# Beta_v1.4.4 - Expedition Enhancements

Corrected Adventurer MAA cost reduction from 75% discount => 50% discount gold. This may still be too much and so will keep an eye on it!
AI will no longer move or complete portal when they meet the requirements. Maybe will re-enable one day when it makes sense.
Removed chinese localization files at the request of the folks supporting the chinese submod

Expeditons!
- Fixed Spark Crystal so that a player can not find one if they already have one!
- Added more items to the loot table!
- NEW Elven Armors!
- NEW Elven Brooch!
- NEW Elven Boots!
- NEW Elven Sword!
- NEW Elven Hammer!
- Loot table Items will now also have a random "archetype" modifier added that gives a relevant bonus! This will help make each artifact found feel a bit more special! The archetypes are:
- Ravager
- Roadmen
- Paladin
- Captin
- Noble
- Aeluran
- Added NEW Lembas Satchel Epic Artifact! Found randomly on expeditions but should be quite rare!
- Trial Of Greed received a facelift!
- This honestly barely worked before, fixed a dozen bugs with it.
- The new elf loot can be found in this trial.
- Now your party member with the highest stewardship stat will try to advise you on how much loot you can take before the trap is triggered! As always they can be wrong! The lower the stat the more likely they are wrong.

# Beta_v1.4.3

- Changed Julius Serelion back to Roman culture
- Ascended Tribal (Why is it always you?)
- Now ALL Elf Lords with the culture tradition become Ascended Tribal not just the player and their vassals.
- The AI will no longer choose to go back to Tribal after getting Ascended Tribal!
- Elf Age
- Nerfed the Age of Mortal Elves!
- previously elves would stay immortal to 100 + their trait bonus. So for example, "High Elves" would live 100 + 50 = 150 years before becoming mortal
- 100 is a bit unrealistic for an average lifespan so now its reduced to 65 + trait bonus
- Note: Even when Elves have become mortal again at the end of their life, they often still live a good long while because they stacked so many health bonuses throughout their life! We'll keep an eye on things and see how this change feels!
- Fixed an issue where Elves that had reached end of life and became mortal again would not return to immortality when Ascending to a higher elf level and still being an age in that new elf level trait's window of immortality.
- Fixed bug with Elf Trait Inheritance
- using an additive total instead of an average when determining "Elf Score" to avoid division errors
- also added a fallback to just double mothers elf score if no real father is found
