Intro

Being members of online community, we had multiplayer mods as a starting point for the balance of our MP Evolution patch. The main one was MP mod 1.7 by Frall and Gandalf_DK, so the patch changes are listed against it. For those who aren't familiar with MP 1.7, its own changelog is presented in the end of this document, so you can trace all the changes back to uPatch 1.4.

MP Evolution changelog

1.5.148 (November 24, 2011)

Bugs

• Oily skin / Taunted / Fire weakness bug has been fixed
  Due to a stupid mistake, Taunted was making units weak to Fire instead of Oily skin.
• Drain will no longer protects from Drain will
• Possess now protects from Possess
• Possessed no longer gives willpower to units with Will drained
• Rounding error in ranged Atk height bonus calculation has been fixed
  In most cases height bonus was lower than it should have been.
• Getting elemental immunity as a medal upgrade now heals the corresponding elemental status
  Before this fix it was possible for unit to be (for example) poisoned and immune to poison at the same time.
• Undead + Swallow whole bug has been fixed
  Undead ability now prevents units from being poisoned after being swallowed.
• [Editor] Crops + void bug has been fixed
  There is a very tricky bug in the editor, that could corrupt the map and make it impossible to load if some city's crops were placed on the void. Though we failed to reproduce it, the fix has been applied to make sure that even if the bug occurs again, editor will be able to load the map correctly anyway.

Abilities

• Snow concealment now hides units on ice as well as on snow

Magic

• Swarm
  • Duration ↑4 (was 3)
    Because Swarmed status inflicts damage only on the start of new round, it actually worked only 2 times instead of 3 if inflicted by Swarm spell. So we increased duration by 1 round in order to give the spell the effect it was designed to have.

Units

• All undead units, Bone dragon
  • - Poison immunity

Interface

• Installer creates "Root Directory" registry value if it doesn't exist
• Corrected some descriptions and log errors

• Editor: wizard customize bug has been fixed
• Recursive ability masking crash has been fixed
  Situations when two abilities were masking each other (directly or through another ability) were leading to a crash on selecting unit that had both abilities. Now conflicting abilities are both masked successfully.

Random map generator

• Massive wastelands issue has been partially fixed
  If one of the players is undead, RMG still can make wasteland the main terrain of the map, but players' domains should be "colored" with friendly terrain no matter what.
• Options to disable start in underground / shadow world has been added to the game settings
  UG/SW starts are still enabled by default. Note that changing these options require restarting AoW.

1.5.120 (May 15, 2011)

Wizard skills

• Summoner
  • Mana bonus ↓10% (was 20%)
  • Research bonus ↓10% (was 20%)
  • Summon pop up chance mod ↓175% (was 225%)
  • ↑+3 (was +2)
  • Research ↑600 (was 450)
  Combined with reduced amount of spell in Specialists' spellbook, Summoner became overpowered in first 1.5 version.
• Survivalist
  • ↓+2 (was +3)
  • Research ↓500 (was 600)
  Is way less effective than Merchant.
• Pacifist
  • Exp mod ↑30% (was 0%)
• Peace keeper
  • Research ↓600 (was 650)

Cities

• Mana races bonus
  • outpost: ↓5 mana (was 10)
  • village: ↓10 mana (was 20)
  • town: ↓15 mana (was 30)
  • city: ↓20 mana (was 40)
  Mana shouldn't be infinite after all, even for mana races. And when anyone else have reduced access to mana, mana races feel unique enough even with their original bonus.
• Wizard tower II
  • Research bonus ↓+10 (was +15)

Magic

• Mighty meek
  • Has been moved to Common (was Cosmos)
  Doesn't really fit in Comsmos sphere.

Units

• Ranger heroes
  • can get Snow wanderer as an upgrade
• Glade runner
  • - Mountaineering
  • - Cave crawling
  • + Free movement
  Allows glade runner to move without penalty through snows and swamps as well.

1.5.115 (May 2, 2011)

Global

• Domain borders are no longer displayed

  Displaying domain borders had only a negative impact on both gameplay and game logic. Now when they are not visible, heroes (and wizards) can finally use concealment abilities; also scouts can no longer get information on heroes and wizards by seeing the domain from far away.

