What's the deal with patch notes like
"Stat and description fixes
Various nation fixes"
How am I supposed to know what those fixes are? One would think that if it's not elaborated in detail, then those "fixes" are nuthin' serious. Like fixing typos and such.
But THEN one notices that Gaze of Death is gone completely from the game after 4.21 or 4.22 - I'm not even sure which one exactly, coz there's not a word about it in the changelog. Just "stat fixes" or "nation fixes", ffs. Previously it was a ranged attack that dealt 999 damage over aoe 5 and range 20, although could be MR negated. It was pretty rare, but some units could do it (Catoblepas, Basilisk, Abomination, some national heroes). Now it only does 15 AN damage, and still can be MR negated. In other words, it's completely useless.
Yes, this post is butthurt post, coz I invested a shitton of water gems in Catoblepases in one of pbems, preparing for war with Ashdod. Back when I just started summoning them, the Gaze of Death was still inflicting 999 damage, then it was changed mid-game. But my butthurt is not the point.
I am really confused about WHY was it changed at all? Which of the GoD summons was so overpowered that it required nerfing? Was it Cross Breeding? Catoblepas? Abomination? The last two were situational at best (and very overpriced for what they are), and now I can't imagine anyone in sane mind using those summons. And Cross Breeding - come on, you can't seriously count on getting significant amount of Basilisks even in Luck 3. It's so random and rare, not even worth mentioning. The logic behind this change, and the reason of why it wasn't mentioned in changelogs elude me.
Also, Gaze of Death should be renamed to Uncomfortable Stare.
