UPDATE HISTORY:
*****************************************
v1.2
- tweaks to some weapons
- tweaks to units
- Grand Cathedral got a brand new look. It's a BIG building now and it's not an upgrade of the Church, but a unique building
- some unique units now require a minimal amount of Faith to train
- Paladins tweaked
- Greater Quest For Justice spell now has a 50% chance of spawning a quest with a epic item as a reward
- Church and Grand Cathedral got their own icons.


v1.10
- greatsword icon added
- some balance tweaks
- fix for missing church icon
- new quest (reward is a powerfull sword)
- changes to the paladins abillity tree

v0.8

v0.7
- fixed apperance of Circlet of Celrity
- Fixed quest Thalia and Lydia not spawning (was a single letter typo)
- Light Padded Underarmor now visible and usable by units

v.06:
- The companion quest re-vamped. It should no longer appear by itself, but rather it can be triggered by a special spell recived automaticly. The spell will cost you 50 mana, 10 Fame and 5 Faith and has a 50 turn cooldown

v0.3
- fixed icon issues
- added a new sword
- added a new hero item that aids in exploration
- tweaked the recruitment quest (but it's still very much WIP)

- more stuff I'm probably forgetting.
