and for 8 gem ring of wizardry
50% FoA + 15% hammer + 20% site bonus = 85% off of 55 gems = 8.25 rounded down to 8 gems?


It is definitely not stacking, it is sequential. Because it is sequential, it matters not what the order is.

Anyway, if it were additive, FoA+Hammer would put a 25 gem item to 6 gems, but they will in fact be 9 gems every time.

Well, if it rounds at every step it can matter what the order is.

Personal bonuses (Master Smiths, etc) stack with hammers.
The Forge and Site bonuses are applied separately.

Actually, I think it does. From my testing with the Steel Ovens, hammers and Forge up, I got results that only worked if rounding happened after each step in the sequence.

Prime example: You have The Steel Ovens, Forge and a Dwarven Hammer. You forge a Horror Helm. Applying the Forge puts cost to 5, then the Ovens for 4, then the hammer for 3. In game, the cost is 2 gems. To get this result, you must be rounding down between steps of the sequence, and you can't apply the Steel Ovens bonus first.

It does round down between steps.

That's an excellent point, I wasn't thinking of the rounding ripple effects.

You can press 'Shift-F' (free?) in the review battle screen.

This unlocks the numpad '7' and '9' keys to rotate the camera about its Y-axis, and the 'Home' and 'End' keys to rotate the camera about its X-axis.

It also unlocks limits placed on the normal battlefield camera movement keys.

Very cool. Nice for storming forts, where you can never see what's going on in the gate.

It does seem to cause a seg fault if you rotate too far, though.

Wow! I have wanted this capability for the longest time. Thanks!

If you wield all three of the following items, you get Awe+0:

Whip of Command
Sceptre of Authority
Crown of Command

I needed to gate some units and wanted to increase my leadership, so I made all three, and ... ooh! Surprise, the Awe icon popped on.

All those items increase leadership, and very high leadership value gives you awe.
