Very big update as I've finally taken a shot at adding a new class, The Thief, overhauled the High Cultist, and reworked/adjusted/cut lots of old mechanics. Details for Thief will be added to a separate forum post.

General

New start of game terrain generation for a Gold mine with strong dwarven defenders

New start of game terrain generation for a Crystal Globe. This terrain is changed from having an activateable Scry ability to always having a "Cartographer" unit holding an item, "Map of Elysium" that gives the holder a scry ability.

Castle and Academy of Higher Magic placed via event when not already on the map has more conventional defenders and less casters.

Unknown Priest now always carries 1 magic item.

Fountain Faery Queen will always carry 2 magic beans. This is intended as a means to allow factions without easy access to the Sky/Flying units to have a means to access Cloud Lord Cloud castles.

Ice terrain now has lifeless trait to avoid weird interactions in battles involving frozen water.

18 new music tracks adding in some variety to the background looping tracks.

Baron

Rangers are adjusted slightly, range is down 6 to 5, cost is reduced by 10, 20 Weed is now factored into the cost and they are recruited with a poison arrow attack instead of requiring a ranger captain to upgrade them to a separate unit with poison arrows.

Ranger Captain's Herbal Medicine healing ablity cost reduced 10 to 5.

King's Castle now also produces a Gryphon Knight during conscription.

Monk's Build Monastery now increases Bless stat 33% of the time instead of 25%

Knights are now Fast like Cavalry, High Lords, and Unicorn Knights.

Gryphon Knights can now be Vassal Knights

Merchant Bribe attack no longer has reload

King now has a "King's Ransom" charm attack that works on humans.

Royal Princess now has access to all Baron rituals except for coronation.

Necromancer + Markgraf

Dread Husks now have two variants. There are some stat differences but this is mainly for aesthetic variety.

Abominations gain Unaging (decay immune) but now have a weakness to fire.

Necromancer only

Harvestmen gold cost reduced and damage increased.

Demonologist

Daemonic Altars have a lower recruit chance, requiring at least 1 temple owned to receive them at all and can no longer lead armies.

Lesser/Greater Demon summonings now have a 15-20% chance to summon "Marauding" demons that are uncontrollable/stupid but in decent numbers.

Djinn of Conquest is changed from slowly spawning units to unlocking new recruitment offers for bloodsworn.

Ovens of Sin on Elysium not owned by a Demonologist have a chance to destruct.

Witch

Snallygaster has a much better quality sprite.

Witch Brew now also acts as a healing ritual with the item providing Fast Heal in addition to Poison Resistance.

Both Hag and Crone learn Bog Paths for free at level 3 promotion. Crone HP is buffed.

High Priestess

Herald of Ba'al has a slighty lower recruitment chance and slightly higher potential cost.

Ba'al is now unaging (decay immune).

Venom Pact Commander and units are replaced with a new "Ba'alite Heavy Chariot" merc unit.

Ceremony of Ba'al Shed summons limited to 1 Shed.

Bakemono

Lesser beings, Lesser Oni rituals cost is increased 30 to 40 and will have a 10% chance to summon new Ugulu Oni/Tengu Ronin that are uncontrollable/stupid but in decent numbers.

Lesser beings, Lesser Oni + Greater Oni rituals will have a 10% chance to summon new Ugulu Oni/Tengu Ronin that are uncontrollable/stupid but in decent numbers.

Kappa #s summoned in Lesser beings is slightly reduced.

New Lesser being, "Komainu". Lucky + Fast units with 2 melee attacks.

Dragon-Blooded units are now unique to the Dragon Emperor summon and not offered via recruitment.

Ninja recruitment is less restrictive. Single ninjas will be offered as mercenaries rarely, while squads of 5 will be offered from Old Castle Ruins always, no longer requiring a Dai Ninja commander is owned as well.

Barbarian

Warcamp ritual is changed to summon several effigys instead of a random commander.

Barbarian Leader has a new level 1 ritual, "Enlist Tribals". Cast at Tent Villages, Barbarian Camps, and Southern Tribal Villages, this creates earthen walls and summons a stationary tribal warlord. The warlord will produce free warriors over time and enable mercenary/leader recruitment offers for their respective tribe (Wolf, Deer, Spider, Serpent, Hyena, Lion).

Senator

Aspiring hero is more heroic, gaining an extra melee attack and more HP increases at each promotion and moving to the front rank.

Explore labyrinth ritual is now 1-cast and no longer destroys the labyrinth.

Starting terrain and the outpost's values are changed to be equivalent to owning 1 town, and removed the starting town to avoid rare occurences where the starting town promotes to a city and then the capital.

Added 1 standard bearer to starting units.

Imperial Academy ritual is removed.

Fixed a bug where Sphinx riddles were learned out of order.

Pale Ones

Agartha tiles have had "No Drown" trait removed. This is replaced with an event that adds a small % chance that submerged citadels in Agartha are destroyed each turn.

New Pale One Lairs now cost Gold/Iron instead of Emeralds/Iron

Sealed Chamber mechanics have been reworked. The chamber now starts shattered/broken in a random Agartha location, and an Agarthan Architect can spend Gold/Iron to restore it.

"Break the Seal" ritual to farsummon a powerful horror/free Seal guard spawn is removed. It's now much more attainable so the reward is purely a powerful Agartha fortress with gem income/temple status.

Priest King

New ritual added, "Summon Bluecaps". Stationary units that increase production of mines.

Troll pit goblin archer garrison switched to 3 blood fungus

High Cultist

Pretty much completely overhauled...base game astrology and last version of this mod's stars events are removed. Full details in Class forum thread but a few notes:

New system where Cultist rituals exclusively summon Deep Ones on the coast with a chance to summon a Hybrid Cultist or Basalt Prince/Princess.

The Hybrid cultist will gain Void rituals when promoting to a Starchild and can learn a ritual to create a new "void rift" terrain.

Void rifts serve multiple functions: required terrain for summoning "void" beings, promote over time to portals and then gates which are required for stronger summons and increase the rate that free friendly units spawn from the portals.

Void rifts captured by enemy armies will close over time.

Void summoning rituals have ~20% chance to summon friendly uncontrollable/stupid horrors.

Basalt King/Queens can farsummon armies of deep ones to deep ocean terrain and can summon large armies of hybrids by changing cities to haunted cities (which still count as citadels for high cultist).

1 Elder Starspawn may promote to an immortal commander at a fully promoted Void Gate (with immortality tied to that gate).

Merfolk Aquatic Animal Summoning is replaced with a new ritual "Summon Aquadryad". A stationary defender that will spawn Merfolk castable at ports.
