Yeah, still waiting.

My parents don't believe in web shops, or to my ability to resist playing when I should be doing school stuff. They know me too well... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Anyway, I have it in my wishlist... We'll see.

Re: Dominions II Bug Thread
 

Here's a weird one:

Whenever I create a god after playing a few turns and then exitting, or having created another god before - strictly speaking, if doing *anything* other than creating a god being the first thing I do -, I cannot capitalize any letters in the god's name!

Re: Dominions II Bug Thread
 

I posted this under "killing retreating commanders."

Basically, in a SP game, I replay a battle and find that commanders are killed in the replay when they survive after the battle. This only appears to happen with enemy commanders, never my own.

Once the commander that retreated was a pretender. Another time it was a dwarf smith who had cast destruction one too many times and was too exhausted to move.

I no longer have the save game.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">The first god I made in the full game, I could not capitalize letters. That was never a problem in the demo, and it has never happened since.

P.S. I always run in windowed mode.

P.P.S. Major bug: Moloch cannot be used as a supercombattant! The imps that he gets for free are super-weak and rout very quickly against really weak enemies. And when they rout, he routs, even though he can often beat the enemy army alone, and has 30 morale.

I really like the imps. It makes the Moloch reign supreme in the arena, immune to assassination, and it adds a nice touch. But as it stands, for game mechanics reasons, the free imps make the Moloch way less valuable.

Several solutions:

1) make the Moloch ignore the routing status of his imps;
2) give imps much higer morale;
3) make a new class of imp with very high morale or mindless status that appears for Molochs and Lifelong Protections;
4) Take away the Moloch's imps, since that would make him more powerful.

There seems to be something with the shift key if you start in windowed mode. The "?" wasn't working either. You can start in fullscreen, and then switch to window by hitting alt-enter. That should fix the problem in my experience.

Re: Dominions II Bug Thread
 

Yeah Saber Cherry, I pointed out the imp moloch weakness too. In fact, I'm not sure, but I think the imps routing somehow causes your entire army to rout. I do know I'm not using the Moloch until his imps are fixed...its so unsatisfying to make a 9 fire pretender for bless and have him unable to attack solo with fire spells.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">The same problem occurs with the Prince of Death and his longdeads. He's routed after two of the three around him were killed, which doesn't make a lot of sense.
