Greetings Everyone, We have a big patch today with a bunch of balance tweaks. Also, this patch should resolve any issues players were having with the UD map on older computers. As some of you may have noticed, these patch notes are a little more robust than before. This is thanks to our new Data Change Exporter which was discussed on our most recent Developer Q&A. General There were some players who video cards were unable to render the updated visual effects for the new Underdepths map. Those players will now automatically enter into a "failsafe" mode where the map appears undecorated rather than "all black" Design (General) The race Fesh was changed into Worm. The flat nora cost decrease for large champions (-5 nora) has been re-addressed. Large champion still receive a benefit, but on a sliding scale according to their base stats. This means cheaper large champions may only -2 nora where as very expensive large champions may get the full -5 nora. 204 champions received cost changes ranging between 1 and 4 nora. Abilities Aggregate (new ability) Whenever this unit takes damage, all units with this ability also take damage. Ritual of Destruction Ritual of Destruction will now deal the proper 10 damage as stated in it's text instead of 15 damage. The source for damage dealt by ritual of destruction is now the unit that died rather than the unit with the ritual ability. Skeezick Rebel Name Change: Skeezick Rebel(was Skeezick Rebellion) Soul Summon Morsel Fixed issue that was causing the Tasty Morsel to be summoned on an adjacent space. Description: Spend 1 Charge. Summon a Tasty Morsel within 4 spaces. Rover: Judgement Description: This champion has Judgement when it is not within 5 spaces of a font or shrine.

Worm Lord Name Change: Worm Lord(was Creep Master) Description: All friendly Worms and Arthropods that move within your deployment zone have Siege and +2 def. Units deployed in this zone gain the benefit at the end of the turn. Necrosis Name Change: Necrosis(was Creep) Description: When this unit is deployed from the runedock at a Shrine or when this unit destroys an opposing champion with a basic attack, your shrine's Deployment Zone expands by 1. When this unit is destroyed, or a unit without race Arthropod or Worm is deployed, your shrine's Deployment Zone is reduced by 1. This effect does not increase the size of the Shrine bonus and cannot decrease the shrine's Deployment Zone below 3. Cast: Cauterize Description: Target injured champion within 3 spaces takes 10 Fire damage and is Inhibited (This unit cannot be healed or regenerated) and Defiled.
