The wiki and an old changelog imply that cornacs are supposed to get extra talent points at certain intervals. The wiki could be read that an extra talent point of each type should be granted at birth and at every tenth level. The old changelog isn't very specific (it's the 1.5.0 changelog for refernce), but does say that cornacs should start with an extra generic point and get extra points of both types as they level. No newer changelog that I remember reviewing mentions additional cornac balancing.

See, in game I don't notice a difference between what a cornac got and what one other race got as far as talent points at level ten. A cornac does appear to get an extra talent point at birth (I don't remember which type it was--I should write stuff down).

What exactly are cornacs intended to get as bonus talent points, and at which levels? It would be nice to have the wiki reconciled with the game, if the game is accurately reflecting the intended number of points. The old changelog makes me wonder about that. But, then, is some addon causing a problem? But I have no addons that should affect that--the one I have that I know affects cornacs doesn't seem to change what happens to them on level up unless it's some loading conflict I haven't found.

I need to go mess with the debug stuff some time when it's not late at night, and count up what a few characters actually get when forced to level 50 right away. It's tough to imagine a problem of this kind would go unnoticed, and the wiki IS notoriously unreliable--that itself is a shame. Spoilers ought to have version notations, be as quantitative as possible, and be unambiguous. I guess with a small community it's tough to keep a wiki up-to-date.

My minions,

One more beta for you minions! Go grab beta7:
You'll find all the downloads on https://te4.org/beta-test

Please, try to keep all bug reportings on ToME's official forums at http://forums.te4.org/ as it is hardly feasible for me to survey 10 different location for bugs.

The current DLCs will still work in 1.6 so you can test with those but they will each get a small update at the same time as the final 1.6 release to update how they process melee talents to be inline with the new 1.6 way.
NOTE: DO NOT ENTER the Caves of Hatred in Embers of Rage. It needs updating of embers to work with 1.6.

Please only use official addons/DLCs when testing.

I was thinking about cat points.
Cat points. Cat. Cats. What are the cats in the game?
And then I had an idea. Yes.
Killing Pumpkin should give 1 cat point, as well as an immortal revengeful cat ghost that sometimes appears at most inconvenient moments in the heat of a combat to exact revenge at you. And disappears once the combat ends.

*haunting, chilling meows of a wronged cat from beyond the grave*

I haven't played in a really long time, so maybe it's my version or something that's the problem, but on the world map, normal grassland tiles just look like solid blue squares. Definitely doesn't look very natural to me.

My minions,

Version 1.6beta1 went rather well for a first beta with surprisingly few explody-parts but still, beta2 is here to fix them (and more)!
