Lesser Convert and Convert have strength 8 (was 9) and 10 (was 11) respectivelyRemaining issues in v1.2:
– Ghouling Strike’s tooltip is not displayed
– Raise Corpse’s description has not been updated
– Healing is still available for Usable items in the Arcane Forge.
– Healing is not available in Weapon items in the Arcane Forge.The only changes I don’t like are making Greater Reanimate Undead only affect your own units and making healing on the battlefield one time use. As a Tier 4 secret spell I feel it is okay for it to work on enemy units in a single player environment, so the fun factor is still kept, and healing for the same removing fun reason.
I think I shall use your mod, especially if something is done about the aforementioned issues for single players. Just to be clear as a PBEM mod I think it is very good, but the two issues I mentioned above seem to be deal breakers for single player.I think you are talking about True Resurrect (http://age-of-wonders-3.wikia.com/wiki/Template:True_Resurrect), right? That’s a secret spell and it is not affeted by the mod.
Greater Reanimate Undead is a Necromancer’s ability (age-of-wonders-3.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Greater_Reanimate_Undead) which used to allow to reanimate Archon Revenant Titan very easily (once they’re dead, that is) with no check involved, so 100% chance of success. It was quite unbalanced. I also do not fully like the change but we had no other technical way to prevent the Titan issue.Regarding Healing, it is currently Once per battle only for Arch Druid and Theocrat heroes and leaders, and you can have Iron Heart and Nourishing Meal with them.
It will soon affect all units too (v1.21) but Theocrat’s supports and Evangelist will get a Combat Healing which will allow a 2nd Healing in all tactical combat.
The aim is to prevent players from stalling fights to heal all their troops. Fights which last more than 7 turns (to heal 2 times) are quite rare so this should not impact most games much?Ah!
The wiki misled me. Thanks for the reply, I think I like your mod and use it after all.Main branch was updated to 1.2.
I think I spotted a bug?
Yarati the Spellstealer has no Steal Enchantment on lvl 1 whereas he should. Any idea why? Maybe we should check all the heroes because I’m worried many may have similar issues.Yarati the Spellstealer has no Steal Enchantment on lvl 1 whereas he should. Any idea why? Maybe we should check all the heroes because I’m worried many may have similar issues.
I’ve checked him. He looks okay through mod editor. Are you sure?
Yes, I launched a new game, used the cheat to get heroes, got him and he has no Steal Enchantment. He also has 0 skill point on lvl 1.
Any idea why Hero Slayer appears three times when Assassins of Kings is chosen?
https://www.my-league.com/games/273/downloads/screens/47491/273/47491Hero.jpgI noticed that too for other units with Hero Slayer and without Assassins of Kings (but don’t remember which). The bonus seems to apply only once though.
Another issue (display issue): in the hero upgrade choice panel, it’s displayed “Charm” even though it is actually “Lesser Charm” for a leader when you haven’t researched Produce Bards.
2 more bugs related to Fortifying Meal that probably requires more investigation (I have a video of the issue as it was on my tournament game):
– Fortifying Meal did not reset the cooldown on Throw Chicken from a Farmer who had used Throw Chicken on the same turn. But I thought we had tested it before so I’m confused what’s going on
– Fortifying Meal did give Bolster but Bolster did not remove the morale penalty for Disliked terrain…Any idea why Hero Slayer appears three times when Assassins of Kings is chosen?
http://www.my-league.com/games/Array7Array/downloads/screens/4749Array/Array7Array/4749ArrayHero.jpgYes. There are 3 abilities ‘Hero Slayer’ in game – normal ‘Hero Slayer’, Leader Slayer (but with name ‘Hero Slayer’) and group ability which consist of Leader Slayer + Hero Slayer. When option ‘Display children’ of last ability is turned on, then it would be something similar in unit panel.
I’ll fix this.2 more bugs related to Fortifying Meal that probably requires more investigation (I have a video of the issue as it was on my tournament game):
– Fortifying Meal did not reset the cooldown on Throw Chicken from a Farmer who had used Throw Chicken on the same turn. But I thought we had tested it before so I’m confused what’s going onIf you looked at neutrals then you should know that AI won’t use this ability as human does.
– Fortifying Meal did give Bolster but Bolster did not remove the morale penalty for Disliked terrain…
Terrain penalties is different story here. Needs to be tested on Sunflower place. If it doesn’t negate terrain penalties then it works as intended.
