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

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?

It isn't listed among the changes but there is also a new lvl 3 priests spell: smite demon.

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.

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

Kristoffer,

Thanks for the prompt response.

If I patch, will a game begun in 2.02 keep the scales of 2.02, which is what I think most folks would like, or will it "update" the scales automatically with no way to reverse the update, which is what I understand your comments to indicate is what will happen?

Thanks.

Concerning Smite Demon,

It says "Magic Resistance Negates". Is there any penetration bonus? With the normal penetration of 11, smiting a mere imp (MR=13) would only work 37% of the time, and a devil (MR=17) would be 14%... and this from expensive level 3 priests! I would think a penetration of 15 would be minimal, and 16 or 17 about right, considering that demons tend to have very high magic resistance...

Turning Ulm into a stealthy, undead nations...

Somebody must have a sick sense of humour ...

>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.


C'mon, when Illwinter makes a new theme it does not replace the main theme, it's simply an option that's selectable. Why make mods ridiculously clunky when you already have a method of adding in content?

Until we have the ability to add/edit/remove any theme, the mod tools are nothing more than a kludge (IMHO).
