Default Re: Bragging & Bugs: Battle Recording anyone?

icons
Quite a lot of spells do have a visible effect (various shields, e.g.) or an icon ..

battle recorder
There's no need for a battle recorder: Battles are re-calculated from saved random seed each time they're watched. Therefore, simply save your .trn and .fthld files and you will be able to go back to any battle you want. Use the -DDDDD command line switch to watch the AI think (log file, can get quite big).
