+# X September 2023 -- prospective patch notes
 
 ## Designer's Notes
 
-More rebalancings, more new sprites, more bugfixes - it's another hefty CMBW patch! Pr0nogo is back from vacation and ready to adjust the rate of economic growth, and make spending your money more interesting and meaningful (in the mid-game, especially)!
+TBD
 
 ## Summary
-- Mason and Scribe training time is now 14 seconds, matching the Droleth
-- Quarry and Larvosk Cesiant are now tier 2; Embassy price has increased
-- Protoss tech crunched, removing Cenotaph, Sanctum of Sorrow, Lattice, Sequestered Icon, Astral Omen, and Fleet Beacon
-- Pricing paradigm for mutated Zerg strains now assumes you are purchasing a new unit, instead of giving a discount based on the assumption that you mutated it from a source unit
-- Several price adjustments have occurred across all races and tech tiers, aiming for better balance between resource spending and making it less feasible to get high-power armies *and* achieve fast tech timings
-- New Ackmed graphic...
+- TBD
