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.

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.

After checking the Morale.TXT - btw, even correcting it doesn't make this work for me, in Crossworlds that is - I noticed the section about the Runemage itself is missing completely - IE, that he increases the morale of all archmages, priests and inquisitors... So I guess that doesn't work either.

Guys, people are also reporting a lot of random crashes and there is also a steam synching problem. How do you want to handle those? Are you going to make a support sub-forum? That might be a good place for those.

In general I am not including the random crashes here - just crashes that are common, reproducible, and as a result of using an ability/clicking a menu (like the Skald+Last Hero thing or the bad dialog on the third valkyrie).

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?

Added the Soothsayer and Sense Weakness skill. I think they make beholder a mage because of the sleep spell on its eye beam so I'm not sure it's a bug.

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.
