Tidal Wave - Bug
 

It seems the level_9 evocation spell called tidal wave has at least a typo bug, but probably a game bug as well.

The first typo bug: [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Bug.gif[/img]
Spell description reads that it will kill 40% of the population however the bad event reads that 30% has died.

The second bug... typo or game bug: [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Bug.gif[/img]
The bad event reads that all the population near the shore has died... however this spell can target even provinces without any water or fresh water.
The spell should only be harmful to coastal provinces yet any province can be targeted to suffer.

Hmm... I am almost sure you cannot target it on province not bordering water province.

Re: Tidal Wave - Bug
 

The computer AI has targeted 3 provinces not near the water all during the same turn on my current SP game.

I've been on the forums since DOM_2... I'm not going to make a rookie mistake.

Re: Tidal Wave - Bug
 

I just tested, trying to cast it on province not bordering water province gives you that:

"You must choose a coastal province"

So if there is a bug then it is that AI is allowed to cast it on non-coastal provinces.

In that case it's just like the AI is not affected by Sea of Ice bug.

This is true... I guess I'll either need to remove the spell via modding or not play maps with water provinces when computer opponents exist.
