I haven't seen this mentioned yet, but on the top right of the screen a small icon for the time of year is displayed. The bug is when you highlight the icon it tells you the time of year yet says "of the ascension wars".

Yes, because that is (for example) Summer in the third year of the Ascension Wars. The Ascension Wars being the wars between all pretender to ascension, that started right about when you started the game.
Just because the game has a different name doesn't mean the wars in it should have a different name

EDIT: Unless you meant that the bug is that the number of the year or season are not properly displayed (in which case, I don't suffer from that bug)

[img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Bug.gif[/img] Demonbreds can reanimate the dead now.
I assume that's a bug and not some new feature.

An unforseen effect. Will need some kind of fix I suppose

I'm quite certain "the Ascension Wars" is specific for Dominions_2 consider the title of Dominions_2.

I would instead consider the meaning of The Ascension Wars, ie The Wars fought in order to obtain Ascension (or to Ascend(!)).
Besides, what would you expect these times to be called?
Late summer in year 4 of The Awakening O_o

The ghost mages created by the soultrap artifact don't have magical powers. Also item doesn't give undead leadership

Artifact woundflame does not have disease aura anymore It only diseses the wearer. Anyone (not undead) struck is affected by plague (as per the plague spell)

Levithan can be created on land, in contradiction with its description.

I doubt Illwinter would have all wars for godhood called "Ascension Wars" considering the title of Dominions_2 was "The Ascension Wars". If what you say is true then why use this for only one title??

In any case Illwinter will examine the icon on the top right which displays the time and stating "Ascension Wars" and decide whether or not it should be changed. Only they truly know if this is a bug or not, perhaps they will make a quick post or send us a PM and let us know the official opinion.

[img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Bug.gif[/img] In trying to play a game with a mod loaded, I get a crash to desktop whenever I try to proceed past the first turn, along with the message, 'No Holiness'

Your unit is probably not made holy. Only sacred beings can be priests. Priests must have a holy tag on them IIRC.

Hey guys, I noticed while I was playing the demo that when I sieged the pale one guys fort, I could use their Orical site and scry on provinces while they were still alive and in it.

Seems like my friend found a truly ugly bug.
Note research values on these guys. This is from windows version, of course. I can ask my friend for savegames, if necessary.

Philosophers have research value dependent on sloth in the province. Not magic. If you have a high productivity they philosophize less and make useful stuff such as work with their hands and organize society. If they are in a lazy land they just sit and think up magic systems.

Hmm, I suppose the wars are still ascension wars. The awakening gods still want to ascend. Switching to summer first year of the awakening would be a bit strange since the dormant gods haven't started to awake yet. Only the weak and cowardly ones that hid have emerged to wage war when the game begins.
