There are a few bugs in this changelog though, for instance:Quote:
- UPD: Summoning Magic/Fog Veil - enemy shooters' damage decreased by 20% (instead of 10%)
It is 25%, not 20% (it is correctly displayed in the Manual though)

Yes it does, but it wasn't changed, it's still 10%.
And before you question me I took a look in the Game's internal files and I can say that it decreases damage by 25% and not 20%.
