Transmute and possible error

Sortvind · #1 11-25-2009, 02:10 AM

I am not gonna shout out; Zomg a bug!!!
Rather, i am gonna ask you if you can clear something up for me.

The Ability Transmute, magic section, it gives you mana after killing a fiend and x2 that amount if one of your troops gets killed. Easy enough.
What i don`t get, is why i don`t get the mana if you kill the fiend using magic?
Might not be a bug, but it is damn annoying when i kill 3 using fireball and i could be in + instead of - 20 mana during that cast.
When i write kill fiend, i mean the whole stack.

All help and reply is appreciated

I don't recall ever seeing a map object that gives leadership, other than those little flags you pick up, but there are altars that give experience. Are you sure the popup tip says leadership?

Aaaah, that explains why my brain auto-connected it to Leadership.
Thank you, you saved me some über hard fighting.
Got any views on the Transmute?

Transmute works only when a stack dies.

That is correct, and it does work in that way, but not if the stack dies from a magic attack, thats what i find weird.

I checked and u are corect, i used area spells and 1 target spells , and u dont get any mana.
I think it's a oversight or a bug.

Not bug.
It would be a cheat.
example:
Transmute 3 lvl.
"i kill 3 using fireball" -10 mana and + 3*10 from transmute = +20 mana
In the game, and without that a lot of ways to get mana.

it's the same reason for which you don't get rage when you use rage (that does damage). it would be a cheat.
