haha!
I'll double check the FA's magic.
The "fist" weapon is a holdover from the #copystats, which acts a little funny about giving weapons to the new unit. I think I had figured a workaround, however, for getting rid of that "fist" problem.

I don't really object to the FA having fist as a weapon, its good enough as it is, but the sprite just doesn't go with fist as a weapon -- it looks like its wielding a wraithsword or a baneblade or something... Further FA problem: it's size two. I don't think its supposed to get trampled to death by minotaurs...

Dark Fire Sword of the Fallen Angel of the Reascendance, most probably.

The one workaround is to copystats unit, give it #weapon "nothing", then copystats the once copystatted unit.

Black Dragon in v2.03 appears to keep all standard-humanoid slots in dragon form. That's a good bargain for 20 design points.

Endo, I've found that when you #copystats a custom modded unit, sprites problems sometimes arise. I've had to go back and redo all my custom units since the last patch because of that.

keep those bug reports coming!

I've refrained from commenting earlier, even though I've followed this mod through it's every draft, because I'm generally opposed to strongly shifting the game balance of the whole game in subtle ways that I don't fully understand all the consequences of, when I haven't yet mastered the vanilla game and all it's secrets. (I don't use CB for the same reason.)

Nonetheless, I think you deserve to hear that I think it's a very good mod, the graphics are quite nice and vivid, and some of the units are rather creative. The spells are interesting as well. (While I haven't actually played with it, I've looked at every sprite and read pretty much every line in the modfile.)

Well; here's a little info on making pretenders out of unique summons. When nobody takes them as pretenders they seem to work fine, not sure what happens if someone does. They also don't get the pretender ability, which is good. However, they can no longer gain heroics, which isn't so nice.

, unless of course that is a DOm3 change (I can't recall reading about it anywhere, but it seems possible)
