Default Re: Dominions II Bug Thread

There seems to be a problem with monthly rituals being "forgotten". Playing SG Ermor, I'm trying to set one or more Spectators (2D) to monthly cast Revive Wight (5D gems).

I hit 'M' to get the list of spells to cast, select "Revive Wight", and the unit then shows "Cast Revive Wight (monthly)" as its task.

The next month, though, the Spectators set for monthly castings are all on Defend, the monthly ritual now forgotten. (My death-gem income is 40+, so there is far more than enough income to cover the cost of the wights).

I did see it work correctly one time, which I belive was the one time I had a bunch of leftover death gems that I hadn't spent. (I usually spend nearly all of them every turn). So my suspicion is that the game is checking the cost of the spell vs my current gem total, prior to adding in the new gem income. So maybe it sees I have 0 death gems, and cancels the monthly ritual without factoring in that I actually have 40 gems for that month. Just a theory.

I suspect this is a bug rather than a feature, since I can immediate re-set the same mage to cast the same spell (monthly or not) for that turn, and there's really no reason for it not to be allowed.
