Global enchantments

I have a feeling something is wrong in what global gets knocked out when you overpower one.

When you cast a global that isn't already up, and all five slots are filled, it picks a random slot to try to overpower. By design. If not all slots are filled it should always get a free slot.

Next time I dispel one of the AI's. No problem.

I try to recast Gift of Nature's Bounty, failed. I put a lot of gems into it, also.

He gets off Fata Morgana, though.

Was the dispell and Gift of natures bounty on separate turns, with one global slot free in between, and your failed Gift was cast before his Fata Morgana? That'd be a bug.

I didn't get most of that paragraph. What about a .h file?

The question was whether the gems would still be expended if somebody else brought down the spell before Dispel was cast. We seem to be pretty reluctant to talk about file formats here, but it seems likely that the .h file encodes the number of gems you'll have on the next turn, as opposed to simply encoding how many you plan to use for Dispel. Therefore by the time you hit "End of Turn" the gems have already been spent and you won't get them back even if someone else dispels the enchantment first.

I cast the dispel.

Next turn there were my 4 up and one empty slot.

He of course got off Fata Morgana before I got off Gift of Health. (I have *never* seen mine go first.) His went up, mine failed.