  Messages are still displayed when unit enters or leaves domain (makes sense that creatures can feel presense of wizard's magic field, even if it can't be seen).
• Bying unit costs more than producing it in a city
  • level 1: x1.25
  • level 2: x1.5
  • level 3: x1.5
  • level 4: x2.0
  This change compencates the fact that units in recruitment sites and friendly patrols don't require time to be built and are not limited to the races of player's cities. Therefore, hiring units was way more effective than producing them, which we considered as a big balance flaw.
• Magic catalyst gives 250 research (was 150)
• New exp gaining formula
  

  Level - level of killed unit
  MedalLevel - victim unit level (0 for base, 1 for silver, 2 for gold)

  Killing leveled up units is somewhat harder, and therefore should be rewarded more generous.
• Ranged attacks distance penalty
  • New formula
    
    Distance - number of hexes between the shooter and the target
    Atk - Attack value of the ranged ability
    MaxRange - Maximum range of attack in hexes
  • Mounted/Hero range penalty is ignored when DistancePenalty is calculated

  First change has been made to differentiate attacks with the same range, but different Atk value - for instance, Hurl bouldrer and Fire pistol. Now more accurate attacks suffer less distance penalty.

  Second change has improved shooting abilities of heroes and mounted units. Reduced shooting range is an adequate penalty for being too fast, but reduced range value was also used in DistancePenalty calculation and was lowering the attack value severely. Now mounted shooters still have their range cut down, but it doesn't affect the DistancePenalty.

Spellbook

• Research progress is no longer reset on switching to another spell or skill
• New Cosmos mechanics
  • Cosmos spells have been made available for Cosmos wizards only
    • Cosmic spray
    • Cosmos mastery
    • Enchanted weapon
    • Magic fist
    • Magic servant
    • Mighty meek
    • Power leak
    All these spells are quite powerfull and share the 'cosmos theme', so they have been made a Cosmos exclusive, to improve this sphere as well as to make Specialist spheres more unique.
  • New sphere - "Common" - has been added. Spells of this sphere are available for all the wizards regardless of their sphere choice. Following ex-Cosmos spells belong there from now on:
    • Alter node
    • Banish summoned
    • Bind summoned
    • Call hero
    • Disjunction
    • Dispel
    • Double gravity
    • Freedom
    • Recall hero
    • Summoner's aura
    • Shadow lock
    • Shadow shift
    • Shadow walking
    These spells are more generic and suitable for all the spheres, so they are still available for every wizard.
• Spell research limits have been changed:
  • Specialist wizard can learn all spells of his sphere (was 5 of each level)
  • 4 sphere picks allow to learn 6 lv1 spells (was 5)

  Formerly it was impossible to get more than 5 spells of each level of particular sphere, which lead to Fire, Death and Earth wizards not having all the spells they should have (some spells of level 2 and 3 were randomly thrown away). This problem is solved now.

  Also, Cosmos wizards with 4 sphere picks can get 6 spells of this sphere instead of 5 - it has no use in standart resources, but follows the logic of cosmos research restrictions and can be used in custom mods.
• Spellbook random manipulation
  • The chance of getting a spell now increases depending on how many sphere picks Wizard has for the spell's sphere.
    • 0 (Cosmos/Common spells) - x2.0
    • 1 - x1.6
    • 2 - x2.0
    • 3 - x2.91
    • 4 - x4.0
    • 5 - x4.0
    • 6 - x4.0
    First, this change makes Cosmos/Common spells appear less often, which improves spheres specialization. And second, sphere pick balance of Cosmos wizards now has impact on probabilities of getting spells of particular spheres. For example, Fire x4 / Death x2 wizard will have twice more chances to get a Fire starting spell than a Death starting spell.
  • Following wizard skills affect chances of getting corresponding classes of spells:
    • Enchanter: +200% chance to get enchantments
    • Summoner: +125% chance to get summon spells
    • War mage: +125% chance to get battle spells
  These new features affect all 3 spellbook random points:

  • generating available spell list at the start of a game
  • selecting pre-researched spells wizard starts with
  • selecting the next spell after previous one was researched
• Unused research convertion rate is lowered to 30% (was 100%)
  Unused research to mana conversion was too powerful, especially in combination with research races. It has been balanced against producing merchandise, which makes the similar thing - converts unused production to gold.
• Chance of getting level 4 spells has been increased

  Probability of getting level 4 spells didn't match logic of 1-3 level spells - it had probably been lowered for the sake of singleplayer and campaign. As a result of that, level 4 spells appeared in multiplayer very rarely, so we have increased chances to get them a little.

  New weights for spell randomization (1/2/3/4 level): 1000/750/500/250 (were 1000/750/500/150).
• Valid starting spells list has been changed
  • Fire
    • Hell hound
    • Fury
    • Blazing comet
  • Water
    • Lurker
    • Water walking
    • Venegeful vapor
  • Air
    • Zephyr bird
    • Haste
    • Suffocate
  • Earth
    • Dire boar
    • Stone skin
    • Stoning
  • Life
    • Unicorn
    • Bless
    • Shooting stars
  • Death
    • Black spider
    • Dark gift
    • Death ray
  • Cosmos
    • Enchanted weapon (as well as starting spells of picked spheres of course)
  A lot of spells have been removed from valid starting spells list, leaving only the ones listed before. Basically, wizards will for sure get a level 1 summon as a global spell, basic enchantment as a unit spell, and a basic damaging battle spell. No more stuff like Freedom and Holy light at start.

