• Eastern Invasion

• S02 "Escape Tunnel": Now uses the core Dwarvish Miner unit, instead of a modified 8 gold version.

• Decreased player gold from 100 to 80 on most scenarios.

• S08 "The Siege of Kal Kartha": increased enemy gold.

• S10 "The Underlevels": Karrag can now be optionally fought before you kill all other leaders, and the scenario has been rebalanced accordingly.

• Heir to the Throne

• Fixed a serious issue where the "Replacement Weapons" tweak would trigger on all sides' recruits, not just Konrad's.

• If Konrad reaches Elensefar while Delfador is still with him, the player is no longer forced to give up Delfador in return for his raven.

• S02 "Flight of the Elves": made enemy gold more predictable. Fixed Konrad winning after killing only 2 enemy leaders, instead of all of them.

• S03 "Blackwater Port": Haldiel and Simyr are now loyal companions, but killing all enemy leaders is much harder.

• S06 "The Isle of Alduin": Elrian is now a loyal companion, but the scenario requires you to choose between gaining Elrian or learning to recruit Mages.

• S07 "Muff Malal's Peninsula": Moremirmu is now in a safer position, and much less likely to get bad RNG and die early.

• S15a "Valley of Death I": added a new item reward, to 1) make this scenario a more viable pick and 2) allow for item-heavy playthroughs.

• S22 "Glamdrol": allying with the Stoneskins now costs less gold, but Konrad will lose if he doesn't pillage enough gold to meet his pledge.

• S30 "The Sceptre of Fire": made Li'sar more difficult to assassinate with Fire Wraiths. This strategy should still be possible, but it should now require more significant investment.
