Ah, too bad.

Re: Warhammer Dwarfs, discussion/hype thread
 

Hum, maybe it is possible to mod a new spell by copying "Power of the Spheres" and giving it a negative damage (not sure if it will works, but it might be worth a try) ? You could then use this spell with #onebattlespell.

Re: Warhammer Dwarfs, discussion/hype thread
 

I can see what you mean, but it just cannot be done. The "Power fo the Spheres" is a hardcoded buff effect. Modding it to reduce paths would be like trying make Regenreration to be hp-loss (a'k'a impossible).

I think that I have good compromise with the "enc 3 Runic Armor" treatment. The loss of a body slot is a shame, but not that much of a loss (whoa, you can't use Robe of the Sea! Big deal).

Re: Warhammer Dwarfs, discussion/hype thread
 

99% sure it doesn't work that way.

Re: Warhammer Dwarfs, discussion/hype thread
 

On a different notice, I've been thinking about the Gyrocopter. I've reached to the conclusion that even with "runemagic did it" explanation, I just can't see them thematically fitting with these no-gunpowder Dwarfs I'm making. It would stand out (in a bad way).

So I'm in a need of some ideas for an A1E1 engineer-summon (to mirror the F1A1 flamethrower summon). My mind keeps on drawing blanks.

Net launchers/harpoon guns.

Re: Warhammer Dwarfs, discussion/hype thread
 

I'd suggest thunderers or perhaps a scaled-down organ gun, firing runic lightning or something instead of bullets to keep within the NO GUNPOWDERS restriction. (...though it may well risk getting too skaven-y.)

Re: Warhammer Dwarfs, discussion/hype thread
 

For Runesmith, I have been thinking on another solution, that would use the #<landtype>shape commands to give them alternate forms with a negative magicboost in all lands except montains, so fluff-wise it would means having the runesmiths stronger in their home montains.

However there is no #mountainshape yet as far as the manual says. Maybe giving them #watershape, #plainshape and #forestshape ? But then they would get their increased shape in not only mountains, but also caves (no problem there I think) and swamps (and here, I have a hard time justifying it).

I suppose it could be almost

Re: Warhammer Dwarfs, discussion/hype thread
 

#plainshape doesn't mean plains, it means 'not forest'.

Re: Warhammer Dwarfs, discussion/hype thread
 

Oh, missed that, thanks.

So for now we can only mods a special shape for forest or land/water, too bad ... :(
