abstract
| - The 1.50 unofficial patch is a collection of bug fixing and other changes, with the aim to provide as close to the original Master of Magic experience as possible, but without major bugs and other inconveniences plaguing the gameplay. It's a continuation of Insecticide and contains all changes of it, unless explicitly listed as being removed. It also fixes several new bugs Insecticide introduced. Note that the majority of AI changes have been optimized for the Caster of Magic mod, and some of them might be less than ideal for the different pacing of the original game, however, these changes are still a major improvement over the original, where the AI was completely incapable of doing most of the things the patch enables. Also note that a lot of detailed AI improvements made for Caster of Magic are not in this patch due to incompatibility, either differences in the game code itself, or the absence of the related feature(s), like new or improved spells. Unlike Insecticide, this patch contains all individual changes available as stand-alone patch files which can be applied or removed from the game as the player wishes. Most of these files come pre-applied to the game files, but a few of them -mainly those that change gameplay- are kept as optional. All the information below will refer to the patch file that contains the change using a 3 digit number. When removing patches, keep in mind that some of them might depend on others, meaning to remove them, the others also have to be removed. These dependencies are sometimes mentioned in the file itself, but not always. If the tool used to remove the patch reported a warning, it means there was a dependency.
