Using Independent Farsummon for modding (question)

[Saulot]

Er, yes, I meant indep. farsummons.

In any case, my hypothesis is incorrect. Indep farsummoning wolves brings no werewolf or leader of any kind either. *shrugs*

I'm going to have to agree with you about it being a bug, so by all means feel free to submit it.

Try setting the #nreff to 1 - do you get a leader?

If so, you should be able to work around this in 8.1X using #nextspell.

A kludge would be to use #nextspell to summon a single longdead horseman, who would, I believe, come with a wraithlord to lead the shadows.

[Saulot]

Tried it. For a wolf, and a neifel giant... and nope. Just one lone unit.

Hmm.... Perhaps combining a indep. farsummon + #nextspell regular farsummon (for the leader)? The question is, would those be under your control or not?

[DrPraetorious]

The regular farsummon leader would be under your control, and would fight against the indies (except that the indies would flee.)

Are you sure it was a unit and not a leader? Did it rout immediately? I don't really have time to mess with this right now, but if there's no workaround, I'd say it counts as a bug.

No leader spawns in the indy farsummon, which causes the route.

[Saulot]

Actually, for me, they didn't route, even without a leader. Whether it was a group of pirates, a group of wolves, one wolf, or one Neifel giant. And Yes, I can differentiate between a leader and a regular unit.

[Foodstamp]

Ah, I bet I know why. My undead pirates route due to lack of undead leadership.

Your guys don't route because they are not special units.

This gives me some options to use the indy farsummon atleast
