Hey everyone!

I managed to complete another update! It was pretty time consuming to make, especially due to the Trianglopedia so I would consider it a big update!

The new things are improved minion AI; minions will now also cast helpful spells outside of combat and will be smarter in their usage of spells overall. There are some changes to the deity system, complete with a deity screen. There are also updates to various information screens in the game including the new game screen.

But the biggest contribution is I think the Trianglopedia (or Encyclopedia Trianglica if you prefer), which is basically an ingame wikipedia database. It standard comes with over a thousand articles detailing every single spell, class, talent, deity, levels, quests, bosses and much more. It also features a spoiler system so if it is set to not show spoilers (default) it would show those articles. Many of the spoilers were not previously released. For convenience it also has a search function and a random page function (both of which respect the spoiler setting).

Also you can add new articles and modify them! These new articles you create can be exported and imported by other players if they want and are not overwritten when you update Triangle Wizard. You can also use this to keep notes!

Oh and there is also two new deities, a new mission and a new shrine

Patch R 12.01 Notes:

-Ascended shrines no longer make mages lose spell regeneration.
-Massively improved spellcaster AI; casters will no longer waste healing spells when not needed, buff only unbuffed creatures, no longer cast projectile spells at flying creatures etc...
-Creature will now cast friendly spells outside combat; healing and buffing others. They will not do this if they cannot regenerate spells.
-Characters who can walk through walls can now also walk through doors.
-The Manipulate Device spell will prefer sigils over traps.
-Increased the chances the Manipulate Device works.
-Added an all new deity screen where you can peruse the various deities, see their effects and your relationship with them. Press SHIFT (or ALT) + INS to access.

-You can now get redemption quests for any deity you have offended instead of only the last one.
-Fixed a bug where it was still possible to have the same cursed getting stacked.

-Added a new deity: Zenithar, The Patron of Work and Commerce.

-Added a new deity, Urza, the Artificer.
-Tournament and Rebellion awards are no longer tied to any deity.
-Fixed a loophole in the wish system which could theoretically allow players to join the enemy creatures.

Quicker fixin' R 12.03   

-Fixed error that could sometimes be caused by Phalanx summoning his blobs to haunt you when there were already many creatures in the level.
-Stamina no longer regenerates while immortal.
-You can no longer use The Gnarl's boon to perform the Teleport Punch technique whereby you would aim your jump at half in the wall and deal damage to creatures close to that wall without actually teleporting.
-Celestial shrines will no longer cause deities to get angry with an atheist. Instead a reward is given.
-Added a new deity: Lu-Kthu, the Birth-womb of Great Old Ones.
-Fireball in Prismatic Spheres now fire trice.

I have to say though, I approve of always wanting even your hotfix releases to contain at least a bit more content for the troubles.
