Please help if you can

October 24, 2012 3:50:02 PM from Elemental ForumsElemental Forums

Okey, I've been busy trying make a an ability similar to the "Cult of a Hundred Eyes" abaility except this ability instead of training spiders allows the use to train a special type of domesticated dragon I created for custom faction. The dragon is weaker than the standard storm dragon, but quicker to train. I've been trying to get it to wear my custom faction ability allows the creature to trained in my cities, but for whatever it's not working. I set up the dragon in a way similar to the bound spider with a production cost and a the ability as prereq for the unit, yet at doesn't appear as a starting unit. If someone could help me figure out what I'm doing wrong I'd be most grateful.

Here's the ability

First problem I see is you have too many traits. Any trained unit can only have the maximum, which is default 4.

could you combine fire resistance, cold vulnerability, and monstrous into one trait?

Absolutely. You just create a new trait and copy/paste the gamemodifiers from the traits in question.

I had a question, how can you swap Magnar race skin textures with Kraxis, for example? Is it possible to do?
