Dungeon changes
The village
Dungeon level 4 is guaranteed to be a village of friendlies of your own race. It contains a couple of houses, a fountain and the travelling wizard.
The fountain will be replaced with a magic portal after talking with the wizard.
Chatting with the peaceful inhabitants of the village will give you hints about what is waiting in the adventure branches.
Adventure branches
The stairs to the Gnomish Mines are replaced with a magic portal to a branch the player chose while taking to the travelling wizard. Each of the branches contains a unique reward, a different set of enemies and obstacles.
The chosen branch will affect how the base level of the windowless tower will look.
