Let me know about target, uploading v1.43 in 1-2 days, but not before your target-test.

What skills do you focus on early as a paladin? And what later? Do you develop Resurrection? I'm kind of newbie in Paladin, most times I play Mage. Until now I develop Learning, Trophy, well I never developed Trophy other than level 1 in vanilla.

30 mana cost for Target seems ok. At least with my current mana supply which is 51-58 (depending of the items equipped) Now I really need to think twice before casting it.

Also have increased the initiative penalty of Stone Skin to -2, and boosted a little the defense bonuses of Magic Spring: 7, 12, 18. This way SS is not always the preferable choice and both MS and Battle Cry seem a bit more interesting.

I have developed exactly the same skills than you, hahhah xD Trophy is quite tempting due to its cheaper cost, and Learning is also appealing if you can combine it with an item like Hand of Necropolis (+10% extra experience gained in battle), which I found and bought.

Also developed Diplomacy and Adrenaline to their first level.

I don't know what to do next in the paladin skill tree; Resurrection would be an ideal, obvious choice with a creature like Griffin, but I haven't found many of them yet. On the other side, Voice of the Dragon would improve my Royal and ordinary snakes besides my dragons. Hmm.

Yep, I didn't find the skeleton head yet. Maybe because didn't fight with the Superfly yet or simply due to bad luck. In last playthrough, I found the skeleton head easily.

I reached Learning level three and found and bought the Hand of Necropolis just one or two levels ago, whereas developed Pet training level one near the beginning.

Did you see my message before the screenshots?

I still have my doubts about Target (perhaps the best nerf is what you proposed -> affect only level 1-3 enemies), but I'm pretty satisfied with the initiative increased penalty to Stone Skin and the improve to Magic Spring.

By the way, the boost to the bonus defense of Magic Spring benefits low level units the most.

Yes I saw posts before screenshots. Magic spring is improved as u suggested.

Stone skin ok -2 ini. Duration 2-3-4. Mana 3-5-7 and not 4-6-8...(?).

Target could be level 1, 1-2, 1-3. Still duration 1-2-3. Mana? 4-8-15?? Or 5-10-15? Hm.. was 4-8-13 in vanilla I think.

I noticed u kept the dragon pet name, Dudu Boy... Hehe

Foremen: The AI couldnt cast 'Recruit Miner', now fixed for v1.43, thx to Terroin. It was in the arena.lua file, had to add that summon with this name has high priority.
They are probably not so fun to fight... hehe. Still, I played with them, they are not overpow, only summons 25% of leadership Miners.

In my current game in v1.43 I have a chance for a full set after finishing jerneland. Set bonus gives 15% physical resistance to swordsmen and guardsman... Don't have money to buy and haven't found enough creatures worth it yet but fun to have the chance

Stone Skin: Fine

Target: 4-8-15 sounds good. The important level, mana cost related, is the third. There something between 15 and 25 should be ok. For a reference, Sheep level 2 cost 30 mana, and only disable one creature. Hence something in the interval of 20-25 should fit probably better.

Perhaps Terroin could help you also with the AI of enemy Heroes? So they would be able to cast more spells both in number and in diversity. Even spells like Invisibility, Target, and so on. That would be amazing.

Yeah, Dudu boy is quite charming.
