Very cool. I can code the fear entry as green once you think its read.

Another test you could do would be whether ice storm is castable from a feared soothsayer on a level 5 unit. Sure, it won't come up much, but I think that one could also target a non-occupied square and still hit an illegal mob. Maybe imp fireball would fall into this category too, but I haven't had those in so long I don't know if you can target an empty square.

Or is that totally unrelated and it's really whether or not an ability is coded as offensive?

Add this: artefact Courtly Garb cannot be upgraded allthough you have this option. When you click OK nothing happens.

quests:
-- fly the banner - although you kill the orc in the citadel you have no option to raise the flag and you cannot finish the quest
-- a star is born - see above, no flag no dress no quest
-- luckless hunter - although you kill the unicorn you get no artifact so you cannot finish the quest
-- paper for the professor - maybe not a bug but I didn't manage to get ink for the professor (paper yes, ink not)
-- Dead man can't be pirates - sirius pale atacked me before I got the quest so now I cannot finish it.

The problem is that it's really hard to arrange those sorts of fights. Wish the game had a built-in arena so you could pick units (on both sides). That'd make a lot of this testing much, much easier.

No kidding. And here I thought you had discovered some magical unit spawner or console command to swap units. In any case the fix you made is very appreciated. I'm going to mod it in now and go look for a catapult.

"Action Rage" skill don't reduce the rest time of Hilda Arrows - it starts from 2 and remains at 2 even at lv 3 action rage skill. Don't know what happens if you upgrade it and increase the rest time.

I'm not really sure about this, maybe someone else noticed it as well:

When casting Greasy Mist lvl3 (-70% ranged damage) on skeleton archers, their damage shows 0-0. But I suspect the game somehow treats this wrong, as they seem to be doing normal damage. When using the lvl2 spell, they have 1-1 damage and it seems to be less damage. I'll observe this further when I get around to it.

On a side note, on one or two occasions, they really did close to no damage (I believe 1 damage, but not 100% sure) when under the effect of the lvl3 mist, but I have no idea when this happens...

@Bhruic I've coded the fear bug to green indicating there is a fix. Thanks!
@mandea I have several of those quests listed but this is my first report about "fly the banner" and "a star is born." Are you using a patched or unpatched game?
@Handel is Action Rage working for other rage skills, or not doing anything at all? I think someone reported this earlier and I missed it. I will search the bugs thread.
@Xargon I do use that spell but never thought to check the damage range. It could be working as intended though... maybe it reduces the total damage by x%? Bhruic could probably tell us if the code is sound.

Update - back on page 22 there was a three part conversation about the Rage Ready skill. Some players thought it only impacts Olaf's skills, while others said it impacts Valkyrie skills but you have to take in account upgrades which increase the timer. It was never resolved into a clear bug - does anybody have new data or the ability to do some tests?

it's unpatched but I don't recall seing anything related to this in the patch notes.

Ok, I had another look and it is not a bug. The simple reason is that greasy mist does not reduce the damage they inflict with their two special arrow abilities. Well, at least it is not a bug in the game mechanics, I'm not sure if the damage from these abilities should logically be reduced as well...

I've seen troops do 0 ranged damage before, but not in WotN. I think it rounds somewhere in there, and can possibly round down to 0, but am not completely sure.
