Hits no longer splash; glancing and spent arrows splash where they land,
drift burning on lava, and arrows on a removed bridge sink.

- giant (from wave 6): slow and enormous, smashes doors three times as hard and wrecks traps by standing next to them
- fairy spy (from wave 3): flies, finds the dungeon's traps (marked with a glint) so the heroes wreck them, and heals heroes around it
- battle mage (from wave 4): throws fireballs with splash and blasts reinforced walls (steel resists him better)
- sprites, bestiary texts EN/DE, test: fairies find traps, giants wreck them

- prison: captured heroes sit in cells apart from the torture chamber, do not defect and starve in time; the hand can move prisoners between cells and torture
- graveyard: the fallen are buried there; after a while some rise as revenants (undead: no food, no sleep, life drain from level 5)
- guard post: creatures hold the position and attack whatever comes into view
- arena: creatures spar in pairs for fast, free experience, at the cost of bruises
- sacrifice altar: creatures dropped on it are sacrificed; certain pairs bring a rare creature, otherwise a blessing (mood and mana)
- researched in the library, campaign unlocks, textures, furniture, texts EN/DE, bestiary

- explored tiles stay known (saved compactly as bits), enemies are only drawn while in sight; sight runs along open ground, walls block it
- unexplored tiles are black blocks; units, towers, torches, furniture, portals, gate and rival cores in the dark are hidden; minimap and tile info too
- the nearest portal is known from the start; the seer's eye opens a wide area for 20 seconds without remembering it

- researched in the library (and unlocked in the campaign), in the spells menu with own icons and a radius under the pointer
- haste speeds up everything a creature does, stoneskin halves damage, invisible creatures are ignored by enemies and towers until they attack (drawn see-through), plague spreads among enemies, quake hurts and stuns enemies only, cave-in turns floor back into earth
- particles for every spell

- forge room: creatures work there (coglings fastest), the work goes into the oldest planned trap or door; finished pieces wait as crates, imps carry and install them
- traps: spike pit, poison vent (cloud), fire jet, stone roller, alarm bell (calls creatures), rune mine (one big blast), frost glow (slows around it)
- doors: wood, iron, magic (hurls attackers back); own creatures pass, enemies smash them on their way; clicking a door with a door tool locks it for everybody
- new 'Traps' category in the toolbar, forge in the rooms; texts EN/DE, bestiary entries; atlas grown for new textures and icons
- tests: forge to installed trap, spikes hurt, doors lock and get smashed

- projectiles get styles: arrows (shaft and fletching), cannonballs and fireballs fly in an arc, shadow, holy, arcane, rune and magic bolts with their own glow
- trails of embers, sparks, motes or smoke that drift down to the floor
- fireballs explode on the ground (flash, shock wave, embers, smoke, scorch mark), cannonballs burst into stones, dirt, sparks and smoke
- arrows stay stuck in walls (or glance off into the floor) for five minutes, at most 400; they drop out when the wall is dug away
- spells: lightning sprays sparks and scorches the floor, healing lifts green motes, level-ups and summoning rain sparkles; digging throws earth, gold pops coins
- particles are never saved and use their own random numbers

- own towers in black obsidian and dark iron with red glowing joints, bone spikes, skulls, chains; arrow spire with a ballista, hellmouth cannon with a demon-head barrel, dark spire with horns and a crystal; every level adds parts
- soul core: a crystal heart beating lub-dub (faster when hurt, cracked at low health) held by chains on an obsidian throne, veins with a pulse across the floor, rising embers
- portals: an arch of stone and bone with a skull and horns, a vertical vortex with runes and falling sparks; grey and dead until claimed
