Caster of Magic Release thread : latest version 6.06!

Oh. Funny! OK, I guess that's a rare enough condition that it can be ignored then.

[Nelphine]

Oh...cities already start with that value if they were generated at the beginning of the game. So this is a bug with the New Game generation.
Yeah I think it doesn't set the value to zero at the start of the game. So it's random - whatever was at that memory address originally...

Whew. Glad/not glad it was something like this.  I was afraid the AI had gotten super good at scouting with long scout range units, and so I actually hadn't seen them coming in. Hopefully it's fixable!

[Seravy]

Yeah it was already fixed and will be part of the next release.

[Nelphine]

Thank you very much Seravy!

Good job.

Might the same be happening for nodes? I have an AI warping nodes on another plane that I'm 100% sure it hasn't ever visited. The entire plane, not the nodes.

[Seravy]

Nodes never had an AI scouting feature.

[Nelphine]

Yup just like unit curses, nodes can be targeted anywhere. (So firestorm, dispelling wave, blizzard, warp node, all can simply target anything on either plane.)

[Impy]

With the new version released, is an offsite rehost of the modded game files a possibility?

[Seravy]

I think the easiest is to just upload it here...

I'm attacking a lair. It has 2 gargoyles and 7 hell hounds.  Its next to (and presumably within the aura of) a chaos node (since the node had hydra, I'm assuming all the adjacent squares are covered.)

The Hell Hounds are.. 6 melee, 6 breath, 6 defense, 9!!! resistance.  The gargoyles are 7 melee, 13 armor, 13 resistance.

I didn't really think about it, but the hydra I just took out had 17 resistance and 8 armor; and were accompanied by Chimera with at least 9 armor, maybe 10 armor (but I killed them several battles before, and I didn't notice to wonder).

??

I've attached the save before I attack; my 8 magicians + Baghtru are going to attack the gargoyle lair to the north east.
