Suggestion - Black/Whitelist for Battlespells
 

Suggestion

You've another option in the 'Magic' menu: a battlespell list.

Here you can find every battlespell (maybe only the researched one).
Now you can make spells blacklisted which means none of your mages autocast it.
You also can whitelist spell which means mages autocast this one with a high priority.

Optional: You can set a spell as not boostable wich means none of your mages uses additional gems to cast it.

This list applies for all mages in a nation so the micromanagement is very limited.

I'm afraid it's not going to happen. I suggested this and other improvements in Dominions3 wishlist thread a couple of months ago. No result.

I have a feeling it may be (at least partially) intentional. Turns could last forever if we were, for example, allowed to set first 10 moves.

Probably wont happen, but there is a hardcoded blacklist in dom3 that wasn't in dom2. I *think* that vortex of returning and breath of winter are on it, and touch of madness should be, but I'm not sure.

If you turn on logging you can actually see it thinking its way thru the list. Its a long list.

I would be happy if the Developers just added touch of madness to the black list. That spell drives Me mad.

It's supposed to ... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

.. but I second the notion, and add "berserk" to the list

Isis bleeding! Let me point out that it's not "a couple of months ago" - this has been requested every since Dom2 came out. Probably before that. Historical evidence says - ain't gonna get fixed, thanks for your money though.

Well, this idea has popped up some 4 years ago IIRC, and was never considered for implementation (at least IW didn't communicate on it), but by repeatedly requesting we won't lose anything, so let's go ! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

I absolutely agree with you and Jack.

Ancient Runic stones dated atleast to the early 18th century indicate that Vikings in America actually came up with this idea first, but the authenticity of the stones remains in question.
