My favorite strategy doesn't work anymore. I like to play artificer/runemaster, and make magic items to trick a few heroes/champions into an unstoppable force. (Yes, I heart overkill.) When I play on Community Patch 1.52.01 the spells Enchant Item and Create Artifact cost 4x what they are supposed to cost, not less, as my traits would indicate. It works fine on vanilla MOM, but on 1.52.01 it sucks. I did end up making the items I needed and I won the game, but it took forever. I could've cash the Spell of Mastery in that time, or had it cast against me.

Anyone know why?

Thanks in advance.

It's a bug. I've sent the fixed version to Slitherine 2 weeks ago.
Until it becomes updated, you can use this hotfix patch instead : https://steamcommunity.com/app/1146370/discussions/0/4086396791259554799/

Awesome. Thx!
