Ritual bonus from magic sites
Does anyone know if the ritual bonus given from some magic sites effects the extra gems put into global enchantments to increase their durability? Or Dispell/Fate of Oedipus for that matter? I guess anything you can pump more than the minimum number of gems into (domes, etc)....

Re: Ritual bonus from magic sites
In dom2 there I had read about a bug (I think) that made only gems over the *base* cost used to augment the effective level.
So it means that you couldn't benefit from the reduced cost of the site if you wanted to add more gems (as gems used between te reduced cost and the original one were then wasted).
Don't know how it works with the current version

Re: Ritual bonus from magic sites
I think Jack Trowell is spot on here. However remember you cast it at the exact reduced cost but use a very powerful mage, like your pretender for example. This will make the global harder to dispell/replace.

Re: Ritual bonus from magic sites
I had understood that more expensive globals - as in, with a higher base cost - were harder to dispel.
This is not the case? What is the exact mechanic, does anyone know?

Re: Ritual bonus from magic sites
I didn't check the manual (I would if I had it as a searchable PDF file), but I seem to remember that difficulty depends on the dispeller's penetration, and a comparison of how many extra gems are used by both the dispeller and the original ritual. If this is correct, then using a site with a ritual bonus is effectively useless when using extra gems, because you need extra gems over the "normal" cost of the spell to get the benefit.

Re: Ritual bonus from magic sites
page 88 in the manual...
and for all you who have mysteriously misplaced your manual I can atleast give a hint that base cost of the global does not factor in....

Re: Ritual bonus from magic sites
So this kind of sucks. Is it a true bug or a deliberate move by the developers to limit the impact of bonus sites?
