I read in the readme that the cloak of non-detection was removed from the game.

Is this because it never seemed to work in the original game?

Or to improve the tactical challenge?

cheers,

The cloak of Non-Detection worked in the original game as long as the character using it was under stealth (Thieves, Rangers and Monks).
But with 2 exceptions: it would make non-detectable anyone with invisibility from the Rings of Air Control and from the SotMagi as well.

It is the mage spell Non-Detection that doesn't work as intended.

The problem with the Non-Detection of the cloak is that it could be exploited, waiting for the protections of enemy Mages to run out. Enemies who can't see through invisibility cannot do anything in this case.

So I agree with Sikret's decision to remove the cloak from the game.

Was this bug fixed in IA?
