Epilogue Incubator Thread

2.99 has been released.

After a lot of consideration on the matter, I decided to make the early game harder.  You now have a -15 penalty on protection and magical protection on level 1, -10 on level 2, -5 on level 3, and 0 on level 4-10.  This way, the game from 4-10 is unchanged, but the initial few levels are a bit tougher.  There should be moments where you are in a tough bind on level 1 now (less or more depending on your experience with the game).

I was thinking about a lot of alternatives, such as decreasing the overall health pool, but I wanted to limit the effect on the latter half of the game, which seems to play out exactly how I intended.

Note: the Mac version will be delayed until the 3rd/4th because I don't have my macbook with me at the moment.

Thanks again everyone for the feedback.

Edit:
Had to drop a patch that fixed some bugs.  2.99b is out on all platforms.

2.A released.  I finally relented on the "able to see elemental affinities" front, so thanks for all the people that pushed me in that direction.
