Wow! I have wanted this capability for the longest time. Thanks!

It's very useful, thanks.

Anyone knows how to see the sommoned creatures and heroes' gold/resource cost and random path in the game?
I fould this picture in a wiki page. But when I right click the hero in the game, I can't see the gold and resource line. Is there an undocumented shortkey?

You can mod in a new nation, put the summon creatures as recruitables in the new nation. Viewing the units from "Recruit Units" will show the Gold/Resource cost and random paths.

Very cool. Nice for storming forts, where you can never see what's going on in the gate.

It does seem to cause a seg fault if you rotate too far, though.

If you wield all three of the following items, you get Awe+0:

Whip of Command
Sceptre of Authority
Crown of Command

I needed to gate some units and wanted to increase my leadership, so I made all three, and ... ooh! Surprise, the Awe icon popped on.

All those items increase leadership, and very high leadership value gives you awe.

Are you sure? I've got a prophet running around in a different game with 320 leadership, and he doesn't have awe.

And I've got Aboleths in a different game with higher magic leadership, and they don't have Awe either.

The unit I equipped has this leadership now:
Normal: 115 (15+100)
Magic: 55 (55+25)

Maybe a high leadership bonus, from items or the heroic ability, gives Awe?

Leadership bonus from magic items gives awe after +100 ldr or so. This is why that artifact helm (Crown of Overmight?) gives Awe without it being listed in the manual, or why those twin artifacts (Picus/Procus axes of leadership) give Awe when wielded together.

Interesting. So a unit that already has high leadership, of like 120, might get awe with only a couple of those. Or maybe an awe over +0.

No. Leadership bonus from magic items gives Awe, after a total of about +100 extra leadership. From magic items.

Innate leadership has no effect on what items are needed for Awe.
