Re: Banquet for the Dead vs. caster (Ashdod)
 

Disappearing random magics due to number of mods bug has been listed as fixed on the progress page.

Re: Banquet for the Dead vs. caster (Ashdod)
 

Zeldor:
What does the debug log show for Astral Healing?
It doesn't look like VoR should have overridden it unless Astral Healing couldn't be cast for some reason.

Re: Banquet for the Dead vs. caster (Ashdod)
 

I won't put whole log for that caster, but it goes like that:

And no more mentions of Astral Healing there. I will put whole file with what happened with that mage.

Re: Banquet for the Dead vs. caster (Ashdod)
 

The score zero has to mean Astral Healing couldn't be cast.
Maybe nobody was wounded?

Regardless, Vortex of Returning really shouldn't be cast unscripted. Nor should Returning.

Re: Banquet for the Dead vs. caster (Ashdod)
 

Yeah, no one was wounded. I am not complaining that he did not cast Astral Healing but that he decided to choose Vortex of Returning. The game was already finished and I won, but if that happened in normal battle [that was outside of fort of only VP - imagine someone storming the only VP with few units and defending mage casting Vortex] it would be devastating. He had plenty of other spells to choose...

Re: Banquet for the Dead vs. caster (Ashdod)
 

Yeah, it's been suggested that Vortex of Returning is made non-AI spell.

You still haven't posted the spellscore for Vortex, though. Could you just attach the relevant log file as a text attachment?

Re: Banquet for the Dead vs. caster (Ashdod)
 

Here it goes.

Re: Banquet for the Dead vs. caster (Ashdod)
 

The second-highest result was for Body Ethereal (584), while Vortex got 695. I think the AI just calculated which spell would affect most people, and the first-turn-buff boost wasn't enough to give the top place to Body Ethereal.

Re: Banquet for the Dead vs. caster (Ashdod)
 

Monthly ritual Casters who pick up Old age afflictions that reduce their magic paths will continue to cast the ritual.

At least for one turn, I haven't played the next one yet.

A Crystal Mage casting Gnome Lore monthly picked up Mute and now only has 1E, but is still casting Gnome Lore this month.

I assume this is due to the spell being assigned before the old age afflictions are determined. If it's only this month it isn't too bad, if he can keep casting as long as I don't try to change his orders, that's more of an issue.


Edit: The next turn he stopped, so it's only a one turn problem.

Re: Banquet for the Dead vs. caster (Ashdod)
 

Wow, the bug thread escaped from the front page! That has to be a good sign.

One from Wick on the Machaka thread:

863 Apostatic Warrior is stealth 0, probably should be 15 or 20 if he's an "able assassin".
