Funny, I think it was in Dominions

Moss Body probably makes units camouflaged in forest battles, and allows them to photosynthesize so spells like Solar Rays and Stellar Cascades will give them energy instead of hurting them.

There! I knew that it was an NWN spell also.

Anyways your idea about the spell sounds very valid.

My money is on "no".

Perhaps there'll be a 'vine creature' attribute with resistances to certain spells and vulnerabilities to others. Say, boosted hitpoints and resistance to most nature spells. The downside - no fire resistance EVER. Moss body simply confers this bonus onto the castee.

I tend to agree with Nerfix.

I dont know why. The changes seem to be mostly "good idea" changes and little thematic tweaking. Nothing that couldnt have been released in a game. It really only has to be crash-free in order to make the release date. As long as no large changes are made that add crash-bugs I think we are ok.

If you think Johan will hit a gap of no changes at all prior to the release then you havent been paying attention during the previous 2 versions.

It can't hit gold until 3.00, which will be a while at the current patch rate. Version 2.84 would still be Dominions II.

Yup.

Oh and as for the current delay I think it might have something to do with scandinavian midsummer traditions...midsummer is celebrated in Finland (ok we're not scandis) and I remember swedes had their own "midsommaren" funs.

I celebrate all day in the whole summer period on the beach.
