I tried to reproduce the battle in the same way, with old save, but this time nothing happened. Positive mana. The problem in my vision was magic not done by me being dispensed with.

Quote:I still don't understand why would anyone want to know where the circle was previously, if they can move it for free to anywhere, including the place it was already at. Searching for the location then not casting Summoning Circle takes longer than casting it and targeting the same place again.
...I guess it might be useful when Fairy Ring is in effect but that's the only case I can think of when the circle does something and you aren't actually able to move it prior to casting your summoning spell. Outposts are not really a thing that late in the game though and the new creatures popping out every turn would make it obvious where the circle is either way.
Changes are not really necessary! It was a possible situation in Vanilla MOM not to find the Summoning Circle in an Outpost, when a big summon is done in X turns and attackers arrive in X+1 turns. In COMAlpha, it´s easy enough to open a City screen for an Outpost (with the Summoning Circle and Town enchantments) by left-clicking on it in the Governor list. It says Hamlet of >name< instead of Outpost of >name< and it´s already possible to create a building queue. The City screen of an Outpost is not displayed when you scroll through the Cities with the >arrows< or >x-key< or when you right-click on the Outpost on the overland map. Hm ... Summoning Circle is listed as a City spell in Vanilla MOM. In COMAlpha it is sorted as a Special spell. If desired, the Summoning Circle spell could be sorted again as a City spell and the Governor could display it with the other Town enchantments in the small window, but it doesn´t really matter.
Bugs and notes from the latest Alpha:
- Map generation hangs with these Game Options: Phantasm, 1 opponent, Minimal, Small, Frozen, Myrran
- The >Flee< button significantly improves gameplay!
- A Sprites unit in the Capital seems not to like the order to move. Right-clicking the units in the Capital shows, that the Sprites rather would like to fly to the north pole … but next turn they move as intended or wait for new instructions.
- Moving a Sprite (flying, not previously webbed) along a River tile on the Combat screen costs all of its moves.
- Save file: Next turn “Range check error” after researching “Earth Lore”. The map was revealed with >Shift-O<.
- Attempting to turn the pages in Freyas or Taurons F3 Spellbook leads to a “Range check error”. The same happens to a Custom Wizard with at least 7 books in Nature or Chaos.