Terrains and movement

• New slowing down effects of terrains
  • Snow: move cost ↑6 MP/hex (was 4)
  • Ice: move cost ↑6 MP/hex (was 4)
  • Swamp: move cost ↑6 MP/hex (was 4)
• New movement abilities effects
  • Following abilities disable movement penalty of swamp (making units spend 4 MP per hex):
    • Swimming
    • Water walking
    • Liquid form
  • New ability - Snow wanderer - increases movement speed on snow and ice
    • Level 1: 4 MP/hex
    • Level 2: 3 MP/hex
    Crusader ability was sacrificed to create the Snow wanderer. Of course, Snow wanderer doesn't provide willpower and has been removed from Chapter's house (which gives units Willpower from now on)
  • Free movement
    • 4 MP/hex on swamp, snow and ice
• Level upgrades for movement abilities
  • Forestry II
    • 3 MP/hex through vegetations
  • Mountaineering II-VI
    • -1 MP/hex per level
    (8 MP/hex for level I; 3 MP/hex for level VI)
  • Tunneling II-VI
    • -1 MP/hex per level
    (8 MP/hex for level I; 3 MP/hex for level VI)
• Haste can't drop movement cost lower than 3 MP/hex
  To prevent abusing with Cave crawling, Snow wanderer II etc.

Global map sites

• City garrisons (and therefore starting armies) can contain monastery units
• Nodes give increased bonus to Cosmos wizards (+2 power per matching sphere)
  For example, Fire x4 / Death x2 wizard will get +18 power from a Fire node and +14 power from a Death node.
• Mana piles
  • Low: 15-25 mana (was 25-50)
  • Normal: 25-40 mana (was 50-75)
  • High: 40-70 (was 100-150)
  Mana piles size has been reduced to make mana less available to races without mana bonus.
• Arena training cost is lowered to 2.5 gold/exp (was 5)
• Defenders and recruitable units of some sites have been rebalanced
  • Recruitment sites
  • Gold structures
    • Income structure
    • Farm
    • Water mill
    • Furnace
  • Nodes
    • Life
    • Death
    • Fire
    • Water
    • Earth
    • Air
  • Production resources
  • Watch tower
  There are a lot of bugs that have been fixed; here's just the most noteable ones:

  • Angel in the average fortress
  • Steam tank in the average marketplace
  • Watch tower without archers
  • Incarnate at death nodes and magic catalysts
    Could be bought easily.
  • Recruitment sites defenders strength
    Defenders were unreasonably weak compared to the strength of what's possible to get inside recruitment sites.
  • Production resources defenders strength
    Production resources can be too powerfull game-turner to be guarded as weak as they were before.

  Aside from fixing these obvious bugs, strict defenders balancing has an additional meaning for the balance of the maps, especially randomly generated. Considering that mapmakers place equally guarded structures for different players (which RMG is trying to do as well - easy defenders in players' domains, average in the center and hard in the most distant parts of the map), differences in difficulty of taking down the guards and profit it brings (for recruitment sites) can sometimes have pretty big impact on the course of the game.

Cities

• Merchandise bonus now depends on production rate, not on gold income:
  

  BaseProduction - city production rate without any buildings or bonuses (depends only on city size)
  RaceProductionBonus - racial production bonus

