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.

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.

Got another one:

For unit/commander/hero

#noresearch - No matter how much/many magicskills + number the unit will have zero in research.
