Is this a bug? They are walking around whipping themselves. But the one's that are missing eyes...they might want to tone down the devotion a little, no?

Re: Bug thread
 

They are supposed to have some afflictions, but AFAIK, the majority should be relatively healthy (at least as long as they don't get into any battles, what with them being unarmoured...).

However, the recruited ones have just as many afflictions. I quess that's how things are and not a bug with the event.

Re: Bug thread
 

Flaming arrows. About half my army fire flaming arrows in the battle, while the other half fire regular arrows. When I check the unit description, they all show flaming arrows. It is my cheap monkey archers (Khalsi) who do not show the graphic. As they rarely hit, I have not been able to tell if their arrows are actually having the benifit of the flaming arrow.

Also, I never seem to win, but that may not be a bug with the game!

Re: Bug thread
 

I quess it's because the Markata have Small Bows, not Short or Long bows. As such, I'd quess the actual bug is that

Small Bows are not affected by Flaming Arrows.

Re: Bug thread

Are these by chance Markata Archers #1120 of Kailasa / Bandar Log ??

Re: Bug thread
 

[img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Bug.gif[/img] siege calculations seem to be bugged

My fort was unsuccessfully stormed, then I've been besieged in a fortified city for like twenty turns. Occasionaly the enemy sends in reinforcements, then "defence left" drops to ca. 160, then during the following turns, although I get the message "our walls are damaged" the "defence left" goes up until I got the message "they can't breach our walls". I've only got 20 soldiers + 70 mindless, no flyers nor defence bonus troops in the fort while the enemy has 120-200 besieging troops and plenty of commanders to lead them.
Either calculations are bugged or the enemy does something strange with besieging troops instead of sieging (no signs of pillaging here).
Savegame attached, if anybody feels like looking into the situation (the siege in Vanheim)

Re: Bug thread
 

I am sure they are the short bow weilding, 5gp one resource cost units, but can not check the name here in the office.

Re: Bug thread
 

Those are the Markata Archers, and those have Small Bows, not Short Bows - of which no "Fire Small Bow" variant seem to exists ... .

Re: Bug thread
 

my bug list (been saving them up for bit):

dwarven smith appears twice in early age Vanheim

typo in aboleth description "ot"

in one case a randomly generated map had my home province NOT CONNECTED TO ANY OTHER PROVINCES. provinces not connected to any other are common in randomly generated maps

menu still appears in wrong place when opened by pressing space while a commander is selected. appears partially off the right edge of the screen if the mouse is in the middle of the screen.

alt-key still sticks frequently.

window sometimes seems to... get lost... when un-fullscreening dom3

when in army setup screen, pressing tab can result in view being off the bottom of the list

upper right hand corner "face" of GUI boxes sometimes doesn't appear when near the right edge of screen

can scroll down using the plus key past the end (but only by one) of the units

sound screws up if I leave the program minimized for too long

battle sounds play during the betweeen-turns-calculations

strands of arcane power "...X enemy mages with the help of HIS..." on a female caster

bandar log middle era description is missing the "Race: blah...Magic: blah...Priests:..."

(monthly) casting still doesn't work for some spells (Curse Of The Blood)

also, (monthly) castings next-turn-gem-check still doesn't factor in that turns gem income

hamas dryads still have flavor text that says they can't leave their home provinces... and still are perfectly capable of leaving their home province

unit stacks get split in strange ways (ie click on a unit, press 'a' for all of them, select a commander to stick them on, and half a dozen slots may appear on the commander with a random assortment of units in each)

battle symbols (crossed swords) appear in the first turn on newly created random map, as if a battle had taken place there before the game started. these include provinces that I can't see.

sometimes interface doesn't seem to work... switching provinces and switching back fixes it. could just be confusion on my part?

vampire lords can't use water breathing items, but national troops can? I guess this is probably intentional, one of the many, many ways that vampire lords have been nerfed

vaetti hags start old age at 50. vaette cheiftains start it at 100. vaette at 50.

independants have temples. happened in dom2 also, but seems much more common now

vaetti hags don't require a lab to build

you can search in territories you are besieging, but cannot see the sites found in such a manner

if one of your forts was besieged, and you attack the besieging force and win, it may tell you that your province was conquered

Re: Bug thread
 

Few things:
Make bugs bold. That makes them easier to find.

These are bugs, or at least features working in unintentional ways, AFAIK.

These are working as intended. Seeing that the unit view is empty after this line is GOOD. Otherwise, you won't see that you are already at the end.

Hama Dryads and similar units will lose hp when away from their home province.

Vampires can't go under water.

And finally, independent provinces can be targeted by random events.

Re: Bug thread
 

They shouldn't get temples unless they have their own dominion. Which, so far as I know, they don't. Also, frequently their temples are *my* temples - a province can become independant without losing the temple to me there. Or maybe that was dom2?

Re: Bug thread
 

[img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Bug.gif[/img] Machaka national hero 'King Triumphant' starts out as old - 63 (50). In his unit description it mentions specifically that he was granted a 'rather long life as king'. This may be a design issue... but with the slim chance of landing a national hero, having him start out as elderly isn't exactly 'heroic'. This is compounded by the fact that he would have made a good thug if not for being at the end of his life (Awe 0, priest 3, standard 10).

