Wishlist: Modding shortlist

[Sombre]

There are already underwater stealth units. A Bogarus summon for instance.

I have no idea if it works though.

I used a gor ghost as a stealth unit in a prior mp game. The joke was on me if he showed as stealth but really was not(: He did show as stealth though.

Added #landlubber to monster modding wishlist so I won't forget it (found a thread where it was requested while browsing through the forums).

Please keep all modding wishlist related discussion to this thread or the other threads linked from the shortlist thread.

[Edi]

A list of possible stuff for event modding added to list as per request from KO.

I saw this in a thread about caves.

Making a province neighbor connection hidden until discoved by a search. Could be used to find hidden paths through mountain ranges and/or into a second layer on the map.

HoneyBadger has created a thread in the main dominions forum containing his wishlist/modding suggestion:

Wishlist: Multi-Tier PD

The original content of this post can be found at the above link. HoneyBadger felt that the content was relevant to this thread and the Mod forum, but to allow extensive discussion of the suggestion, he requested that I edit this post.

Have a nice day.

I've searched the short list and this thread and haven't seen this suggestion. (No guarantee there, one would have to have much more patience than I possess to claim 100% accuracy.)

How about a spell that is the reverse of banishment or smite demons that demons and undead could use on sacred/holy non-demons?

Also, while going though the short list I saw the magic item section the following:

"#prec [bonus] Item grants commander specified bonus to precision"

I make weapons with enhanced precision using the "#precision <>" command. Won't this work on items also?

Longbow of Accuracy item doesn't affect precision, but the weapon it gives to the unit (also named Longbow of Accuracy) has very high precision stat. When the commander uses the bow, he's very accurate. If the commander casts a spell, he uses his normal accuracy.

Eye of Aiming affects the unit's precision directly, and affects spells as well as fired missiles.

Spell modding is rather complicated. Unit abilities are all given as independent command tags, but spell effects and specialities are given as bitmask values that can be used to enable a number of options from a greater pool. It might be possible to mod a spell that only affects sacreds; if it isn't, it's unlikely it will become available.

I understand the difference. I thought about that difference on my drive home last night and surmised that might be the case.

What like Bless? I presume you can just take the 'friendly targets only' bit off bless and add 'enemy targets only' and you'd have your spell.
