Hey guys First time here and have a slight problem with christas gift not always working properly(sometimes it triggers sometimes no)...so what i want to know is the lua file that controls it so that i can try and mod it a bit...thanks in advance

Well, caved in and started playing the Valhalla edition. At least the horrible crash-at-first-battle bugs are fixed, but there are still quite a few...

-Christa's gift leaves enemies woefully unaffected. HOW could they have missed this during testing? If there was even any testing...
- Ice Wall - a nifty ability, but imagine my surprise when my Berserkers, after using the ability Berserk, instead of going for the undead enemy within their reach, went out of their way to go and attack the Wall! WTF?!?
- Skald (unit) - Pangs of Conscience is quite overpowered. I still don't get how much bonus the Skalds get for leadership, but once after attacking an enemy that previously did 17 damage in its last attack, my 25-something Skalds hit them for 107 damage... Huh.
-Speaking of the Ice Wall again - when the enemy Necromancers attacked my unit behind it, and damaged the Wall, it retaliated hitting them - on the other side of the screen. I am fairly sure it's not supposed to do that... Or is it a ranged attack Wall?
-Call Colossus: Once I got the first such scroll, I kept trying to use it (via the usual 'Spider Egg' method) to get me some Jotuns... to no avail. After checking the spells_adv.lua file, I found out why - they are oddly missing from the "Giant Birth" spell's logic, as are Ancient Ents. But even more oddly, Ents (even thought they are not Level 5) are included. I posted a solution in the bugfix thread.

It works sometimes? I dunno, never worked for me... then again I mostly tried it against undead and beasts (since there is little else on the first islands, darn this game is soooo linear) - maybe it only affects humans/humanoids? Someone needs to check the logic file of the skill....

Found another bug - Jotun has "Greed" which supposed to raise his morale +10 after it kills a troop. Except, this doesn't happen...

Hmmm...i remember it working against skeletons and regular zombies...and a human stack too(cant remember its type though)...is there a lua file or something that controls its logic?

[BB Shockwave]

There probably is - I could not find it yet.

Ok..guess we'll both have to keep lookin on a side a note:it worked on a phantom pirate in fastland and worked on a dwarf miner while upgrading boots...but it seems to be very random at best

I read it here on the forums that it's supposed to put an "effect icon" (little red triangle appears) on the troops in the vicinity - can you confirm that? For me, no icon appears even if I put the coins right next to the enemy. Currently I can only use the skill to block enemy passage when Wall of blades is reloading, and to get some extra cash.

Btw, another bug - I think - is that I never see a message saying "Olaf gained X experience" after using rage skills. The skills level up, and I see the experience gained after battles in the "details", but AP/CW got me used to seeing how much XP a skill gives - and even how much it WILL give when mousing over it, so this is a step back.

Yeah it puts an effect icon (the little red debuff triangle but even with that it triggers randomly) and if you right click an enemy it shows a treasure icon in its status indicating a greed debuff i think.
As for gaining rage xp it my skills level up but i never see any messages indicating xp gained

Guess then mine doesn't even do that as no such debuff icons appears.... And I am using version 1.31 Build 6520.