Admittedly this may be by design and I suppose I could just make a mod to change this... however I seriously question if this was an intentional age set for a unique (only ever will get one of him) national hero.

Agartha recieves the same province defense under water as on the surface.

According to the manual Agartha should receive wet ones as provice defense under water. In a current MP game I noted that they are receiving Pale ones and earth readers under water.

Re: Bug thread
 

3.01

Modding National Spells does not work

Thought: the mod manual claims that you use the same procedure as for Dominions 2- where you assign the spell a path of -2 and it appears pre-researched for the appropriate faction. Obviously that's not how it works, because Dominions 3 does not recognize the "level zero non-school spells" that Dominions 2 had.

In Dominions 3, spells have a path and a research value even if they are specific to a nation. Therefore the actually modding command is something more like #restrictedgod. So in a way this is a manual bug more than a game bug. Although since I have no idea what the actual command is, I can't actually tell if national spell modding really works.

Re: Bug thread
 

Bug: Reincarnation message with Bandar Log
I've seen twice in a game with Bandar Log the message:
****v has died and been reincarnated as a fully grown White One.
The problem is '****v' is actually a series of squares followed by a triangle (point down).
So I have no idea who died, can't see it and have no idea where it happened either.
Renaming was allowed but I hadn't renamed any unit.

Re: Bug thread
 

Those symbols you see are probably unchecked checkboxes from e.g. Audio and Video Settings, and that triangle (point down) is probably the same as the "down" arrow in tax, PD etc screens. It sounds like a bug all right.

They do. Unfortunately, it's bonus to ARMOR, and Flagellants don't wear any armor. It works on Knights of the Chalice, because they are wearing armor.

Freezing cloud seems to cause significantly more damage than listed 1 AN. Worse, cold resistance doesn't seem very effective, as my LA Atlantis units with 50 or 75 CR suffered heavily from it.

&lt;bold&gt; Can't run the game in Ubuntu Draper &lt;/bold&gt;

When trying to start the game in Ubuntu 6.06, the screen flashes briefly and I get the message:

Creating link /home/winkler/.kde/socket-ubuntu.
can't create mcop directory

The game worked before, but stopped a few days ago after a routine update that involved nvidia drivers and I can't remember what else. I reinstalled the game and installed the patch, but no go. Any suggestions?

Re: Bug thread
 

From what I understand, an obsidion 'club'/sword is a large two-handed sword-like weapon (since it's a long piece of wood with obsidian shards enbedded in it), and thus it being length 3 coincides with the length of all other 2-handed sword-type weapons.

There are plenty of other 2-handed 'clubs' in the game that are also length 3.

Re: Bug thread
 

That's a major bug, known (at least to the players if not the devs) that they didn't see fit to fix in the first patch. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Then again, they didn't look at fixed versions of maps, the CB mods, etc, that had been around for over a year. Feh.

Re: Bug thread
 

Are you sure? It's Armor Negating. That means that it's still increased by the open ended die roll. Fully half of the victims of Freezing Mist will take more than a point, the ther half will take less (which is to say: none).

Freezing Mist is a deadly spell, but from what I've seen I think it works as intended.

Very little and unimportant bug:

Yeah, I ran into this as well. It's a known arts bug.
Essentially it thinks you're running kde and expects certain directories to exist.
Fix is simple though.
Just create the directory it's looking for:

They are armed with halberds, but assorted Shamblers (war shamblers, coral guards, mother guards) get huge coral glaives along with turtle shields.
It might be that coral glaives are one-handed code-wise and mournful's 2-h halberds override the shields

AI opponent of R'yleh dreamlands will send anyone into the void gate instead of units with the summoning skill. This results in the death of commanders... even powerful commanders such as prophets. I setup a R'yleh computer opponent with a non-moving(0/2) commander with 9_astral, two items and over 100 life to make the game more challenging. By turn_5 the creature was dead. Perhaps a small AI adjustment can be done where the AI opponents with mages of magic path 5 or higher are not used for entering magic sites.

Re: Bug thread
 

Am I doing something wrong? I conquered a coastal region that allowed me to recruit tritons and triton commanders. I did. The commander drowned the next turn. Seems wrong to me...has anyone else had this problem? I am using the 3.01 patch.

In my 3.01 Testgame i just want to try out an Awe Pretender

I don't know why but when using F3 (Hall of Fame) There are 3(!!!) Arco Pretenders (my nation) in the Top 10, 2 of them are Virtues (which i chose) and 1 is a Mother of Serpents. I can click on each of the 3 Prtenders and got detailed inforamtions, but only 1 can be found on the board (the true one)

Very weird.

I attach my save game zip.

Re: Bug thread
 

I'm pretty sure I had this several times too (in 3.00). Was the province initially defended by Kappas? This was my experience - when an independent province has Kappas as defenders, the poptype there lets you recruit tritons instead, who will "drown" instantly.
