Hi there,

I'm very excited to see how this developes. As a totally blind player I'm fascinated by MOM but have never had the chance to actually play it. I'm wondering if you have possibly considered accessibility in this re-design, or if not what sort of codebase you're using? Is it possible that accessibility might be added? I'm a screen reader user and happy to provide advice on how this might be approached, and what would be required in terms of development.

I don't want to be pushy and demand a whole new feature or anything :ust wanted to mention that I'm intrigued by the new game and hope that something could be done with it. I'd love a proper fantasy 4X to play at last.

I'm sorry to say I can't even imagine how a blind person would be able to play a complex game like this. While there is some text on the screen, the maps, the armies on the maps, etc are not text based.
Being the only person who works on this, I definitely don't have the capacity to add extra features like that in the next few years. You might have a better chance asking Slitherine for such a feature instead as they might have the manpower needed to add features like that to whichever Master of Magic game they'll be making in the future.

*These High Man Spearman have just passed to the tower that leads to the other plane. But they ended up on the same plane and in the middle of the sea.
*Summoning water elemental continues to give range check error.

-Fixed bug : When moving units from a tower, the map view changes to the incorrect plane.
-Added scrolling arrows to combat info screen.

Updated.
Sorry for the slower progress but adding help texts is endless and very boring so I can't do too much of it in a day. (also I spent half the day on the spell system thread...)

Small notes:
-         Map generation hangs with these options: Any Difficulty/Opponents1/Small or Random/Small or Islands/Myrran. No problem when choosing Minimal or Tiny map size, strangely.
-         Pointing at units in the Army screen displays a flashing pixel on the minimap, but only if a unit is in a flashing state on the overland map.
-               To turn the pages in F3 Spellbooks of Nature or Chaos wizards still leads to a “Range check error”. I guess the same error can happen after a spell is researched, bc it is the same animation.

-Demons summoned by Demon Lords no longer have Caster.

While I think this was necessary to prevent mass demon spam, I'm concerned that this nerfs Demon Lords considerably, they used to effectively have 40-120 caster skill, now they have none. I know the allowance of more than 9 units will help with that, but I think it might be good to give Demon Lords caster 40 and take away one free Demon so that they maintain some of the versatility they had.

*There is still a bug in the tower with the selected stack. I cannot move a unit when one is selected and the other is not, for example, to go to other plane.
*Rotate through cities can cause freeze.