  It makes more sense for merchandise to depend on production, since it's the idle production power which is the source of the merchandise.
• Nomads
  • Can't grow crop fields
  • Have got a gold bonus instead
    • outpost: 8 gold
    • village: 16 gold
    • town: 24 gold
    • city: 24 gold
  It allows nomads to use caravans without losing and regrowing crop fields.
• Shrine of war
  • Gold penalty ↑0 (was -10)
  Shrine of war could almost never be as useful as another shrines, and gold penalty was making building it really unfavourable.
• Wizard tower line buildings
  • Wizard tower II
    • Research bonus ↑+15 (was 0)
  • Wizard tower III
    • Research bonus ↑+15 (was 0)
  • Library
    • Price ↓130 gold (was 150)
  • Farcaster
    • Price ↓80 gold (was 120)
  Building wizard towers was the less justified way of developing a city, since it wasn't giving any real bonuses, and domain radius is not that important in the multiplayer games. So we have given wizard towers a research bonus, to make them a real alternative to another development paths.
• Monastery
  • Mana bonus ↑+10 (was +5)
• Secret glade
  • Forest radius ↑12 hexes (was 2)
• Mana races bonus
  • outpost: ↑10 mana (was 5)
  • village: ↑20 mana (was 10)
  • town: ↑30 mana (was 15)
  • city: ↑40 mana (was 20)
  Amongst with reducing mana piles size, this change improves mana races by making access to mana their unique quality.
• Research races bonus
  • outpost: ↑5 research / ↓0 mana (was 3/2)
  • village: ↑10 research / ↓0 mana (was 5/5)
  • town: ↑15 research / ↓0 mana (was 8/7)
  • city: ↑20 research / ↓0 mana (was 10/10)
  (Has been implemented in 'Our MP' mod)
• Redistributuon of the level 3 cannons
  • Syrons: - Frost cannon, + Repeater ballista
  • Undead: - Cannon, + Repeater ballista
  • Shadow Demons: - Flame cannon, + Cannon
  (Has been implemented in 'Our MP' mod)
• Tower builder has been removed
  Build watch tower ability doesn't exist anymore.
• Drills
  We have decided to create a separate unit for tunneling purposes, and the old drill do just wallcrushing job.
  • Tunneling drill
    • Atk = 0, Dmg = 0, Def = 8, Res = 8, HP = 10, MP = 28
    • Block, Cave crawling, Poison immunity, Tunneling, Walking
    • Строится в Master's guild
    • Level = 3
    • Price = 170 gold

Quests

• Spirits no longer give quests to raze own or neutral structures
• Spirit of Magic
  • can offer research points as a reward
    • easy: 100 research
    • average: 175 research
    • hard: 250 research
  • has been made the only spirit that offers mana reward
  • can't offer gold reward anymore
• Player-spirit relationship impact on quest levels has been changed (relationship level -> quest levels):
  • 1 lvl -> 1 (was 1)
  • 2 lvl -> 1, 2 (was 1, 2)
  • 3 lvl -> 2, 3 (was 1, 2, 3)
  • 4 lvl -> 3 (was 1, 2, 3)
  Formerly spirits could give you easy quests no matter how successfully you accomplish the previous tasks. Now it's way up only - no more backtracking to easy quests after you've pleased spirit to give you average and hard ones.
• Spell rewards
  • easy: lvl 2 spells (was 2, 3)
  • average: lvl 3 spells (was 3,4)
  • hard: lvl 4 spells (was 4)
• Gold rewards
  • easy: 150..199 (was 150..199)
  • average: 250..299 (was 250..299)
  • hard: 450..499 (was 350..399)
• Mana rewards
  • easy: 75-100 (was 150-199)
  • average: 125-150 (was 250-299)
  • hard: 175-200 (was 350-399)
• Item rewards
  • easy: Rare items (was Common, Rare)
  • average: Exceptional items (was Rare, Exceptional)
  • hard: no items (was no items)
• Hero level reward
  • easy: 2 level-ups (was 1)
  • average: 3 level-ups (was 1)
  • hard: 4 level-ups (was 1)
• Infidels and units/spells/items rewards have been rebalanced
• Unit rewards indexes has been changed
  • easy: 0-9 (was 10-19)
  • average: 10-19 (was 20-29)
  • hard: 20-29 (was 30-39)
  Due to error in the game code, unit rewards slots were shifted counter-intuitively.

Building outposts

• Build outpost ability creates outpost with starting population of ↑110 (was 35)
  This value allows outpost to grow into a village in 5 days for ordinary races/wizards, in 4 days for goblins OR expanders, and in 3 days for goblins AND expanders.
• Pioneer costs ↓110 population (was 250)
  It was incredibly illogically to sacrifice 250 people to create an outpost with only 35 people - now population cost is equal to the population of a new outpost.
• Gold costs
  • Build outpost ability no longer costs gold (was 200)
  • First pioneer costs ↓100 gold (was 150)
    Allows outpost to pay off in 5 days - exactly the time needed to grow outpost into a village.
  • Pioneer gold cost is increased by 50 with every pioneer built by the player
    Prevents massive outpost building, but still allows compensating a poor generated domain with an outpost or two
• Only towns and cities can build pioneers
  Prevents building Pioneers in additional villages, therefore making players sacrifice some production turns in one of the main cities.
• Pioneer
  • MP ↑40 (was 28)
  • Level ↓1 (was 2)
  • - Rebuild structure
  • requires Builders' hall (was Siege workshop)
  Pioneer has been made faster, so it could pass the minimum distance between two cities in 1 turn and create an outpost the day it was built.

