Update 1.9.003

Attention! To view all changes and improvements you may need to restart the game world.

BASE GAME
Added a new set of armor which is obtained from wooden armor when it is upgraded. It allows with a little effort to raise the defense.
Added armor for mages which does not provide significant protection but does not decrease movement either. It significantly enhances the magician's skill and provides periodic generation of mana.
Added metal staff - intermediate between wooden and silver staffs.
Added wooden boots for the initial set of armor.
Added runes of ice and fire which can drop from rune doors along with recipes. They can be used to reforge a steel sword and give it new properties.
Added the most durable mithril shield.
Added a multi-barreled mithril rifle into the worlds which have sulfur deposits.
Added an armored box which increases the number of items carried by 1 and gives additional protection.
Improved AI of dwarves - when demolishing a block under themself at a high altitude the dwarg tries to cling to the back wall of the cave to not fall down.
Changed the settings for the speed of digging various ores and smelting ingots for more balanced progress in the technology tree.
A section with hotkeys has been added to the diary.
More than 50 big size images have been added to item recipes.
Fixed some cases of overlap and intersection of secret rooms with goblin colonies and elf grottoes.
For the Horn spell it is allowed to dig marked blocks in the same radius as the attack of the monsters. This is necessary in order to collect dwarves near a crowd of monsters without destroying the last block between dwarves and monsters. And then without canceling the gathering spell dig a path to them.
The healing effect of the bandage is increased to 15%.
Other minor fixes and improvements.

DLC Lonely Mountain
Changed drops from boxes in accordance with the items drawn on them.
Sometimes the trolls had too many health hearts.
Fixed: earth blocks up to lava could not be generated from the edge of the map, so the dragons could fly out to the surface.
Fixed: dwarfs did not consume the milkshake considering it an elixir.

DLC Heart of Evil
Fixed the scrolls of the ancient portal falling out of the boss.
Elf altars in a dark fortress strengthens the defenses of nearby elves. Showing this an effect is displayed near it - shields over their heads.
Added drop rings of power from elves which enhance different skills. Added a Great Ring to the tech tree which can be forged from several regular ones.
Added missing recipe descriptions for some items.
Fixed: sometimes secret recipes were given that could not be crafted.
Fixed some animations for zombie factories.

Other DLCs
After a while pets imps could get stuck in one place and stop collecting resources.
Werewolves killed the sheep in the paddock when they were marked for shearing.
Dwarves riding wyverns did not explore darkened areas.

Editor, mods
Updated templates for helmets, boots, armor, shields, backpacks and firearms (backpack_template, boot_template, cuirass_template, helmet_template, shield_template, gun_template, big_gun_template).
Attention modders - check your armor and update pictures for the correct image in the game!
Dwarf blanks have also been added for those who want to paint the armor themselves. Path: <Game folder> \ Doc \ Templates \ Skins \ dwarf_template.psd
Added Mana generation parameter to the editor for items. It sets a value - the number of generated units of mana per second. For example, a value of 0.01 indicates that 1 unit of mana will be generated once every 100 seconds. If the dwarf is equipped with several things the effect is cumulative. When a full unit of mana is generated it flies away from a dwarf (like from a mana generator) and is added to the total amount of mana. In the recipe of the item the output of the inverse value in seconds has been added - for the example above "100 s" will be displayed.
In the editor the ability to customize the order of displaying items in the inventory has been added - the "order" field.
Added a parameter for dealing increased damage to undead in the editor - undead damage.
