Bug: Bug Thread: Discussion

Using a Crystal Matrix on a priest with only H path, with at least two communicants, lets him cast four spells per turn. If the priest has other paths, like an H1N1 mage, the priest can cast only one H spell per turn, until one of his communicants is killed, at which point he casts two per turn.

Thank you kindly for formulating the shortlist entry for me!

Shortlist roundup:

• SPELL Communion 2 Using a Crystal Matrix on a priest with only H path, with at least two communicants, lets him cast four spells per turn. If the priest has other paths, like an H1N1 mage, the priest can cast only one H spell per turn, until one of his communicants is killed, at which point he casts two per turn. Discussion thread
• W 336 The Deadliest Poison does not affect undead or poison immune creatures as it should. Detailed post
• U 1389 Blood Lord armor should be 18 Full Chain Mail and 20 Iron Cap, not 18 Full Chain Mail and 10 Leather Hauberk

That is the way it has always worked. You charmed/enslaved more creatures than you lost.

Yeah, but the report seems very strange. How do you have negative deaths?

It seems to me that captured creatures should be reported separately.

[RonD]

Maybe this isn't the right place, but it seems appropriate to me...

There a couple of really interesting notes in the latest update:

Dominion sometimes spread in incorrect ways, fixed.
Does this include fixing the disappearing scales bug? If so, thanks, presumably, to the recent work by several forum folks.

And:

* Caster of Stygian Paths took 1 an dmg for each unit under his command instead of units taking 1 an dmg each
* Stygian Paths reported random number of lost on the way


Does this mean that Stygian Paths will finally be useable???? Wow.

Yeah, looks like it. Looks like some nice bug fixes in the next patch.

Touch of Madness and Legion of Steel fixes

Also it's been versioned: V3.12. So it might be soon?

[Edi]

Yes, RonD, this is the right place. It isn't named the Bug Discussion Thread for nothing.

The dominion spread entry looks very much like a fix for both Vanishing Scales and the erratically spreading dominion that sometimes appeared all the way across the map because they were essentially caused by the same thing, a corrupt geotable. It is unknown whether it affects some of the other issues related to Dominion spread. Both Johan and Kristoffer have made comments to the effect that the scale bug has been crushed underfoot and it was indeed thanks to the contributions of the people on the forum, notably vfb and calmon.

Stygian Paths, looks like it could get a long awaited fix, but to be honest, I don't know the specifics.

[Loren]

Version 3.10. It doesn't matter what orders I give, I get the blowup. The old cause at least was too many troops in a storm castle operation, if that's the cause this time it involves the AI fighting the AI.

[Edi]

Uhh, Loren, what blowup? Crash to desktop? I'm unable to keep 100% track of old issues that have been fixed without specifics, especially since IIRC that bug was not even reported in the shortlist, IW caught it from the forum discussions and fixed it before it even got listed.

It's probably too late for me to bring this up, but when starting a new game from the command line for a dedicated server there always end up victory points in the map, even if you didn't touch those settings and even if there is no VP victory in the game. Is this supposed to be WAD? Is it possible to turn this off? I'm not that sure if I managed to.

From the patch excitement thread in map/mod forum. Bloody red flags...