Wizard skills

• Summoner: reduces summon upkeep (-1 mana * unit level)
• Enchanter: enchantment cost reduction ↑30% (was 20%)
  Reducing enchantments upkeep would be a more useful feature for this skill, but unfortunately solution how to do it hasn't been found. So we had no other way to improve enchatner, but to increase its primary bonus.
• Explorer: gives +4 MP to any units (was +20%)
  Levels explorer bonus for all the units (foremerely fast units have been receiving +2 hex from explorer, which was just too much).
• War mage:
  • Works with heroes as well as with wizards now
  • Atk/Dmg bonus now depends on shot count of a spell
    • 1 hit: +3/+3
    • 2 hits: +2/+2
    • 3+ hits: +1/+1
    War mage was overpowered in a combination with multihit spells (especially Stoning) and useless with 1-hit spells.
• Merchant/Bureaucrat
  • Merchant now gives +10% bonus to player's total income
  • Bureaucrat now enforces -25% penalty on player's total income
  These skills now affect not only cities, but also all incoming structures and even external gold income (if set up in the map settings).
• Conqueror: ↑+75% exp (was +50%)
• Pacifist
  • prohibits units to gain exp (was -50% penalty)
  • prohibits building Shrine of War
  • prohibits training units in Arena
  Pacifist always was the least unpleasant negative skill in the game, and will always be the one, no matter what we do - AoW is a strategy, not an RPG. We have made this bonus as harsh as possible by pushing its idea to the limit and banning all the ways of getting exp that can possibly be banned.
• Technophobe prohibits building Shrine of Order
  Technophobe + Shrine of Order was too easy way to get a bunch of positive skills and still have a decent production rate, so this combination has been banned.
• Skill picks available for wizard customization = 2 (was 1)
  Allows more flexible skills balancing
• Skill costs

Bugs

• Magic catalyst exploit bug has been fixed
  It was possible to use casting points reward over and over again by casting expensive spells. We have fixed this issue: if you try to cast expensive spell with the help of catalyst, additional points are spent only once, and at the start of the next day you are back to your base casting power. (Of course, if you are not casting anything or there's some additional points left they are stored as they should be.)
• Daily HP recovery bug has been fixed
  Due to the rounding error, units with max HP <= 14 were regenerating health twice slower than units with max HP >= 15. To avoid this issue, random rounding is used instead of simple rounding: number is rounded randomly up or down, statistically maintaining the mean value (for instance, 1.8 has 80% chance to be rounded to 2 and 20% chance to be rounded to 1). We have also adjusted HP recovery percentage, which is now set to 1/8 of unit's max HP.
• Magical mount bug has been fixed
  Magical mount didn't work on units with Mounted, and therefore didn't work if was recieved as a medal upgrade.
• Control animal + Willpower bug has been fixed
  Willpower no longer protects from Feral mount (but still protects Animal units from being controlled).
• Machines are no longer affected by Vertigo and Leadership
• Some tactical maps bugs have been fixed
  • City
    • On one of the maps defender could place a unit on a hex where it was impossible to attack him
    • On one of the map enchanted walls were attacking defending units inside the city walls
    • All city maps contained a lot of hexes, that were making defending units lose MP when passing through them on the first round of combat
  • Life node
    • Sometimes defenders were placed on enchanted wall hexes, therefore receiving damage when the battle starts
  • Rogue shack
    • On one of the maps defenders often were stuck in the vegetations, where they could not be attacked or get away from
  • Dragon peek
    • On two maps fire was attacking defenders when the battle starts
• City starting population is no longer random
  Formerely, starting population was chosen randomly from [min*1.00 .. min*1.25] interval, and in some cases it was making a huge difference when player starts with building pioneer.
• Web/Trap + Fire halo bug has been fixed
  Units with Fire halo were vulnerable to Web and Trap, even though it's supposed to work as Ignition, which doesn't let webbing or trapping unit. Now Fire halo doesn't let to do it either, and burns down web/trap when being casted on a unit with these statuses.
• Spawn larva + unit extraction bug has been fixed
  Units that have already been turned into larvas could be extracted from harvester.
• Spider's curse + Ignition/Fire halo bug has been fixed
  Units with Ignition/Fire halo are no longer affected by webs on the global map.
• Damnation + Death immunity bug has been partially fixed.
  Dmnation worked on units with Death ummunity, which didn't make a lot of sense. We have been able to remove natural healing ban from death-immune units, but -2 Res is still enforced on them.
• Resurgence of gold Bone dragon
  All undead units have Resurgence at gold, but the one Bone dragon had didn't work. It works now.
• Bombard: HotspotY = 30 (was 10)
  Bombard had a very lowe point where shots come from, which was leading to them frequently bumping into invisible 'hills' in front of the unit.
• Gold/Black dragon spell icons have been separated
  Foremerly Gold and Black dragons were sharing one icon, which was making it impossible to use custom sphere-based spell icons for them.
• Attack SFX volume of some units has been decreased:
  • Efreet
  • Glutton
  • Djinn
  For some reason attacks of these units were 5 times louder than normal, which was quite painfull for the ears.

