• Mystic Attunement - Quick Casting can no longer be done multiple times on the same Spell.

• Link effects like Enchain Mind and Limited Seal now have a priority equal to the unit using it. Since a unit can only have one link active at a time, a higher prio means that higher tier units can remove link effects from lower tier units but not the other way around. So the Progenitor Golem (Tier 5) using its Limited Seal on a unit means that the Umbral Mistress (Tier 4) cannot use its Enchain Mind on that unit.

• Alignment waning has been changed so it will only wane upwards towards your starting alignment when below that amount, instead of always waning upwards towards 10 alignment.

• Removed Eldritch Relics from being included in the pools for generated Rewards.

• The Pantheon Enabled settings in advanced setup have now been split up into three different settings:[list]
• Enable Ascension Traits

• Added additional clarification that entering the Dreamroot Oak does not require the army to stand on the Province Centre.

• The Fallen Bastion event in the Castle Ruins ancient wonder in the Umbral Abyss has an option to pay mana without explaining that it would remove the Rampant Umbral Taint combat enchantment, this has now been added to the button’s tooltip.
• Umbral Dwellings now more frequently ask to declare war on other Rulers during demand events. Before this was a very low chance of happening if there were Free Cities available, now it’s about 50/50 if both a valid Free City and Ruler can be found.
• The Umbral Thralls race now has 1 less Society Trait randomized each playthrough, as their innate “Umbral Thrall” Society Trait takes 1 of their spots. Before this change they had 3 society traits which normally isn’t allowed.
• World Map Spell “Pall of Gloom” - Can no longer terraform Uninhabitable Provinces into Gloom Terrain.

• The Presence Of property icons on the Scourge units now have the correct icon in the style of properties, rather than the combat enchantment icon.

• Fixed a crash when opening a quest for which the city quest giver was razed

• Fixed an issue where the Healing Spire skill from Tome of Sanctuary would say it would place 12 towers.
