[1.0 Bug?] Spell of Making no win when doing Master Quest?

from Elemental Forums

I'm not quite sure if this is a bug or if I have misunderstood the concept of the Spell of Making but when my sov casted it while a champ of mine was simultaniously doing the Master Quest I didn't win. I only heard wind and saw some multispectral light shimmering wheree my sov stood baut that was it.

The Spell of Making takes 10 turns to cast. It should say so on its page in the spellbook. Going for one of the other victory conditions has no bearing on your ability to win through the spell. Except if you win by one the others first, of course.

Yeah, I know that it takes 10 turns. There is even a progress bar for it below the power bars of the factions you've met, and a red X in a silver circle above your sov's army. Still, after the 10 turns were done the progress bar disappeared as did the silver circle, I heard what sounded like a strong gust of wind, and that multispectral shimmering light a few tiles from were my sov stood appeared. Nothing more...

Okay, that is odd. I never had any trouble winning by Spell of Making. In one game, I had done all but the last battle of the Master Quest, before going for the Spell after all.

I suggest you upload the savegame, if you still have it, so the devs can take a look at it. There really is something fishy going on in your game.

BAH, unluckily I don't have it anymore. I guess I'll try again in my current game as Resoln.

 

And since we're at it with savegames: HOW do I generate a new savegame?! So far I was only able to save over the old savegame from the tutorial. When I just hit save nothing happens (like a pop up box asking for a name for the new savegame). Only when I choose either that old tutorial savegame or one of the auto-saves can I actually save...

In the 'Save Game'-menu click on the bar at the top, type in a name, and then click on 'Save'.

I had the same problem just now in a game as Resoln.

 

The Spell of Making happened to complete on the same turn that I got a "World Achievement".  It looked like it started to do the "you win!" series of events, but then popped up the "World Achievement" box.

So now I have to win another way...although I guess I can just cast it again...
