[Num]

Sorry for have been a so weak ally

@Cicero : Having received no answer here or to my PMs, I assume the war with Arco is starting/continuing after all?

If you would like to "postpone" the end of our NAP or something like that, please post here or send me a PM, I won't do my turn until a few hours from now...

Hello,

I have two problems I cannot get and it strucks me a little :

Some of my mages have a script with a battlefield enchantment (Cast specific spell, Darkness or Foul Vapor for exemple and that is all, enough magic path and personal gems) and they do not launch it damn it (Well sometimes they launch it....) !! Is there something I miss ? Though they do launch simple spells like terror or raise skeletons, but that is not fully fulfilled (some use other spells... for fun ?).

The second problem is about movement : Armies can cross each other without battle ?!? Is it because first, all movement are completely done and second, if there are different armies in the same zone, there is a battle ?

Thanks for answering, I would like to ask a lot more questions, but those ones are more urgent

spells like Darkness and Foul Vapors have a gem cost. this cost is to be payed inside the battle itself, with gems on the pretender(not your laboratory), so the most likely cause for your mages to not cast them is that you didn't give your mages the required gems.

movement is pretty complicated. if 2 opposing armies are moving towards each other than 1 of these will happen:
1. first army will move, second army will stay and become the defender.
2. second army will move, first army will stay and become the defender.
3. both armies move and avoid battle altogether.

If the enemy is too weak, the AI won't cast gem-cost spells. That's to stop your 100-gem Darkness+Foul Vapors+Flaming Arrows+Howl+Gaia's Blessing+Fire Storm scripted barrage from going off when your enemy sends in 1 scout set to retreat. It also means that sometimes your scripting screws up against slightly more threatening foes.

Alright Everyone, I have to say this was a good game. To Num, I congratulate you on your victory.
