Props to Stardock for not making AI so hardcoded.... I also found out making summons available early helps AIs so much. Suddenly AIs playing the game much better.

1 Summon per champion restriction needs to be gone. in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

I modded my game so I could summon some multiple weak elementals during the early game, and the whole game just got so much interesting for summoners. The reason we have completely lacking summoning system is that there is 1 summon per person restriction, it needs to be gone, and we need more early summon spells while also buffing late summons too.

Some report on those bosses and beastlord's taming. First of all, I could tame those supposedly untamable bosses... And then, obviously being boss with 0/0 movement, my army gets stuck after the battle if that boss monster joins my army (thus I had to disband that unit to move on.) But the real thing is, I just could keep taming those unmovable bosses in the wild, boosting my faction's combat rating while still relatively enjoying faster clearing

No luck. seems completely bursted. I guess since it was the one of the features Stardock struggled to get it at rather late, I assume it is full of bugs inside..

And that's weird. This modifier indeed works on bandits (who are 'Men') right? Just bugged on 'Beast'? I shall try on Elementals as soon as I finish reinstalling the game (downloading from Steam ATM)

[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="23" id="3274711"]For some stupid reason this line Beast is preventing the modifier from working. So yeah, you were right, it won't work.[/quote] Hehehehe, so I guess I am going to file another bug report, which probably be never fixed, right? [e digicons]:\[/e]

Well, I did everything I could so far. Just in case, I am reinstalling the game see if that changes anything.

I am on 1.01 as well. Here is the whole code. With this code, I should had gotten level*10 mana after the battle, and it is not happening at all. [quote] Tame Take control of the targeted Beast. S_Domination_Painting.png T_Tame_Icon.png</IconFG&g

Hmmm, I am not sure whether my game is bugged at this point. The original code (that gives you +1 metal) does not work. I tried different way: I removed the charm modifier and just only mana drain/gain modifier. And it does not work. I am very sorry Heavenfall, but can you check this code on your own game? Maybe my game is bugged.

[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="16" id="3274680"]Also try setting the modifier before the charmtarget modifier. Maybe there's a bug there where the unit is charmed, and thus "lost" to the game engine. If you have the modifier in front you may prevent that.[/quote] Very good call. No wonder you are amazing modder. I will try that now...

Tried positive value as well, still not working. I also increased mana lost to -10x. Not working at all. Now I am trying original code used on that hammer and see if I get +1 metal. To see if my game itself is bugged or not.

[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="14" id="3274675"]The modifier works, I think maybe it just doesn't work like you think it does. 1) The spell costs 40 mana to cast. You see 40 mana in-game. 2) You cast the spell, it uses up 40 mana. 3) In your example, if the spell is successful, it drains target's level * -1 mana from the caster's pool [/quote] Ok I will try again. But I think this is not wor

Reply to overpower spells in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

Even tier 1 spells like Wither will become very powerful strategic spell in later stage of the game. But then, magic in general is very underpowered anyway. :P Again, it's AI problem that AI does not use strategic spell well.

[/quote] Thanks for the input. To clear what you said.... so, I can't do dynamic cost before casting, but I can do it later? I want to make Tame spell costing additional mana based on the level of the monsters the champion tamed after he/she successfully did so.</

It would be amazing if this is possible. This is probably only way to balance beast lord, diplomat or bandit lord's ability. They are broken in both ways if static value is used.

Variable mana cost for a spell? Is this even possible? in FE Modding Elemental Forums

The closest related thing I can find is mana blast (which damage output being variable, not the amount needed.), which I found... non-related. I just can't find it. I was trying to make a mod for balanced *Lord professions (Beast, Bandit, and adding Elemental). What I was trying to do was that make tame/bribe spell costing mana/influence based on the target unit's level and/or HP. I guess this is yet another hard-coded one.

Sean, I just realized I have been playing your mod with duplicated file bug (everything appears in double. double heroes, double monsters, etc), and was using wrong map file (the research rate was really low, even for epic mod). I am playing again with all of the bugs and mistakes fixed, so please ignore my previous impression.

I don't think we need yet another nerfs on magic, since pretty much many of them are nearly useless at this point. What we need is better AI on dragons so they can use their breathe more often and more intelligent matter.

I see, probably I finish the game rather fast and clear dens before they grow enough. And just where is Sarog and its Temple of Dragons? I played so many game but I never encountered it once.
