Karakan, try selecting your evocation-scripted mages among mages with a random (or not) pick in Nature or Air.

Have them open up with Eagle eyes or Aim before bLasting away.

The other scale changes are less frequent (although I've seen them ~10 times now), and seem to happen only in the capital just after you submit your first turn.

From what I've seen so far my conclusion is: positive order/production/growth scales can sometimes be reset to zero in your capital in turn #2, and when it happens it affects all said scales. These scales will then tend to revert to their natural values as your dominion kicks in.

Burning Pearl gives fire protection(100).

I think it should be less...

Re: Dominions II Bug Thread
 

Or cost more. Currently, the rings still seem pretty worthless... if you can get protection AND another effect in one slot for 5 gems, why would you bother with a 5-gem ring that only provides protection?

Re: Dominions II Bug Thread
 

I think IW has said that most of the items shouldn't give 100% prot from fire/shock/ice/poison. Must be somekind of leftovers from time before percentual resistances...

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Elemental armor definitely seems like one....

Re: Dominions II Bug Thread
 

another bug (or is it a strange work as designed feature?):

mixing units (in same formation) with missiles capability (velites) and units without, will prevent the first Category to fire.

velites + triari
peltasts + hoplites
etc.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Ah, true, but the point is that I perceive it to be much harder to cast a perfect circle with half a hundred blades, than an even covering of a great area, as the spell suggests. Instead, it's a nice concentric ring quite obviously surrounding my mage's designated target, which looks fairly ridiculous with the Blade Wind spell in particular.

I still believe there's something pretty odd with the "missing" algorithm. It currently looks like something like: "If (precision smaller than specific number) and (range greater than another specific number) then set minimum distance for scattering around target to a third specific numer". Which doesn't make much sense to simulate scatternig.... It's not as obvious with arrows, or with other mass projectile spells, like flying shards. Just Bladweind seems to suffer from that, I guess an additional scatter routine seems to miss...
