Will making a copy of the Dom2.exe before patching be enough to have both Versions?

Azz ...

I expected some more things.
Here some...

Something more about resistances (ie burning pearl reduced to 50% FR, it costs the same of the fire ring, and gives +4Att even if it's higher const research).

Something about Clam of Pearls (too cheap).

Something about Ghost Riders (too cheap or too strong fot its cost).

Something about improving the Send Message options.

Something to improve the Human pretenders, that are totally unused unless forced by house rules.

Above are the essential I expected, I follow with the corollary, or optional.

Review of many magical items, since there're a standard stock of them used, and many others that are totally ignored.

Some improved holy/unholy spellcasting.

Something about certain scales that are not very useful, and too exploitable to take in negative.

Something to allow population growing faster.

Something about Mirror Images, its too high buff, and the bug of replenishing health items striking on mirror images.

New magic items that are national ... like the Black Laurel of Ermor ... something similar for each Nation ... perhaps 2-3 items for nation.

Nice and to the point nerfing of the Vamp Queen IMHO. I guess she will be back in our MP games, hurray...

Thanks for the patch

I think it was a bit too hard for VQ IMO (domininion 2->1, cost 110->150, path cost 40->50).
But i think much more important is an elemental armor nerfing!

Agreed on the Elemental Armor; 100% immunity to fire, cold and electricity plus prot comparable to basic metal armors was rather strong. Dropping to 50% will make it much harder to have something (particularly undead, as undead have poison resistance innately) immune to just about anything that you can be immune to.
