Adding a percentage magic path
 

I have been trying to do some moding.
<?xml:nam
I wanted to add a 33% chance of getting blood magic. So I used this command:
<O:p
#custommagic 16384 33
<O:p
This seemed to work as some of the units did indeed get 1 blood magic. But it seemed to be far less than 33%. Granted I only built a few (40 or so over two test games) but I probably only got half a dozen blood mages. I notice that most of the game ones are 10% or 50% chances. Are these the only percentage chances that work well?
<O:p
I am also interested in giving a percentage chance for Holy magic, or rather a boost to Holy magic. I assume this would work in the same way as any other kind of magic path?

IIRC you can't add randomized Holy.

The random number generator isn't necessarily going to produce them at a rate of 1 in 3, sometimes it will get more, sometimes it will get less. The more you make the closer you're likely going to get to 1/3 of them having blood. If it says they have a 33% chance for blood magic, they have it.

I have no experience trying to mod percentages of holy, the manual would make it seem like it would work but I could see it not working. My suggestion would be to make a unit with an 80%+ chance for extra holy magic and try making a few in a game.

it doesn't work. I didn't see it and Sombre says so too

Re: Adding a percentage magic path
 

Randomized holy magic does not work, this is a known issue. Unfortunately I forgot to include it in the current version of the modding manual.

Thanks to all of you.

I am not really worried about the holy magic although I did want to give Priests a chance to have Holy 2. Although hopefully they will fix this at some point.

Cheers & Happy Christmas :)
