If you cast mirror on your own titan does it bounce to other units on your team (like minis)? Also a 15% spell increase is fairly useless besides the niche that the item is now revolving around (nuking harvs), it seems like it will ruin a fun and diverse item.

Not sure how I feel about another SoM nerf, seems like it is weak enough how it is. The cost of a SoM vs what it gets you is already pretty underwhelming, being .287 gold per physically hp at 500hp (armor factored in) and .45 gold per hp vs spell damage. Where as just buying two +100hps from an RC is .325 gold per hp. For the trouble of an extra 1800 lumber, shop cooldowns for buying two scales and competition with other builders for buying scales and eggs it seems like the SoM will just be too weak for normal games. Games where builders get massively fed gold it would still be very worth while to buy though, but should the game be getting balanced for boring one sides games?

Anyways thats just my boring thoughts, the rest looks great though.
Great job guys.

Nerfing Mirror? Seriously?
Wow that is a GREAT idea! Good job! While you're at it buff wallwalking and enable speed poke for Tauren!!
Also Morph buffs? Just wonderful.
Do you guys even play Titan?

That is a surplus of vision reduction going on there. Is everyone starting to go blind?

@1337hamburger We nerfed mirror because at it's previous state 66% increase in spell damage was too much. We made it a niche item on purpose, as right now nuking 1 hp upgraded workers requires a mini, now it does not and the item will bounce to all builders, meaning you can put it on the mound and mirror them all, or do what you like with it

@KamiKadse Yes there were buffs to builders and a nerf to mirror, but those changes are minor compared to say the vision reduction. Many Titan's have a new scouting ability to help compensate, and next patch - Itemization Update, will bring many more helpful utilities to the Titan

@Dr_CoolHaus Yes, essentially. The goal was to reduce the builders vision of the map via unbuilt structures. We might take it a step farther and disable vision of unbuilt structures until completed, it's TBD

Thank you guys for all the hard work you put in to this new update and im sure that when people play it they will tell that all of the changes you made are there to balance. I know that if anything is unbalanced then you will quickly fix it and listen to the community. I like most of the changes in this new update and i feel that it will benefit Island Defense and the community

Please report any bugs you can find, and if you suspect a possible bug.
Currently known bugs:
1. Non-stackable items (armored scales) can sometimes merge. (Being looked into)
2. Demonicus Wind Walk operates weirdly, will be looked into.
3. Ultimate Tower, Spell Well's upgrade description has typo.
