So I decided to try out the new 1.19d beta. Haven't played in awhile. My goal was to test out the new spellcasting selection.
Short story is - does not work.
Long version:
- 1 - Had Procipinee and a few heroes in capital. Tried casting Arcane Weapon on the city square. It comes up with a blank selection screen.
- 2 - Moved Procipinee and Janusk out of the capital. Tried again. This time selection screen came up as expected. I chose Procipinee. Spell worked as advertised.
- 3 - Tried casting again to beef up Janusk. No spell selection screen. The spell is automatically assigned to Procipinee. So now Procipinee has Arcane Weapon on twice.
- 4 - Went to Ledger. Disable second Arcane Weapon. Tried casting again using Procipinee and then selected Janusk in the little round coin picture. Spell casts automatically - no selection screen. Procipinee again has 2 Arcane Weapons on her. Major problem is that the game registers that the spell was cast by Janusk! This is impossible since he is not imbued.
- 5 - Dispelled both Arcane Weapons and tried casting again. Spell selection window comes up as expected.
So, several problems still with spell selection.
Just to clarify point 4 above:
- Start casting a spell with your Sovereign - by first selecting the round coin and then clicking the Cast Spell button.
- Select Spell, in this case Arcane Weapon
- When wand pointer is active, select a hero's coin in the same square, in this case Janusk
- Choose target of spell in selection window. In this case Procipinee.
- Ledger will now report that Janusk has cast the spell and his enchantment tab will show the spell being maintained.
Final problem:
- Whenever Arcane Weapon is cast on a hero, the stats on their portrait DO NOT update until you deselect all units, click on a different square, and then click back on the hero again. The portrait stats SHOULD update instantly when the spell is cast.
Well thats my report for now.
Edit: For clarity.
