No patch.
I plan on starting a mage soon, skald not so satisfying so was just exploring with this char to get a feel for the game.

I am playing with the -dev thingy so i get error messages in different window, will write them down when they happen again.

Updates:

• Marked Ice dragon as fixed
• Added Book of Evil's drain ability to Spells
• Added Calm Rage reducing max rage to Spells
• Added Royal Griffon summon problem to Units
• Added Olaf's personal rage skills not being used in autocombat to Rage
• Added additional ranks in Edda have no effect to Skills

Has anybody seen the bug with orcs attacking ice creatures after the patch? Or the bug with Call of Valhalla after the patch? Call is working for me.

@Avo that look like a bug if you haven't patched. If you patch they updated the description so its clear everbody gets hit. If you would like it as written pre-patch, there is mod on the bug fixes thread for it.

It's a good game, if you like it, you should consider getting the officially patched version.

Spell Heat Focus lv.1 make the game crash to desktop during battle.

The problem occurred during the "elf invasion" just after Mista Cloud join your party.

Never tryed the spell before and never upgraded it, so i dunno if the problem it's for the lv.1 only.

I'm not sure if this is a bug or not, but this sure surprised me; I ran across my first orc unit in the game, and a stack of orc hunters rather rudely used their training skill to charm my stack of royal snakes. I thought that this skill only let the enemy summon a stack of friendly forest beasties, not take control of them! (It actually seems like an interesting addition for the ability, but it should be referenced in the tooltip).

Interesting. So you can use training to charm animals as well as summon them? I have no idea how they'd make that work hehe. Anybody fielding orc units that has done this?

If you can let know what the tooltip normally says that would help me write an entry for the bug list.

@RCDown can you try the spell in another fight and see what happens? thanks!

Edit - PS, has anybody noticed that Pygmy sometimes makes enemies look tiny and sometimes it doesn't? They always lose life and stats, though.

Turn out that the root cause of this problem is the same as the root cause of the Last Hero spell is/was - they neglected to include the sound file for the spell. You can fix this by cutting out the "sound" section of the magic_temper_diff.atom file, or you could substitute another sound file name in that section. Either way, the spell(s) will work at that point.

Allright, tnx man!

just, i cannot find the atom file in question. can you point me out?

And btw, i dont' think many out here got the game patched: the old save will be wasted and with him hours of gameplay.
I'm one of those; don't like to start over, some point are difficult or repetitive.

In the ses.kfs file (it's just a zip file, you can open it with something like 7zip), you'll find the magic_temper_diff.atom file. Cut out the following (lines 202-210):

  1 {
    sound {
      animation=default
      frame=0.01/2.00999999
      restart=true
      file=magic_temper_diff
      fadetime=60
    }
  }

Or, if you wish, you could look up another soundfile to replace for the non-existent one, but that's probably more work.

Sorry if it was posted before, but I wanted to report that Troll's ability "Pacify" does not work for me. Ability sais the initiative of the victim will drop to 1 and that he will deal minimal damage but none of these things happen. Should be investigated.
