Tinker - suggestions and bugs

from Elemental Forums

I have played the Tinker a few times now. 

I have noticed that Drogons experiences a drop in attack after he has chosen the Beast-skill. The beast substracts 50% from his attack. If he normally would have 10 attack, the Beast-skill substracts 5 from the attack - with a final attack value of 5. I do not hope this is working as intended.

Further the Tinker's skill tree is very nice. However the skills that provide extra spells to be cast on items do not work. I started with 8 spells (+2 attack, +2 lighting attack, +2 defense etc.)  and I still only had 8 spells after choosing the skill providing extra spells (one the upper skills toward the right). I do not know if must research them first, if yes - it should be more clearly stated. 

Another thing I would like to see changed. The amulet giving extra spell casting in combat, could this be changed to be a consumable item, giving a permanent increase. This could be balanced by requiring very rare (legendary) ingredients even though Radiant Diamonds seems to be pretty rare in itself.

Thanks for making these threads, thimon2k.  It will keep our thoughts organized.

I noticed that the extra resources from mines and such ability didn't seem to do anything, unless they were giving me extra resources without telling me.

I also seemed to be able to use crystal without it ever getting depleted in crafting recipes. It would stay at 6/4 forever.  Other resources in the recipes would subtract appropriately.

And I mentioned it in my other thread ( http://forums.sorcererking.com/461350 ) but the frost dragon summoning ability needs improvement.

I think recipes that require horses, crystal or iron can be used unlimited while you have enough (in other words, intended).  But once you drop below the minimum amount, you need to find another source of that resource before you can make that recipe again.

I am playing Tinkerer for the 1st time & noticed that the spell of "Transmutation" has no picture in the Book of Spells.

Don't know if this is a problem with Tinkerer but it's never happened to me in a game before.

I had my city attacked on twice on the same turn.  My city defenders (Archers) did not appear for the 2nd battle and caused me to lose the City & the game.

Looks like a bug carried over from LH.  It "might" be tolerable in LH - it isn't in SK because when you lose a city it is wiped out, not just captured, losing all that city's progress and possibly the game as in scifi1950's example.  This is a game critical bug.

Tinkerer bug:

When you get the ability that gives you a 4th enchantment slot, the slot does not appear when you are enchanting. You can add 4 enchantments, but only 3 of them have a visible icon.

Also, any items that was previously fully enchanted with 3 enchantments cannot get a 4th enchantment after getting the skill.
