Pumpkin Patch
As some of you may know, for the past few months I've been working on a mod for Horn of the Abyss, called The Pumpkin Patch.

Some highlights:
- You can choose from 4 gameplay presets or explore 27 customizable gameplay options and 58 optional skins!
- Exclusive Duel 3.0a template by MKC, designed for the Pumpkin Patch.
- A revamped Mysterious Island map by Francois Papyjama, featuring the new objects, and 2 new other Single Player maps
- Spell rebalance - now all schools of magic are almost equally useful
- Creature rebalance - weaker units got love (for example, Unicorn Blind now scales with Luck!)
- Tons of quality-of-life improvements
- 5 new heroes with unique specialties, including Scholar, Tactics or Mummy specialties!
- Christmas skins to bring that cozy holiday atmosphere!
Moreover, Pumpkin Race, the Jebus-Cross tournament based on the mod,
has just entered the bracket stage. You can learn more about it here: https://www.h3.gg/competitions/v2/152

Nice Effort. I will try it sometime.
Although the siege engines and the spells need much more drastic changes to be useful. But changes are good slightly better.
Still a lot of work and a lot of love poured into this. Kudos!

I played a bit with a friend. I didn't like the resource silo change that much. I can understand wood and ore versions becoming something like 3500 but not the rare resource ones.
Why no change to Destroy Undead and Death Ripple? I think they are pretty useless at this point.
I would suggest Death Ripple not effect constructs or elementals.
I would suggest Destroy Undead effect constructs and elementals.
The formula is easy 10/50/100 + Number of creatures in stack. Not dependent on spell power. Or maybe you can depend it on the first part.
This way it could deal like 1100 damage to a 1000 skeleton stack while dealing lets say 50+50 to the bone dragons. Still useful if you have a lot of stacks. +1 health +2 health artifacts would become more important as well. Also would move death ripple to water and move remove obstacle to earth magic actually.
Lastly a creature bank that gives efreets would be nice: I have you fighting genies+mages+gargoyles+golems like a sort of prison for "bad genies"  . or full mechanical units gargoyles+Juggernauts+golems+automatons
