Modding tips and tricks

[Burnsaber]

Have done spell testing in the wake of the CPCS udpate. Just reporting my findings so that no one wastes time testing stuff that is already tested

First, the positive one:

*** effect 17 - song of bravery ***
Evidently is different from Sermon of Courage. Needs experimentation.

The following quote is from the "Spell effects and Damage Combos" file that comes with Dr.P's spellDB. I tested the effect and was suprised at the results. A spell with effect value 17 gives +5 morale to all affected units, but this buff is temporary. The units lose 2 points of the bonus every battlefield turn. Damage value seems to be irrelevant

Then some negative results:

*** effect 10068 - Summons animals. ***
No of effects = number.
Damage probably doesn't do anything.
We should check if effect 68 summons random animals in combat.

68 does nothing. Not even as a #nextspell

*** effect 54 - Polymorph ***

10054 (a'k'a ritual polymorph) does nothing. Not even as a #nextspell

*** effect 101 - Age ***

Does not work. Not even as a #nextspell (the ritual version 100101 works fine thought)
