Has the success rate of sleep been changed? I've played many necromancers and i've noticed a massive shift in success rates against low intelligence targets.

It wouldn't surprise me if many more people are equipping to defend against spells as a result.

The village seems very very dedicated to keeping the veil thick. Could be a combination of these things.

Yeah and that sucks for mages because not many mages actually try to thin the veil it seems. Nexus was such a boon as cabal. They helped magic, they helped even up differences, they helped give the village a really strong contender of an enemy, and the benefited the veil like villagers hurt the veil.

Yeah I've noticed this. Seems to be a big problem without a cabal focusing on thinning it, with the village focused on thickening it.

If they actually had some sort of purpose or more/better cabal powers that made sense. Like if the tunnel power did cooler stuff based on thin veil letting chaos magic through easier.

Nexus was built for it. Nexus was built to be the villages primary enemy as they protected the essence of magic. Orderly, chaotic, evil, good, and neutral in all aspects. Entropy would just be like "Hey, I can power up the veil to kill the villagers" While Nexus is "The veil is thick, this is terrible, I must do something about it now!"
