GENERAL DESCRIPTION
1. AI is very bad against dremers, it is greatly hindered by the contaminated ground. To make life easier for the AI (and for the player as well), all the healing abilities of the healers at the same time clear the ground. Also, the ground is cleared by the shots of all magical towers. The tower of the undead with its shot turns the earth into the lands of death.
2. AI does not build high-level troops much, as a result of experiments it was revealed that he does not like to build those troops that take a long time to build up. Troop build duration has been reduced to 3, and ship build time has been increased to 4.
As a result, the AI builds strong units more often.
AI boosted. The perk "Academician" has been reworked to enhance the AI and is not recommended for player use. (4.0)
3. Armor was given to ships, +1 to the viewing radius, galleon and gillion, the firing radius of special abilities was increased to 3 (4.0).
4. You can hire lords
To hire you usually need some standard building + knowledge on an external resource. For example, a vampire guild and a transformer built on a magic field allow you to hire a high vampire. A complete list of lords and requirements for their detuning is given in section 4 of the description of Proxima rus.docx
Artifact slots have been changed for some lords
5. More variety of quests, mainly added quests for the construction of various buildings and killing. Added new quest chains, with evil last parts.
6. Clearing the map is more interesting:
Now there are new types of neutral cities with different combinations of defenders: veteran+mage, troll+shaman, vampire+ghost, spearman+sorcerer
Many local resources are protected by neutral monsters
7. The settlers were slightly strengthened so that they would not die from one sneeze and the computer could somehow expand
INSTALLATION/REMOVAL
put files in the game folder or delete them from there
LAST CHANGE
4.5 Experimental variant
The destruction of the ground during the explosion of the gate is replaced by flooding

8. Elves can now build dragonhouses + other minor changes to build order
13. Reduced the cost of weak skills of great magicians
14. The font in the menu has been changed to a serif option
12. Added spawn probabilities of resources,

- Removed elves, gnomes and donkeys from lava, etc.
Reward for food buildings - human/monster/elf settlers,

Monetary reward for regular quests has been reduced, penalties for non-completion have been added.
