Swamp (terrain)
|
Now does what its text says, i.e. checks for exit direction
only, not distance. A moves-2 monster group that enters a swamp may

or when any non-friendly recruits are affected.
|
(1) You can train multiple novices in the same turn, and Altar will
pay you +2/+2 for each one. (2) It doesn't expires on its own. It lasts
until you choose to turn it off. (3) Your town can't defend itself while
Altar is in play! (4) You can cast it on an enemy structure, to essentially
eat 1 novice.

|
|
Scrying Pool

Pro-active monster spell.
|
|
Frostbite
|
Duration: Turn of casting +3 +2.

indeed restore +3 maximum hit points.
|

If killed by a swordsman, swordsman
gets Gorgon's Head (swordsman's hits give
Gorgon's Gaze; transfers to a swordsman

in front of your own group to squander your opponent's attempt to road-block
you with a monster.
|
|
Citizens' Militia
|
They gain experience levels normally.
|
|
|
Griffin
|
Lowered from L:2 (level 2) to L:1 (level 1).

L:2 was just too good for 4 mana. An L:2 Griffin was much stronger
in combat than Man of Iron!
|
|
Inspiration
|
It may be cast only once per turn per player.
|
(0511).
|
|
Leadership
|
Recruit cannot be targeted by individual spells.
Other swordsmen in recruit's group get +1 hand damage.
|
(a) The targeting immunity makes Leadership harder to dispel. (b) The
host no longer gets its own bonus. This actually makes Leadership stronger,

which keeps his Leadership bonus in play for as long as possible!

|
|

the game. Dispelled when triggered.
|

the first combat), so it no longer counts as an enchantment against
an enemy Sylph or similar.
|
|
Zana's Champion

purposes.

Casting Champion doesn't lose initiative. When he dies, you may lose
