Produced Bard didn't get his magic items

from Elemental Forums


I designed Bard Henchman to come equipped with a horse and Belt of Speed, Ring of Embers, Ring of Life and Ring of the Glacier. The equipment added to the production cost, so it cost 337 production, 50 gold, 7 crystal, 20 fame and 1 horse.

 

When it was produced the stupid bard did NOT have his magic items (at least I cannot see them in equpment nor can they be traded). He had a horse and normal armor but no weapon as my Sov had one for him.

 

Why were the magic items missing? Bug or do I make something wrong?

The magic items are there, they just don't show up in equipment and can't be traded (but they do show up on the picture of the unit).  The henchman still gets the benefit of them, PLUS he can equip the usual 4 (or 5 with Tinker) accessories on top of that.

Oooh, good news. Makes him even better.  :)   Thanks.

 

Bard went from "stupid" to excellent. ;)

A mount also doesn't show up in equipment, but it is still used.  If you equip a mount on the Equip screen, it replaces the in-built mount.  If no mount is equipped, the in-built one is used.  Note this only applies if the hench is trained with a mount included.

Good to know. It may be that he has double horses... I'll check.

 

EDIT: now I cannot see any horse on the bard (so you were correct) - but his Picture shows a horse and he has good move. I think I saw the horse in the Equipment-screen immediately after he was produced - but that may be that I remember wrong or that it was a temporary bug.

Both accessories and mounts don't show up on the equipment screen (on the right, but the accessories do show up on the unit picture on the left) after the henchman is trained.  If you equip a mount, it replaces the in-built mount, but if no mount is equipped on the equipment screen, he uses the mount he was given (if he was given a mount in the unit design).  Accessories can't be traded and don't take up any room, and apply IN ADDITION TO the ones you have equipped on the equipment screen, the equipment screen accessories do NOT overwrite the in-built ones.

Any other items that a henchmen is created with can be traded or sold, but not the mounts or the accessories.
