I didn't take any death, and looking of the gamesave now shows no deathscale in any of my provinces.
And even if I did have a Death scale, is it really strong enough to make you age at ~x25 the normal rate?

Re: Bug thread
 

Equipping magic weapons on commanders with 4 arms is very buggy : for example, the Destroyer of Worlds has 4 hand slots, starts with 4 weapons (2 melee, 2 ranged). Equipping a Thorn Spear costs _all_ 4 slots, while adding an Enchanted Shield gives back the Plague Bow and Lightning ranged attacks.

Same thing happens if a Serpent Kryss or Enchanted Sword is equipped. And, if two magical weapons are equipped, _plus_ a shield, the pretender now has 2 melee attacks, 2 ranged, _and_ a shield. In fact, a Black Steel Tower Shield can be added, for 2 (forged) magical melee weapons, 2 magic shields, and 2 missile weapons equipped. Take away the 2 weapons, he doesn't get the original equipped items back, instead gets a useless kick. And of course, equipping the shields _before_ the weapons takes away the missile weapons.

Bugged Random Nations in demo : playing the demo, I just started a game with about 5 random nations, myself playing Arcoscephale.

Looking at the Hall of Fame, apparently there are at least 2 other Arco nations in the game. Worse, not only can I see the stats on their entries into the HoF, but I can see the units : one Prince of Death, and a Wyrm, with the exact same name as my own Wyrm pretender.

To put icing on the cake, the other two pretenders have heroic abilities. Mind, they might not be pretenders - they display as "Femur of Arcoscephale" and "Togrul Beg of Arcoscephale" rather than as "Togrul Beg, God of XyZ". In which case it seems pretty buggy that they're showing up as normal unit commanders for a duplicate nation.

The 'H' keyboard shortcut for healing doesn't work. Selecting an Arco Priestess and typing 'H' doesn't do anything, despite it being listed in keyboard shortcuts and on her individual command.

Edit: Actually, keyboard seems to get rather buggy in all. The Escape key stopped bringing up the Settings / game menu by Late Spring of Year 4, although it still closed other screens and menus. Quitting (by killing the process) and restarting returned Escape key behavior to normal, although 'H' still doesn't work to heal.

Happened again, but this time I have score graphs on, and used a non-default name for my pretender. There isn't a second Arcosephale nation, but once again, there's a Moloch and another Wyrm (named Wyrm, just like my pretender) in the HoF when I started with 2 random nations in the demo, and a non-imprisoned pretender.

Re: Bug thread
 

Commanders start with a little bit of variation in their ages. It can go both ways. After being recruited, units should age at constant speed, and AFAIK Death scale only affects how fast afflictions accumulate, not the speed of aging. I'm not sure what the manual states on this.
Some old spells have changed and now cause aging. Decay, IIRC, at least. I doubt that's what happened in your case, but that's another thing that could happen.

Re: Bug thread
 

Then that must be it.
That means that this is in fact a display bug, where on the recruitment screen the initial age shows for a unit is a single number instead of a range of numbers.
Unless the confusion is intentional.

Playing the demo as Atlantis, was able to bid for Black Bone and his pirates, but the pirates didn't make it - I guess experienced users may know of this gotcha but I think it is a bug - they should have arrived in their ship.

GM12

Re: Bug thread
 

Actually, there are no ships in Dominions. Sailing ability allows units to move over a sea, but sea battles always take place in the bottom of the ocean.

There is a bug in this, but it's the fact the pirates would accept to come under water. I quess Black Bone himself had some kind of water-breathing item.

Re: Bug thread
 

The ship lets them cross oceans, not enter them. They can't survive underwater.

Re: Bug thread
 

Yes Black Bone had a ring of underwater breathing

Re: Bug thread
 

I wouldn't put that in the bug thread. It's one old map preview that doesn't work. It's more likely map problem itself then it is game problem.

Re: Bug thread
 

Something strange with slingers/javelinists behavior. I can't be more precise... sometimes they fire normally when ordered to, sometimes they run to melee range without throwing anything, sometimes they fire one time then go to melee. And it's not because they are engaged : I've seen several times after a volley a full squad of slingers moving from a normal range to melee without reason. I think slingers/javelinists become buggy when an unit unable to fire is mixed with them, or when one is wounded and can't use his weapon (but it looks like it's not systematic).

(see this thread )

Another bug or perhaps they are just too stupid : archers and slingers without a commander outside the province defense one (units in garnison or recruited this turn) attack in melee instead of using their ranged weapons.

From the Aagartha pale one description one could think they are poor amphibious but they are all good amphibious.

The black on forest provinces was hard to see as well. Perhaps red would make the text more terrain neutral? (Ideal solution would be a shortcut key to cycle through a few colors so the player could pick a default color during battle replay?)

Diseased unit not losing health
In Dom2, and in the description, a "diseased" unit should lose 1 hp per turn. I've had a diseased guy regaining health over a few turns of doing nothing (it might be a sacred unit, and my pretender does have a Nature blessing, but I don't think it should matter - and my Pretender is fast asleep)

This is in the demo version, in case it matters.

Nonexistent Pretender from an absent Nation shows up in Hall of Fame

While trying the demo, I mistakenly created a Pretender for Arcoscephale, named "a" (couldn't quit without typing a name, and the caps key wouldn't let me call him "A"). When I created a game, with no Arcoscephale nation, "a" showed up in the Hall of Fame as the Pretender for Arcoscephale.

Using the 'y' feature for Army Setup when there are troops in the targeted province works oddly.
The commanders and squads in the province appear and can be given orders but their position squares do not appear.

This may seem like an odd thing to do, since it's intended for coordinating attacks, but it seemed natural when I was reinforcing a seiging army.

Re: Bug thread
 

If you mean that their poisoned weapons always cause poison when they hit, it's always been that way. If you mean they cause poison even if they don't hit, that'd be a bug. But mermen and other troops with poisoned weapons have always been tough to take.

Leadership reduction from afflictions doesn't affect troops already with the commander

Map Bug: Parganos: Province 31 is not marked "no start".

That's not a playable starting position for most factions. It's a landprovince, and it borders many provinces, but every border province is water! You can't expand unless you're an amphibious nation.

It takes like 20 seconds in the map editor to fix, but the game should not be packaged with a map that produces starting positions that are so amazingly unplayable.

Custom Maps do not display properly.

I made a Hyborian Age map with 108 provinces and a .tga file that is 20 mb in size. This displays beautifully in Dominions 2, but when moved to Dominions 3 it shows all the provinces as points on a blank background.

It appears equally invisible in the map editor and the game itself. But the same .tga loads up fine in Dominions 2 both in the map editor and the game.
