A couple of comments on the 1.4 patch, plus a question

- Gremlins can repair machines and construct creatures only once per combat in all situations

I haven't played Academy, but I have read up on them and I believe this weakens their gremlin/machine combo. I'm not sure by how much, but it seems by a lot.

- Vampires no longer regenerate when attacking undead creatures

This makes sense, as much as it sucks. I'm an undead guy, what can I say? We try to take as much as we can get. Though, it does take away the realism of Vampires draining other Vampires and replenishing their own life.

BTW, what is this paper doll thing that ppl have commented on that is so great?

The "paper doll" is a feature from previous games. In the inventory screen, when you select which items your hero should carry, you can actually "dress" him with them, putting a mail on his torso, a shield in his hand etc.

Ahhhhh, ok. Now I know what everyone is talking about.

It's not as good as previous ones tough...
It's just some square's ontop of eachother and not really a doll like in 3,4 where you could still see your hero when you added things to him, now when you fully equip a hero you don't see a thing anymore...

I swore these changes were already implemented in 1.3...right everyone?
