Reply to [1.06.019][Bug] Traveling Boots, Journeman's Cloak, Traveler's Cloak in WOM Support Elemental Forums

There is one issue here: Models for Traveling and Longstrider Boots for 3 fallen races (exempt Wraiths) don't fit to their male unit models (they are too small and clip with legs). That's probably the reason why there was some kinda of limit to what races those boots where ment for. Although I agree it's too steep at the moment to have them for just a single race of humans.

Reply to [eMOD] Bugfix Mod 1.7 for Elemental 1.06 in WOM Mods Elemental Forums

Things to add: Some units in game don't start with default Combat Speed of 2 (introduced when patching to 1.05). This is because those units had no combat speed tags at all, so game defaulted them to 1. 3 fallen sovereigns are affected, Sentinels from Warlord trait, as well as those pre-made fallen peasants. And not to forget heroes from mini-campaign, they also get CS of 1. There may be more.

Reply to [BUG/FIX] Why Shards don't increase magic damage (as coded)... and how to fix it in War of Magic Elemental Forums

[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="23" id="2745489"]I noticed the same thing, however Bravery still didn't work (its attribute isn't accurate) If you want to look at a core spell that actually can change morale, look at Rallying Cry or Fear I fixed everything except Shield of Fire and Burning Blade (I just can't get them to work right without being able to overwrite core gamemodifiers) http://thedyinggrounds.com/Elemental/HF106_spell_Shardproof.xml [/quot

I was just messing around and did similar fix pack to shard scaling: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10706980/SpellDamageFix.xml It only includes damage spells. And yes, it's pretty much mirrors same thing as Heavenfall's work, but with no fixes to morale or drain spells. And no edit to heal spell either, since it appears to work without any modifications. But what the heck, if I already did it for personal use,

Reply to Attack vs Defence...how does it work?? and some other stuff. in War of Magic Elemental Forums

[quote who="Annatar11" reply="18" id="2731350"]Nowhere Seems that bit never made it into the UI. It might be worth checking the equipment XML to see. I don't have access to it at the moment.[/quote] Or maybe manual has obsolete info, and that thing with matching defense never made it into final build of the game.

Reply to [BUG/FIX] Why Shards don't increase magic damage (as coded)... and how to fix it in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Yes, I just looked into two Ruin school spells (Crush Spirit and Drain Life), and both are non-functonal. Crush Spirit uses AdjustUnitStat attribute to adjust morale (which doesn't work). It should use IncreaseMorale attribute like fear. And Drain Life doesn't do a thing. Plus, both visual spell effects (drain and heal) are applied to target. P.S. Isn't your version of Drain life a bit overpowered. Full Int damage over old 1/8 Int

Yes, I just realized that without UnitStat_Attack or similar defense tag, these spells don't do anything (by looking at Berserker spell, that has those tags set up properly). But when that is fixed, effect stays after battle, and stacks as you say. And it actually triples attack/defense not doubles (with no shards), at least for Str10 unit, since it actually adds current attack value to the base attack of the target (so strong units will get even bigger ef

Btw, I started experimenting with Flame Blade, and noticed that calculation doesn't match spell description. It says it increases attack by 2, but instead it multiplies unit attack rating by two, and then that results mutiplies result by number of fire shards. If shards worked correctly, spell would be broooken. Attack 10 units with no shards = 20, attack 10 unit with 3 shards = 80. On the other hand, in testing with sto

Reply to [BUG/FIX] Why Shards don't increase magic damage (as coded)... and how to fix it in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Just tested Mind Blast, with same modification ( ValueOwner="CastingUnit" for 3rd calculation). And it worked properly. So it seems that ValueOwner is only used to define owner for unit attributes inside calculation (is it caster stat, is it target stat, or similar), it doesn't define ownership of currently calculated value, or other values calculated elsewhere. So calculated value, regardless of owner used in one calculation, can be used in next calcu

Anyway, I found that much simpler edit is necessary to make spells work in combat. Just add [b]ValueOwner="CastingUnit"[/b] attribute to 3rd caluculation that includes [b][UnitStat_NumIceShards][/b], and all is fixed. No need to "reformat" everything (which just makes it easier to add some typo while doing edits). As for why calculation works without ValueOwner for spell info screen, I have no idea. P.S. Are Burning Blade and Shiel

Reply to Understanding City Improvements, Resource Nodes and the Usable Tile Limit; Also Influence and Town Halls! in War of Magic Elemental Forums

As suggestion to Stardock, to quick fix/remove worst instances of this "feature": Resources adjacency to city should not be absorbed/encased in walls, if they already violate "not up to 4 tiles from other city" rule . Look the save I posted. If location of lost library was empty, no building could be built there due to being too close to other city. But since resources get auto-encased in walls when near the city, building the library, on normally invalid slot

Reply to [Bug] City that can't build anything in WOM Support Elemental Forums

I think I realized what's the issue here. It's not a bug, but very bad gameplay mechanic. Explained in this thread. In short, you can't build anything in tiles that is 4 or less space away from other city, distance counting from city walls borders, not city center. When I built lost library in northern city, enveloping it in its city walls, it invalidated all tiles that Raaminobl could build on, including th

I have a city, Raaminobl, that can't build any structure. All are greyed out. All resources needed are present, there are open tiles. Only icon for demolishing isn't greyed out. And destroying existing buildings doesn't allow rebuilding them either. What gives? save (v1.06)

4X games had horrible AI by default at those times. And in MOM, it was worse since it has two layers, strategic and tactical to be bad at. In fact, first time I've seen challenging AI in these types of games was with Civ3.

Leveling up cities in War of Magic Elemental Forums

What's the benefit of leveling cities, exempt getting bigger people pool for army, and unlocking new buildings. Currently, in my game, I have several cities that don't produce anything that would benefit them elevating to 2nd level. No gold, no iron, no higher level buildings worth building. Isn't it just better leaving them at 1st level, to not eat extra food they don't need. Exempt if there is some hidden benefit of having them at higher level.
