Ooh! Another one!

This is pretty basic, but it would be nice to have a preset 'entire battlefield' number for AoE commands, (Most notably spell modding) like how Morale 50 equals mindless.

We could also really use the ability to un-restrict spells.

DrPraetorious · #3 December 19th, 2006, 08:52 PM

Don't the restrictions disappear if you copy the spell?

Anyway, I'd like the ability to unrestrict pretenders, but that's just a book-keeping headache it isn't something you can't do already.

I'm thinking it would be really nice if we could assign sizes to weapons-for instance a Jotun axe being a certain size. The reason for this is that you could make certain weapons two-handed for certain sized units, while for other units they'd be one-handed. I wouldn't want to do this for every weapon out there, but it might be nice for some magical weapons requiring a certain minimum or maximum size of wielder-hammer of the mountains or gate cleaver needing atleast size 2 or even 3 for instance.

Use the magic numbers 666 to affect the entire battlefield or 665 to affect 25% of the battlefield squares.

Oh, that is neat, thanks Johan.

Two things - when you give linked randoms using the old syntax (i.e.: magicskill 52 2) they show up as 1 ? on the unit profile sumarry, and I don't think the age calculates correctly. I'm not certain of this since I'm not sure how the age calculation is supposed to work.

Could we have linked custom randoms? I know you don't want to give more than 2 arguments to a command, it could be:
#doublecustommagic <bitmask> <chance>
#triplecustommagic <bitmask> <chance>

Or, you could use the first 7 bits in the custom magic bitmask? They don't seem to do anything, but I might be missing something. I assume that's where the actual internal code stores the % chance, but that's just a guess, as values placed in those bits don't seem to affect it.

Also, random magic with "holy" doesn't seem to work. I know I'm probably the only one who'd use it, but I'd like some units that have a % chance to be priests.

Keep on keepin' it real,

Actually I've just run head into this bug and it's stymied somewhat my work on the Chaos Undivided race mod.

I'd like firepower. Might as well have stormpower, darkpower and coldpower as well.

The underwater leadership power would also be nice, if it has a variable value - I can copystats off of the azure dudes but it's the wrong amount (this is for Haida Gwaii).

And actually, underwater recruitment modding would be nice.

Protection from Evil (unit ability).

Works like awe, but against the MR of demons and/or undead (could be distinct Prot from Undead and Prot from Demons powers.)

If it also provided an MR bonus against death and/or blood spells, that would be nice.
