Re: Dominions II Bug Thread

little remark, but still of importance if you play this theme:
the Serpent Cataphract of the Pythium Serpent
Cult dont have a light lance, only a spear.

This isn't a bug. Most of the light cavalry units have been changed to use a light lance now instead of a spear.

Enslave Minding an opponent's (commander) prophet, his unit name turned into " the Prophet". He kept his sacred status, though.

Would be nice if an enslaved prophet could regain his original title...

Fiddling with assorted mods including the Hoburg SE turning it on and off, the "Create God" screen's description for Ulm's Master Alchemist was once that of the Great Rainmaker although the image was correctly that of the Alchemist. Something's not being reset there.

Machaka equipment buglet:

* Give a magic shield (only) to a Machaka Chief, and his equipment becomes a spear and two shields. (His original shield is considered body armor??)

Also, in 2.11, I notice sometimes that the wrong size of rectangle seems to show up on the army formation diagram sometimes. A group with one or two men will sometimes show up as a fairly large rectangle (usually seen for a group of 10-20 men), while a fairly large group (a group of about 15 men and giant scorpions) will sometimes show up as a very small rectangle. It's not often and I hadn't ever noticed that happening before. The units in question are Machakan.

This essentially forces me to alchematize to 25 gems to cast a 20 gem spell. Is this purposeful or a bug?

I've noticed this also. It was pretty annoying when I was trying to cast Ether Gate (90 Astral) at a 40% conj bonus site, but it wouldn't let me unless I had the full 90 gems. I think it's a bug, because in a similar situation, it's not necessary to have the full cost when you construct items. (ie: the game is aware of the reduced cost at purchase time)

I've seen this also in my current Arcoscephale game. One group of 4 vine men has a rectangle about the size of 50 militia, and one group of 12 Heart Companions has a rectangle of about 30 militia. I think I've also seen the opposite case (big group with a small box), but I don't remember the specifics of that case.

This one is already fixed for next patch.

Re: Dominions II Bug Thread

Under Dom 1 heat penalties were relative and began when scales were 2 different from the preferred scale (i.e. most nations suffered fatigue in heat or cold 2). After a little testing I've determined that giants no longer get fatigue penalties of any kind in Heat 1 or 2 provinces. Is this intended? Has this been changed from Dom1.

The Serpent cult Cataphracts do have a light lance.