Random map generator

• Underground is now fully diggable
  Earth is placed in the underground instead of rocks, so Tunneling units can finally dig wherever they want.
• Starting army critical bug has been fixed

  Everybody who tried to play random maps have seen how horrible starting army disbalance can be. The reason why the bug existed is a bit tricky. Starting army on random map consists of two parts. First part is just an average city garrison. Second part is a fixed army of 5 units: wizard, hero, racial cavalry, archer and outpost unit. And when random garrison contains more than 3 units, there's not enough place for fixed army in a 8 unit stack. In this case part of garrison is overwritten, and due to unit sort order the strongest units are overwritten first.

  Bug has been fixed by changing garrison generation algorythm: now it can contain no more than 3 units with total price not exceeding 180 gold.
• Slaver bug has been fixed

  Elephant rider and Slaver were switched in the game resources, leading to nomads having Slaver instead of a standart racial cavalry in the fixed part of starting army.

  (Was implemented in 'Our MP' mod)
• Stone wall can no longer be placed in a starting town instead of temple complex
• Windmills are no longer placed on random maps
  Replacing windmills with another incoming structures is the only way to avoid crops problem on random maps.
• Orcs capital can no longer be placed in the underground

Abilities

• New ability - Dig an adit (has replaced Build watch tower ability)
  • Allows to build a new gateway from/to the underground
  • Unit is not dying after using ability
  • Digging an adit wastes all unit MP
  • An adit costs 200 gold
• Consuming abilities (Devour, Swallow whole)
  • New formula
    
    
    HP - target's current HP
    Level - ability level
  • HP restoration rate is lowered by 1
  New consume mechanics increases consume chance (which was ridiculously low formerly) and makes consume chance depend on ability level, which allows more accurate unit balancing and powering up with medals.
• Following abilities affect all ranged attacks (were affecting physical only)
  • Mighty meek
  • (Un)holy champion
  • Dragon slaying
• Feral mount
  • blocks the effect of Charge
  • enforces -2 Atk penalty on unit attacks (both melee and ranged)
• Vertigo
  • -2 Atk penalty now works on ranged attacks as well as on melee
• Def penalty has been added to paralyzing abilities
  • -2 Def
    • Entangle
    • Trapped
    • Webbed
  • -3 Def
    • Paralyzed
    • Stunned
• Auto-morph abilities
  • Draconian growth: always turns unit into Slither
  • Metamorphosis: always turns unit into Skimmer
• Block
  • Def bonus now increases with ability level: +2 Def/level
  •  ↓+2 Def (was +5)
• Cause fear, Energy drain, Entangle strike
  • Support for leveling up has been added: +2 Atk/lvl
• Physical ranged attacks
  • lv 1
    • Fire crossbow: Atk/Dmg ↓16/6 (was 16/7)
    • Hurl stones: ↓5/↑6 (was 7/5)
    • Throw blades: ↑12/2 (was 9/2)
  • lv 2
    • Hurl boulder: ↑11/15 (was 11/13)
• Magical ranged attacks
  • Magic bolts: Atk/Dmg ↓8/↑5 (was 10/4)
  • Holy bolts: ↑9/4 (was 8/4)
  • Fire bolts: ↑17/↓6 (was 16/7)
  • Frost bolts: ↑12/↓4 (was 10/7)
  • Lightning bolts: ↑9/3 (was 8/3)
  • Venomous spit: ↑13/8 (was 12/8)
• Doom gaze: Range ↑Long (was Medium)
• Breaths
  • Limited
    • Fire breath: Atk/Dmg ↑18/9 (was 15/5)
    • Divine breath: ↑18/9 (was 15/5)
    • Black breath: ↑18/7 (was 15/5)
    • Cold breath: ↑18/6 (was 15/5)
    • Gas breath: ↑18/7 (was 15/5)
    These abilities were too weak for 3 uses per day, especially when being exclusive feature of level 4 units (and a very few level 3 units). So they have been made stronger; also we have balanced them, considering different strength of their side-effects.
  • Pixie dust
    • Atk/Dmg ↓12/3 (was 16/5)
    Pixie dust has been weakened so we could give it to Fairy.
  • Flame throwing / Frost blowing
    • can be used from green movement only
  • Frost blowing
    • Atk/Dmg ↓16/3 (was 16/4)
    Dmg has been lowered to compensate effect of freezing against burning of the Flame throwing.
• Dominate
  • Atk ↓10 (was 15)
    For Shaman's and Brain's gold upgrade
• Leveling up has been set up for units with abilities:
  • Damaging abilities(+2 Atk and + 1 Dmg / level)
    • Whirlwind
    • Grasp
    • Strangle
    • Steam
    • Self destruct
    • Sabotage
    • Ram
    • 1-hit ranged attacks
      • Fire pistol
      • Ballista
      • Fire cannon
      • Fire bolts
      • Frost bolts
      • Fire crossbow
      • Venomous spit
      • Hurl boulder
      • Hurl firebomb
      • Doom gaze
      • Throw spear
      • Bombard
      • All breath attacks
  • Non-damaging (+2 Atk/level)
    • Web
    • Entangle
    • Seduce
    • Dominate
    • Possess
    • Trap
    • Control animal
    • Turn undead
    • Drain will
    • Taunt
    • Dispel magic
    • Steal enchantment
    • Cause fear
    • Energy drain
    • Entangle strike
  • Passive
    • Block
    • Swallow whole
    • Devour
    • Cause fear
    • Energy drain
    • Entangle strike

