Update from 16.09.21:
The mod has been adapted for ERA 3.8.10.
The way Inferno is used by the Fire Sprite in battle against the Ulysses hero has been changed, along with minor changes related to this.
Objects of the type "rain" with semi-transparency have been added (4 types of effects /downpour, drizzle, bubbles from falling drops/).
The effect of drizzle is also used as an imitation of a wet surface.
The definitions of the spells "Quicksand", "Wall of Fire", "Force Field", "Undead Extermination" have been changed,
as well as all Elemental Defenses.
The background of the spellbook has been changed /to a darker background for better contrast (reasons are described below)/.
Color highlights have been created for the names of spells of each school of magic /for a clearer association with the schools of magic/
(this was necessary due to the changed visual effects of some spells).
The spell icons in the spellbook have been reworked with a PNG variation of frames.
The visuals of the objects "Tunnel Gate" and "Hidden Cache (resource bank of the Dungeon faction)" have been changed.
The visual of the creature "Mechanical Helper" has been changed.
The size of the creature "Golden Dragon", displayed on the adventure map, has been increased.
The visuals of the monsters "Warden X-10" (now a single-cell creature), "Mechanical Helper", and "Prospector" have been changed.
The monster "Reaper" and the artifact "Mines" have been added.
Triggers for activating some creatures' special abilities have been replaced
(this should contribute to a more "precise" temporal response to the creature's actions when the ability is activated).
An additional condition has been added for mana regeneration in battle from the "ammunition cart" in the <veteran zone> mode.
The definitions of the spells "Wave of Death" and "Poison" have been changed.
A questline has been added for the Reaper (destroyer of Watchtowers).
A function has been added to view possible spells for "Random Heroes" in the <veteran zone> mode.
A flag "not subject to morale" has been added for the creatures "Rift Lynx".
Some text dialogues and artifact descriptions have been corrected.
An object of the type "Barrier" and its activating chain have been added to access the "Amber" location.
The pictures in the dialogues "Glossary: Warden X-10" have been corrected.
The visual of the spell "Wave of Death" has been changed (the previous version is also left in the mod's resource folder).
A "most faithful ending" option has been added. The "I-Shar" expansion has been adapted for it.
A combat version of this ending and a final dialogue have been created. The dialogue "I-Shar's message on the Oasis" has also been expanded.
An option has been added to extend the lifespan of the experimental TP beacon of the Branded, for players who have prolonged the playthrough
of the "tunnel part" of the story.
A function has been added to forcibly disable the experimental TP beacon of the Branded after a certain stage of the plot.
