I currently have one rank in the skill Transmute. (Mana on unit stack deaths)

If I destroy an enemy unit with a spell, I do not gain the mana from its death.

Haven't tried it with multiple ranks on the skill yet.

This is the description of the Icy Rage skill.

Critical hit of Rage skills: [param1]. Chance of freezeing a troop for [param2] rounds with probability [param3].

I assumed that "Critical hit of Rage skills" meant that rage skills can now deal critical damage. The alternative being increasing crit damage of rage skills makes no sense. [param1] was originally maxxed at 9% (I think). I bumped it up to 60%, which should give me more than one crit per two targets (assuming damage is calculated separately for each target in a multi-target rage skill). However, I've had 0 crits total, before and after I've changed the value. [param2] and [param3] works as indicated (and when modified).

So yeah, translation is a bit splotchy (Favorite of the Gods is another one). Skill might also be borked.

Gift of Odin ability for the War Maiden's doesn't seem to always work. I've no idea exactly why... perhaps there is a leadership cap on it or something?

Yes the leadership of the warrior maiden must be above the target. The tooltip don't mention it.

I'd like to add that Beholder is treated as Mage unit. Beholder has no spells so it shouldn't. (He gets more damage from the Magic arrow spell)

I think that is correct - I remember some spells/abilities affecting Mages being valid for Beholders too in Crossworlds.

Btw, quick question - a bug that I once fixed but could never replicate the process for some reason, in Crossworlds. The morale-raising ability of Royal Griffins did not affect Rune Mages for some reason. Pissed me off as I was using an all-human+Griffins army. Was that ever fixed for WotN?

The Goblin Shaman ability "Threads of Life" doesn't seem to target properly. The Shaman cast the spell on a unit (the ability basically reflects some of the damage a unit is dealt back on the attacker), but when I attacked a different unit (without the spell), I got damage reflected back on me.

Yes, already tryed to load a quicksave and a standard save; the whole save pack must be corrupted or the bug is persistent in this setting scenario.

To solve i simply skipped battle.

BUG:

Spell "Last Hero" causes a crash when the unit is attacked. Commonly used by the skald (viking).


Workaround: DONT use skalds in your army and dont use the LAST HERO spell.
And kill enemy SKALDs fast.

Or add -dev on ashortcut of the EXE. When you encounter a freeze, just alt tab to close the error message.

[aghiuta]

the -dev thing did the trick, it used to crash at the fight with Eric (so it was a non avoidable fight), happened 7 times, but after adding -dev and starting as admin no more crashes. Will keep fighting and checking if any more occur.

Thanks for that workaround !