  All buildable and summonable units with listed abilities get them leveled up with every gained medal. It makes special units gain strength in areas they specialize, not just get some irrelevent bonuses (for example, Black spider doesn't really need Atk/Def upgrades at silver, but Web II really makes a lot of sense).

  1-hit ranged attacks are now improved by levels, not markmanships. It was made to balance them against 3-hit attacks, which gain much more effective damage from markmanship levels.
• Grasp: Atk/Dmg = 12/10 (was 18/13)
  • Zephyr bird: Grasp I (was -2)
  • Eagle rider: Grasp II (was -1)
  • Roc rider: Grasp IV (was 1)
  • Roc claw: Grasp IV (was 1)
  Does absolutely nothing with actual Grasp Atk/Dmg values; just corrects level displaying by avoiding negative levels.

Magic

• Battle spells
  • Dispel magic
    • New formula
      
      Mana - mana cost of the spell attempting to be dispelled
      Upkeep - upkeep of the spell attempting to be dispelled
      AlreadyDispelled - number of spells that have already been dispelled by this cast of Dispel
    • 75% dispel chance limit has been removed

    First, new mechanics makes Dispel more stable and reliable. The chance to dispel at least one spell is increased, and in the same time dispel chance is lowered with each successfully removed spell.

    Second, Dispel now takes spell upkeep into consideration as well as mana cost - in fact, upkeep has become the most important spell parameter affecting 'dispel resistance'.
  • Animate dead
    • New animating possibilities:
      • Hero -> Death knight
      • Undead -> Self
      • Dragon -> Bone dragon
      • Creature of XL size and level 3-4 -> Bone horror
      • Blurred | Spirit -> Spectre
      • Mounted | Magical mount -> Death knight
      • Healing + Magic/Holy/Death/Fire/Lightning/Frost bolts -> Doom priest
      • Female -> Vampire
      • Block -> Skeleton warrior
      • Archery | Crossbow -> Skeleton archer
      • Humanoid -> Zombie
    • Mana ↑15 (was 10)
    • Level ↑3 (was 2)
  • Mud no longer works on units with water walking and floating
    Now there are new ways of using this spell, since we have created a way to protect your army from its effect.
  • Tremors
    • Attacks only enemy's units
    • Atk/Dmg ↓10/6 (was 10/8)
  • Double gravity
    • Level ↓1 (was 2)
    With 'Common' spells having their occurence chances lowered down, double gravity had became too hard to find. So we have moved it to the 1st level.
  • Swarm
    • Level ↓2 (was 3)
  • Fireball
    • Level ↑3 (was 2)
  • High prayer
    • Mana ↓25 (was 30)
  • Sacred wrath
    • Mana ↓30 (was 32)
  • Mass confusion
    • Mana ↑30 (was 25)
  • Turn undead
    • Atk/Dmg ↓15/10 (was 15/12)
  • Vengeful Vapor
    • Atk/Dmg ↑19/↓3 (was 15/4)
    This spell is not about damage, it's about freeze effect. So we have increased its Atk and lowered the Dmg.
• Enchantments
  • Liquid form
    • + Water concealment
    • + Fire weakness
    • Mana/Upkeep ↓15/6 (was 20/7)
    • Research = 120 (was 170)
  • Fire halo
    • + Cold weakness
  • Water walking/Free movement balancing
    • Water walking
      • Mana/Upkeep ↓10/3 (was 15/4)
      • Research = 70 (was 80)
    • Free movement
      • Mana/Upkeep ↑10/4 (was 10/2)
      • Research = 80 (was 70)
  • Wind walking
    • Mana/Upkeep ↓20/6 (was 40/6)
  • Concealment
    • Mana/Upkeep ↓10/2 (was 15/6)
    • Research = 50 (was 100)
  • Static shield
    • Upkeep = 8 (was 10)
    (Has been implemented in 'Our MP' mod)
• Global spells
  • Cosmos mastery is now available for Cosmos wizards
    (Has been implemented in 'Our MP' mod)
  • Level 4 storms
    • Lightning storm: Atk/Dmg = 20/12 (was 20/12)
