Unique monsters do not get heroic abilities.

Re: MA Skavenblight 1.15 hotfix
 

They aren't unique monsters, they are two of the heroes in the Skaven mod. All of the other heroes that I got received a heroic ability, these are the only ones who didn't.

Re: MA Skavenblight 1.15 hotfix
 

Yes they are. The #unique tag makes these heroes unique monsters.

From the .mod:

#newmonster 2584
...
#unique
#onebattlespell 132 -- summons 50 giant rats
#end
...

#newmonster 2586
...
#unique
#onebattlespell "Personal Luck"
#end


...
#multihero1 2584 -- Skweel Gnawtooth
#multihero2 2586 -- Tretch Craventail

Oh, that's actually not good! If you get either of them twice (multihero enables that), since he's unique, he'll disappear from wherever he currently is, his gear will be sucked into the void, and he'll appear naked in your capitol. If he was leading an army group, it will lose its leader.

Re: MA Skavenblight 1.15 hotfix
 

Chances of getting the same multihero twice when you have 8 possible heroes, anyone?

I agree it's not ideal, but I have 8 heroes and only 6 hero slots. That's the best solution.

Re: MA Skavenblight 1.15 hotfix
 

The only reason I know about it is because it happened to me in a game.

If you remove the "unique" attribute from those heroes, there's no more problem (except for thematic ones). Or you could make two of the other heroes non-unique, and make those non-unique heroes the multiheroes.

Re: MA Skavenblight 1.15 hotfix
 

They're unique for a reason. If they weren't you could get two of them turn up. I don't see how that's preferable to the current situation. Both are very unlikely though. I've played through several test games and never seen it.

Re: MA Skavenblight 1.15 hotfix
 

Well, just add some description text then. :)

"Every month there's a very small chance Tretch will bugger off and abandon any army he's leading, pawn all his gear, and spend the loot on hookers and frenzon. He'll reappear naked in your capitol needing to be kitted out again."

Re: MA Skavenblight 1.15 hotfix
 

I see what Sombre did now. I'am not savvy with any kind of modding, or the internal database of Dominions. I thought for sure it was something wrong with the heroes themselves, due to them not being like the other heroes. Sorry about that vfb.

Re: MA Skavenblight 1.15 hotfix
 

Oh, no problem at all! It's useful to know which ones are unique, after all.

Re: MA Skavenblight 1.15 hotfix
 

It does say he's a craven coward, iirc, who epitomises the untrustworthiness of the skaven character.

Re: MA Skavenblight 1.15 hotfix
 

Well, that's good enough for me then. So long as I don't forget, and stick Magebane or The Chalice on him, I'll be fine. :D

Re: MA Skavenblight 1.15 hotfix
 

Hahah.

Honestly it is pretty much a mod specific bug that they vanish like that, but it's rare and I prefer it to the alternatives which are not having them as heroes (instead as summons, for instance) or having the potential for multiple copies of them to show up.

If it would help I could move the heroes around so that the ones with the least slots (queek and,.. Skrolk maybe?) are the ones that can vanish and reappear at the cap sometimes.

Re: MA Skavenblight 1.15 hotfix
 

hmm interesting idea... an immortal hero that has a disease (and or autocasts it)... resulting in him periodically respawning in the capital

I used the same bug in a R'yllah mod. The explanation was one of the heros was a time travellor, and not stable in time...

Re: MA Skavenblight 1.15 hotfix
 

TC has one of those, with the plague. But since he's immortal, the disease can go away.
