Commander won't bless himself

BigDisAwesome · #1 February 18th, 2007, 01:03 PM

I'm playing EA C'tis in a SP game to test a couple things out, and I've run into a problem. I got one of the commanders that "appears at your gates" named Udum'ukinna. He's a pretty capable early game sc against indies, but he won't follow his script. He's a sacred troop, and a lvl 2 priest. I have him set to cast blessing, then holy avenger, then attack closest. However all he'll ever do is cast Holy Avenger, then attack closest. Why won't he bless himself!?

Here's a screenshot of his info screen if that helps any.

and I just noticed he doesn't have the option to Preach the Teachings of God, but he does have the option to Reanimate. This doesn't have to due with him being undead I hope, which probably makes it impossible to get him blessed.

He is undead, therefore can only be unholy blessed not divine blessed.

There are now 2 different blessings, which means some units cannot bless certain sacreds under there command or indeed themselves for that matter.

Its probably a bug or oversight by the designers/programmers.

Yeah I had read through the how to bless Ghoul Guardians thread, but hadn't noticed he was undead until after I posted.

Curses foiled again!

Yes, I created a thread awhile ago which specificallay identified undead sacred units cannot be blessed which I'm sure the developers have seen. On the dom3progress page this major bug is incorrectly listed as fixed.

I guess the developers are on vacation again since the only progress over a month has been one typo fix and one defence bug fix.
Since the developers previously stated they didn't know what to do with their money perhaps they should temporarily hire someone to fix the stuff in Dominions_3 they don't enjoy fixing.... even if they hire someone for just a week at least it would be something.

They're on vacation and will be back in another week. It's the winter holidays here and they are well entitled to that. I expect they will address some of the issues raised here.
