I can't find the CB changes for version 1.0, just the changelogs for 1.1 and 1.3. I'll PM quantum_mechani to see if he altered Blood or LfaL.

This problem could easily be explained by a range change.

QM says there was no change.

*Bump*

[RantingMode]

Exactly my problem in ComfortZone.

There are those kitted Vanjarl raiders (15HP). Absolutely perfect targets for my 'Life for a Life' Skrattis in one on one battles, wouldn't there be something named 'AI'. Makes me pulling my last hairs out.

To state it clearly: I abhor AIs overriding any decision in which I had invested some precious time of my life, even if that decision would have been the worst ever. Much more so if AI makes an error instead of just doing what it has been ordered.

The problem with different tactics needed to be scripted for different situations can and should only be addressed through more flexibility in the scripting interface. Something that will unfortunately never happen in future versions.

[/RantingMode]

That means onward to new X4 shores for me after that game.

This problem also happens to me a lot with bloodletting, also with skratti.

There's also this bug:

Just saw the first scripted Life for a Life actually firing, as very first spell in a battle with just one of those Jarls on the opposite side: _No_ damage!
