was the identity of this unit / faction, and I don't want to take that away.

❖ Power Lich cost was increased to 650 gold (by 50). This unit doesn't need any buffs or nerfs.

❖ Air Elementals and Storm Elementals are susceptible to Meteor Shower and Implosion, but immune to Lightning Bolt, Chain Lightning, Titan's Lightning Bolt. Established identity of unit / spell interaction, I'd rather not touch those unless it's really needed. In this case it's not. It makes more sense for Air units to be susceptible to Fire attacks.

❖ Earth Elementals and Magma Elementals are susceptible to Lightning Bolt, Chain Lightning, Titan's Lightning Bolt, but immune to Meteor Shower and Implosion. Same as above. But also doesn't make sense, because IRL Earth is something that absorbs lightning.

❖ Fire Elementals can fly. I mean it looks like they can fly, but actually they hover, just like Air Elementals. Also gameplay wise it's a bad idea to have summons that can fly over the walls. A nightmare scenario considering that they can only be countered by Ice Bolt / Frost Ring.

❖ Phoenix's speed reduced to 19 (by 2). Established unit identity.

❖ Chaos Hydra's speed increased to 8 (by 1). Established unit identity.

❖ Enchanters cannot cast Slow or Haste, but they can cast Curse and Fortune. The chance for each spell is equal. Mass Slow and Haste should have 1 turn hard limit. So it's no longer that scary.

❖ Octavia starts with a spellbook and the Curse spell.

❖ Synca starts with a spellbook and the Haste spell.

❖ Monere specializes in Logistics, starts with Logistics and Interference.

❖ Fiur specializes in Ballista, starts with Artillery and Offense.

❖ Erdamon specializes in Armorer, starts with Armorer and Estates.

❖ Nerf to Slayer specialty for Coronius. He's yet to show his power (if there's any).

❖ Learning XP gain increase reduced to 10/20/30% (from 20/40/60%). I'll leave to players to decide if they think Learning needs a nerf.

❖ Learning specialty now provides a 20% bonus per level.

❖ Cloud Temple no longer requires the Golden Pavilion. Cost increased by 5 wood and 5 ore. Originally I wanted this change, but after some time pondering the idea, I went with the classic build path. However if Mage Tower wasn't bugged by Hota I could probably come up with something interesting here.

❖ Mausoleum requires the Tomb of Souls instead of the Graveyard.

❖ Dwellings of the base elementals now cost 2000 gold and 5 wood / ore for the base dwelling, and the same amount + 4 of a rare resource corresponding to their element for the upgrade (identical to the prices in the Magic University). I think the original cost works just fine and makes sense from the visual perspective of how Buildings look in the game.

❖ Overlords, Barbarians and Mercenaries can learn Water Magic, but the odds are very low (1/112). Beastmasters and Rangers can now learn Fire Magic. Odds are very low (1/112). 1 point of Wisdom chance removed from the appropriate classes. This is a very huge change, Barbarians that can have expert Teleport? Especially on Duel where you can reliably buy Magic Schools in Conflux every game. The others though, sounds relatively harmless.
