As Kristoffer is talking about renaming the .exe, I wonder if he means that we would be able to run 2 or more different .exes from the same directory?

Paralyze (the spell) is supposed to Last 30-40 turns (more or less the entire battle). MindbLast paralyze 2-8 turns or so.

New spell modding tools are available. There is an example mind duel mod available.

I havn't tested the fixed paralyze much, but if it still bothers you research level, path level and fatigue can be altered with the modding tools. Duration cannot be modded.

Yep.
You must copy and rename the exe.

{snip comment after KO's Last post}

So any other changes to files in the directory tree are backwards-compatible?

I have no problem with my two installs of dominions, although I admit I haven't tried to uninstall them. Amusingly enough I was somehow running one copy through a shortcut in the other copies directory, so my saved games went into program files but the exe I was actually running was in the games directory. And here I was thinking I was at least half computer-literate and I go and do something like that accidently.

This is definitely a problem... I've seen a unit paralyzed (2) remain frozen solid for 12 rounds of combat !! It would be great if this was fixed too.

I didn't see mention of fixing the (turn 2?) scales bug and the AI not building forts bug. Were these addressed?
