Incorrect research for Sage?

Tough Guy · #1 March 1st, 2006, 09:48 PM

When you go to the recruiting window a sage appears as a 1 random magic and 8 research for 80 gold.

When you buy them though they have only 5 research.

Drain-3 anyone ?

Do you really think we wouldn't have spotted an error like this in the last 2 years?

In the recruiting window they have 1 random and, because of their +4 bonus, 7 research. When they have research 5 it's because the province they're in has drain 2. Anything else would qualify as a bug.

It would be nice if research value listed the bonuses, and the sources of the change, as e.g. defence does.

Cmon, Arralen - he's just a new player is all. You know how mysterious dom2 is sometimes. Give a little slack.

It would also be nice if random paths were detailed in the unit desctiption. (IE Full Random, Sorcery or Elemental)

I second that emotion. Even a color coded question mark would work.

I agree with the color coded question mark for identifying the types of random paths.

Also - it'd be kinda neat if there were actually more complexity in the random paths in Dom3 - Abysia's native mages being less likely to get Water, Ermor's being less likely to get Nature, Jotun's not getting fire, and R'lyeh not getting any non-astral at all.

A nice and thematic idea (mostly

)! However the problem with this is that Forum-aware long-term players immediately may gain an advantage from this knowledge (like the sorcery-only/elemtal-only) picks if it is not displayed somewhere within the game.

I think things a these confuse newbie as well. All easy information should be easily accessible! Color-coded question marks for everyone! Huzzah!
