<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">That's because you have a save file (trn, 2h or fthrland) from 2.08 in there somwwhere. Erase your 2h and trn files in that game and you should be able to continue with Version 2.06 unless you have already advanced one turn.

Re: Dominions II Bug Thread
 

In 2.08 modded units with #animalawe (maybe all units, don't know what unmodded unit would have animal awe) have the "animal" icon when viewed in game. A bug surely?

Re: Dominions II Bug Thread
 

I've deleted everything regarding 2.08 (Turns, fatherland files, etc) and it will not load. The turn hasn't advanced at all. It has stayed on the same turn, though other games in 2.08 have advanced on the server.

So, the 2.06 game did not advance or change turns. But other games on the server (it has 3) have been modified to use the 2.08 dom2.exe and advanced a turn. (If that's clear)

Will this make it incompatable?

Still the same error. I have restarted and cleared temp files in case it was something in the Cache or similiar and it still gives the same error message.

Re: Dominions II Bug Thread
 

Bugs I noted in 2.08:

The SB Twin Spear does not do any damage.
(edit: removed ethereal crossbow note)

Both pretty major. I think the ethereal crossbow was not working in 2.06, also: It fires, but the bolts do no damage, ever.

The Twin Spear (that reincarnates the dead): I gave a commander Amon Hotep, Robe of Shadows, and a few other things to make him nearly indestructable. He attacked 2 different indy provinces, and ONLY DID DAMAGE IN REPELS! He never killed a single enemy, versus militia and later barbarians.

I had suspect behavior with other configurations, so there may be a deep problem in the combat engine... but I was at least able to kill enemies with the other twin spear. However, it may be related to the other equipment, not the weapon itself. Who knows?

As for the ethereal xbow, I fired it into a big group of approaching (unshielded) militia. The commander had an eye of aiming for 15 base precision, the bolt landed in the militia each time, and never did anything get hurt.

In further testing it seems I was just very unlucky with the crossbow. But as for the twin spears, I confirmed that the Send Horror one works, and the other one never damages the enemy (except maybe in repels).

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">You deleted the fatherland file too! That will make your saved game lost forever. So what is the problem after that? Doesn't dominions start at all? Try deleting the files in the newlords directory too.

Re: Dominions II Bug Thread
 

I think the Nerid (shouldn't that be Nereid, BTW?) has the 'male' flag. I've seen her given titles like 'He who is ...' or 'Prince of ...' or 'King of ...' at pretender generation, and don't remember seeing the female variants of these titles.

Not sure how important it is, but since there are abilities which rely on gender to work, it probably should be fixed.
