Default Re: Is it a bug? Communion slave lost action if their unit id is higher than the mast

I'd love it 'fixed' personally. Slaves not being able to cast at all regardless of order.

To simulate the other effect, you could let masters commune with each other without having any slaves there, or have another spell like "communion/sabbath member/caster" which allows them to share in the communion and cast.

I love the way it operates now.

However, if you wanted to change it so the slaves can cast even if they are after the master, that would be good.

Its not overpowered in any way and has the BIG drawback that if you get it wrong, you end up losing all the mages. I have seen 30+ mages die loads of times.

There are loads of counters to communions like earthquake, rain of stones and any other entire battlefield damaging spells. Also, assasination, disease demons, seeking arrows etc... also upset communions. So communions are not really that powerful.

+1, even if I understand perfectly why it isn't a "feature" so much in need of a priority fixing. ^_^
