You changed with str and step temples, so that points could be invested in steps after visiting a temple, instead of investing before visiting the temple (the only way to get bonus from them both), but in UL-temples, it's still not like that. I visited with a 9 UL pala (9/33) and got 10/33 instead of 10/34 or 9(10)/33. No problem, really, since it makes no difference. Once 33 UL is reached - no ruins can do anything. Except those with manually set guards ofc.
I think info about allies should show if one holds the mouse over the ally. It does in ruins, but not in hero offer screens.
