A1.2 Alchemy + Armor
Updated Alchemy.
Now you can combine 4 effects.
Combining more than two ingredients that give the same effect and the potions become stronger.

There are Recipes for potions, when you look in some containers.
If you boost your Wisdom or Intelligence, your potions becomes stronger.

Potions with more different effects give 50% more Experience/effect.
And the price for potions have been change, and rises when you have more effects.

Updated Armor and Deflection:
You have a % chance to deflect attacks, equal to your armor.
But never over 90%.

You can Deflect magic attacks.
The % is written on the Effect screen [f2].

Take the Perk 'Evade' and you have a better chance of evading magic attacks.
Boost your Wisdom, and you also improve your chance to deflect magic attacks.
But never over 90%.

1.0b Micro Update
Just a couple of minor things.

Dragons will now attack you, when you exit the 'Lost Dragon' temple.
They use spell attacks from above, and the land when they run out of spells.
When on the ground, the dragon will take some attacks before escaping.

The player holds the crafted sword a little different.
You hold the sword grip lower, making it seem more normal.

The game auto-save after each upgrade.
Your stamina is used slower, so you can run longer.
Gold weigh less, so you can carry more.
You no longer have the 'Overweight' warning.

The Trees have been changed to look more real.

Full 1.0 - Dragons
Now the dragons will attack you, when they are close.
You still need to wake them, by praying at the alter in 'Lost Dragon' Dungeon.
And you should be level 10 before hunting the dragons.

Dragons also have weak points, place at where the neck meets the body.
You can see it, if you got the 'Monster Skill' -> 'Weak Point' perk.

The load bug has been fixed.
But on the Elven map, it still place the player a little to the left.?

You can enchant your crafted weapon with magic damage.
When you have your own crafted sword, it is placed on the back, when not used.

You can also enchant Armour with resistance for damage.
You can do it more times on the same armour, if you have money enough.

Alchemy Boost.
If you mix three ingredients with the same effects, you get 200% stronger effect.
If you mix four ingredients with the same effects, you get 400% stronger effect.

It is not a Balrog, but a Balroq...

The main Quest for the North map (Dwarf) is ready.
A Large Dungeon with many rooms, and different special locations.
And at the end, there is a Master Boss (Not a Balrog), with fire damage, and strong health.

If you enter that dungeon after Darkness, there are ghost, which are hard to kill.