    • Fire storm: ↑20/12 (was 18/12), Research ↑250 (was 220)
    • Ice storm: ↑20/11 (was 18/11)
    • Divine storm: ↑20/11 (was 18/11)
    • Death storm: ↑20/9 (was 18/8)
    Storms have been balanced considering their side-effects (destroying crop fields and additional statuses targeted units can get).
  • Earth spells redistribution
    • Raise terrain: has been enabled
      • Level = 3
      • Research = 200
      • Mana = 100
    • Level terrain: has been enabled
      • Level = 3
      • Research = 200
      • Mana = 50
    • Earth awareness
      • Level ↑4 (was 3)
    Now when limit of 5 spells per level has gone, these spells removed in MP mod are back.
  • Air spells redistribution
    • Tornado
      • Level ↑4 (was 3)
    • Watcher
      • Level ↓3 (was 4)
      • Research ↓300 (was 400)
    • Haste domain
      • Research ↑400 (was 300)
    Availability of these spells was inconsistent with their real power. For instance, Tornado, being one of the most dangerous spells in the game, could easily be got in the spellbook at the start of the game, as a level 3 spell - no other 3rd level spell could beat that. So we switched it with Watcher and also adjusted research values so they would reflect the actual power of the spells.
  • Domain spells balancing
    • Darkland
      • Mana/Upkeep ↓100/15 (was 100/20)

    • (silver) + Magic protection
  Unique physical protection feature was completelly useless due to easily accessible Enchanted weapon, which allows to ignore physical protection. To prevent this, we have added Magic protection to these units: now only someone with 'real' additional strikes (Holy, Fire etc.) can avoid the protection.

  • All priests: MP ↑28 (was 24)
  We have increased speed of all special units of 1-2 level who differs from standart spearmen/sworsmen/archers. This idea has already been implemented for units of nomads, draconians and shadow demons - we have spread it to another races.

Pre-MPE: MP mod 1.7

Here's a list of changes of MP mod 1.7 against uPatch 1.4. Only things that still matter after release of MP Evolution are listed (they are mostly balance tweaks); changes in areas that were redone completely (like wizard skills and quests) have been omitted.

General

• All wizards
  • Atk ↓7 (was 8)
  • Dmg ↓6 (was 8)
  • HP ↑30 (was 20)
• All buildable lvl 1units
  • +2 HP
• All archers
  • - Strike
• All heroes
  • +1 Atk
  • +1 Def
• Frostling heroes
  • - Fire weakness
• All flyers
  • + Floating
    With this change flyers can't hide on top of houses or trees in TC anymore to avoid the effects of double gravity and web/entangling. Flyers can still fly over city walls and ground units can't reach flyers.
• Resurgence has been removed as a hero upgrade.
  Resurgence as a hero upgrade was bugged. It was possible to resurgence a hero an unlimited number of times instead of only once like other units with resurgence.
• All the recruitment structures like the inn, druids circle and circus have been made razeable.
• All races can build 2 new units
  • Rebuilder
    • available in the Siege workshop
    • Def = 8, Res = 8, HP = 15, MP = 28
    • Price = 100 gold
    • Abilities: Walking, Build roads, Rebuild structure, Poison immunity, Fire weakness, Block, Repair machine
  • Tower builder
    • available in the Siege workshop
    • Def = 6, Res = 6, HP = 15, MP = 32
    • Price = 100 gold
    • Abilities: Walking, Build roads, Build watchtower, Poison immunity, Fire weakness, Block

  • town: 8 research / 7 mana (was 15/0)
  • city: 10 research / 10 mana (was 20/0)
  This will weaken research races because research is better than mana. Research can be converted to mana by not researching anything, but mana can't be converted to research.
