Current version

The current version of the Pumpkin Patch is 1.4.2. You can see your mod version on the main menu screen.


List of changes

Version 1.4.2 changes

  • Completely changed the UI of the HexSwapper
  • Added a number of skins to the HexSwapper, based on portraits from other Heroes of Might and Magic titles.
  • Fixed a bug with a turn reminder appearing when not necessary
  • Fixed a bug with Melodia’s specialty showing a wrong additional description, as added in HotA.
  • Fixed a bug with Melodia’s specialty showing a wrong image in the hero trade screen.
  • Fixed some of the hero specialty graphics used in the mod.
  • Reverted the cost of Prayer to Horn of the Abyss (16/12).
  • Increased the effect of Weakness to 4/8 attack reduced (reduction increased by 1/2); decreased the mana cost to 6/4 (by 2).
  • Reverted the cost of Misfortune to Horn of the Abyss (12/9).
  • Orcs and Orc Chieftains now have no melee penalty. AI value increased to 197, and 244, respectively.
  • Reduced HP of Horned Demons to 35 (by 5). Reduced the cost to 350 (by 10), and changed the Fight and AI values to 512.
  • Reworked Luck: Now, additionally to the previous effect, Luck increases the odds of random skills (such as Stone Gaze, Aging, etc.) applying on-hit. Each point of luck corresponds to a relative increase or decrease of ⅙. Does not apply to Mighty Gorgon's Death Stare and Corsair's Accurate Shot.
  • Reverted the changes to various Grails.
  • Reduced the Attack of Halflings and Halfling Grenadiers by 1 (total of -2 Attack). Increased the cost of Halfling Grenadiers by 15, to 75.
  • The chance of a creature bank, which gives units as a reward, having size 1/2/3/4 was changed to 15/35/35/15, from 30/30/30/10%
  • Reduced the price of a resource silo to 5 ore, 2 wood and 2500 gold (reduced by 2500 gold).
  • Increased the price of the Gorgon Lair by 500 gold, and the upgraded Gorgon Lair by 2000 gold, to counteract the resource silo being cheaper.
  • Reduced the class of all resource-providing artifacts (except for Cornucopia) by 1.
  • Reduced the cost of resource-providing artifacts to 2000 for Carts of Ore and Wood, and 4000 for those that provide rare resources.
  • Added some of the Unused content to the Map Editor, as well as 8 impassable blocks that can be customised to appear only for select difficulties.

Version 1.4.1 changes

  • Earth elementals are now immune to Meteor Shower and Implosion, but vulnerable to Lightning; while Air elementals are immune to Lightning, but vulnerable to Meteor Shower and Implosion. The same, naturally, applies to their respective upgrades.
  • Added a new optional feature - rebalanced conflux: Water and Fire elementals now cost 300 (upgraded to 350); Air and Earth now cost 350 (upgraded to 400). Their dwellings cost 2000 gold each, 5 wood for Fire and Water and 5 ore for Earth and Air. Their upgraded dwellings cost the same amount, except additionally 5 crystal / gems / mercury / sulphur for Air / Water / Fire / Earth elementals respectively (matching the tuition prices charged by the Magic University). The growth of Earth Elementals has been increased by 1. ** This change can be turned off in the HexSwapper
  • Added an optional feature which makes heroes gain the primary statistics at the same rate, even past level 10. As an example, Barbarians now gain attack in 55% of cases, regardless of their current level.
  • Turned on by default the “2 Dimension Doors per day” setting in HexSwapper; as a result, Dimension Door can be cast 2 times per day, regardless of the fire magic level.
  • Altered Cannon's damage to 3-7.
  • Changed the secondary skills of Monere, Erdamon and Winstan
  • Winstan is now an alchemist.
  • Tiva starts with Haste instead of Stone Skin
  • Reverted the change in Juggernaut's damage.
  • Reverted the ballista buffs from 1.4.0, after krzyspasztecik showed that one can defeat 3 devils with a level 4 Ballista specialist, with no troops, even without archery.
  • Fixed cannon’s damage being different in the Polish version.
  • Fixed a few minor mistranslations in the Polish version of the mod
  • Changed the image of the Ring of the Magi to no longer sparkle, the way relics or combination artifacts do.
  • Tweaked Azure Dragon’s AI and Fight values; AI value: 80816, fight value: 57723
  • Fixed Athe not being available by default in the map editor only on RoE maps.

Version 1.3.8 changes

  • Remade the entire mod for the HotA 1.7.3. All changes have been re-designed as a result and thus 1.3.8 is not in any way reflective of the 1.4.1
  • Added the changes in User:Csaros/Old Changelog. and a legacy link to a separate wiki page.
  • Added a new Pumpkin Patch editor (named HexSwapper), which lets you customize some optional changes. Simply edit the PP.ini and double-click the HexSwapper, and it will mod the game for you.
  • Added the remastered Restoration of Erathia - Liberation campaign to the main files
