I dont't see it in the priest spell list.
I saw it there just an hour ago, if by priest spell list you mean the spells selectable as a battle spell order. It is after the others in the list.

Are the scale effects now modable? Because I am in a long hard solo game with order 3 misfortune 3 and I will probably get slammed to heck if I use the patch in that game.

On the other hand I'm also in a MP game that will probably require me to patch.

Rrright you are!

My intention was not to give them abilities but to give them death gems.

>>Otherwise use the blood mages, you can go quite far with 5 ghoul guardians.

>Not if I have to hire a mage to lead every 5 of them.

Vs independents they are awesome even if led by a powerful mage

A bunch of players get together and want to play. They decide to use the "apoger" mod.
This mod offers an alternate theme for every nation.
No player will then have access to ANY standard nation since they have all be replaced by my mod.


What I want, and I don't think this is out of line is;


A bunch of players get together and want to play.
They decide to use the "apoger" mod.
This mod offers an alternate theme for every nation.
The players that choose to utilize one of my new themes simply takes it from the theme menu when making their nation.
Players that don't want to use one of the extra themes just ignore it and play what they want.


This is a HUGE difference.
Just make several APOGER MODs. A general one for scales and one for each nation to mod. The secrecy is lost, but you can at least choose which nations to mod.

Scales are moddable so if you want to keep the scale effects of 2.02 in MP games you must make a '2.02-scale-mod'. Not sure if mods can be activated in games that have already begun though.

Is there a way to enforce scales in a mod similar to a theme? Like make it mandatory to have +3 scale magic to with the modded nation?

Is the ability to edit or create new magic sites planned to be included?

Apparently it's only available in games created with 2.06.