What I was saying about Fortifying Meal is that the indie used it on a Farmer who had already used Throw Chicken and after that, the cooldown was still active, at 28 turns. So I don’t see why you are talking about AI vs human not using it the same way here? Unfortunately, I rechecked my video and the cooldown 28 turns does not appear there because I had seen it before I did the video and in the video, I only checked the Farmer immediately after the Meal, and the cooldown is not displayed yet, it just says “The unit already acted this turn” (and I checked, it’s written that even if cooldown has started).
It’s hard to reproduce but we should keep an eye on it.Regarding Bolster, I did some test: it does not remove Terrain morale penalty but Solace applied to a unit before the fight does. I suspect that’s because Triumph did not implement a way to remove this malus in fight. Could you please check if you can apply Solace to a unit instead of Bolster and see if that removes the morale malus? If not, I think we need to ask devs if they can correct that bug. Otherwise, we’ll at least need to update the description (and it would mean Fortifying Meal is much weaker).
Beta 1.21 was released.
Issues spotted when I did the video (I’ll test more extensively later):
– Lesser Mighty Meek is called “Mighty Meek”
– when displayed in the unit panel, the Cloaked in Shadows spell is displayed as Hide Out
– Hide Out skill still appears and now shows in spell book on turn 1, regardless of which skill spheres are picked. Game will also crash when right-click on Hide Out skill. (reported by Outis on Steam)
– Bolster DOES remove the dislike/hate terrain penalty but it’s not correctly displayed (see the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJHCndRTx4U around 2:30) but I guess only Triumph can change that displayI start listing the icons we need:
– Lesser Mighty Meek
– Cloaked in Shadows
– Lesser Charm
– Lesser Convert
– Lesser Seduce
– Lesser Control Undead
– Scouting
– Ghouling Strike
– Fortifying Meal
– Flash Bomb
– Combat HealingIs the FX effect for Cloaked in Shadows new?
– Cloaked in Shadows
Is icon from Hide Out not good for that?
– Ghouling Strike
Is icon from Inflict Ghoul Curse not good for that?
– Scouting
Is icon from Scout Training skill not good for that?
Is the FX effect for Cloaked in Shadows new?
Of course, nope.
So where does the FX effect for Cloaked in Shadows come from?
No the icons from other abilities are not good because they can confuse players: Death Bringers have IGC. The Hide Out icon does not look like a cloak at all, it’s not good for immersion in my opinion.
The Scouting icon is good but I guess it’s better to have a new one.Other issues:
– No icon for Sadism in Dungeon? So it does not appear when you preview the fight on the strategic map
– Not clear if Blood Pavillon applies to Incorporeal, Elemental, etc. in Dungeon? The target should be the same as Suffocate and it should be clear in the description
– Elite Shamans do not have Combat Healing in addition to Healing (though it’s written “Combat Healing” in the description of their Healing ability… strangely). Same issue for Evangelists
– Why Undeads, Elementals and creatures of Magical Origin are not affected by the Domain of XX?
– Domain of Life has no ability associated so is not fully displayed in the unit panel. Same for Domain of the Sun.
– Wind Ward still present for Air Master (got it through Erasmus cheat; but it’s not in the Tome of Wonder)Something else that needs an icon:
– Heavy Winds– No icon for Sadism in Dungeon? So it does not appear when you preview the fight on the strategic map
I suppose this because preview supports only 1 enchantment.
– Not clear if Blood Pavillon applies to Incorporeal, Elemental, etc. in Dungeon? The target should be the same as Suffocate and it should be clear in the description
I’ll check.
– Elite Shamans do not have Combat Healing in addition to Healing (though it’s written “Combat Healing” in the description of their Healing ability… strangely). Same issue for Evangelists
I’ll check.
– Why Undeads, Elementals and creatures of Magical Origin are not affected by the Domain of XX?
Because this is vanilla stuff. Domain of… spells can’t be researched by Necro btw.
– Domain of Life has no ability associated so is not fully displayed in the unit panel. Same for Domain of the Sun.
This is intended. I didn’t add special abilities for simple buffs.
– Wind Ward still present for Air Master (got it through Erasmus cheat; but it’s not in the Tome of Wonder)
If you can’t find Wind Ward in your spellbook then all is ok.
2 new issues reported:
– ” Lesser and Greater animate dead is useless in auto combat, the AI dont prioritze to give undying before engaging.” from a report of a recent game https://www.the-battlefield.com/aow3/index.php?page=resultinfo&gamenumber=469. Is it possible to change that?
– Karissa’s Perfume apparently gives Cause Fear instead of the planned Cause Berserk (Medium Range, cast Berserk on target enemy unit)2 new issues reported:
Fixed.
So where does the FX effect for Cloaked in Shadows come from?
I used some already created (perhaps, Hide Out itself). Nothing new.
