If the percentage from heat/gold and growth/death is simply added up, that is!

Re: Dominions II Bug Thread
 

If they're added, yes. I don't have any reason to believe they wouldn't be. Remember, income bonuses from order and production are all added up, so why would supply bonuses not be? I've not seen any indication or mention that the bonuses from different scales would be multiplicative rather than additive.

Oh, and according to the manual it's 20% reduction per death scale, so Death 3 + Cold 2 for Heat 1 pref nation means 90% reduction for supplies. This kind of thing would be consistent with the numbers Cainehill provided if you take an average province with ~60-80 supplies plus two Farms of Plenty, then toss in Death 2 or 3 (from somebody's Dominion, undiscovered Well of Pestilence or whatever) and a 3 point difference bewteen local heat/cold scale vs national preferred heat/cold scale.

In one of my games, Makabiel the Heliophagus spontaneously got 25704 experience and shot to number 1 on teh hero list by a huge margin. He was hiding in a province that got ghost ridered, but there weren't that many units there. He still has 0 kills. Bug or somehow explainable?

Re: Dominions II Bug Thread
 

No bug per se, Mabakiel causes disease which kills population, and each population killed earns him XP. Same for Pazuzu and any commander with Bane Venom Charm. Of course, one could argue that this "feature" is instead a bug, but it's a known issue.

Re: Dominions II Bug Thread
 

You're sure it works for Pazuzu too? He killed about 200 Last turn and 1200 this turn and doesn't have a single experience star to show for it yet. Maybe it doesn't give experience 1 to 1 for pop killed or maybe it takes a turn to show up as a star. Or maybe you only get the stars once you qualify for the hall of fame. Anyone know about that?

Edit: I found one post saying that the bug only applies to sneaking units. That could make sense.

Re: Dominions II Bug Thread
 

The reason is unknown, but it has to do with those guys who sneak around and poison/disease people.

Sometimes when I try to script specific spells the program only allows me to script 4 in a row instead of 5 in a row. If I keep trying it over and over, I can eventually script 5 in a row (usually after 2 or 3 tries). I haven't noticed any pattern to the bug. It appears random.

bad battle results with current patches
 

description of the problem on the MP game thread

Should I re-install Dom2? How could that help?

c\'tis desert tombs
 

This is probably somewhere in the 63 pages, but I honestly didn't feel like reading all of that before I reported this one.

Apparently when playing against C'tis Desert Tombs and taking over their capital you are able to recruit their tomb priests with 2 holy 1 fire 1 death as well as their desert rangers and their tomb guardians or whatever else they are called. It's basically a situation in which you get a benefit you don't normally get...the use of national recruitment structures...when taking over the capital.

Re: Dominions II Bug Thread
 

Another bug which has certainly been reported, but the new search function is a nightmare :
An horror showed up attacking a mage of mine, when I want to see the battle I have a "bad vcr header" popup and game crashes/exits. The mage seems to have won, as he survives to be killed in the same turn Battle phase...
Is the problem identified ? I remind having read about this, but can't find it ...
