[Bug] Guardian Statue can't cast spells

from Elemental Forums

The description when building a guardian statue led me to believe that it could cast whatever spells my sovereign could.  When my city was attacked, however, the spells tab during the statue's turn was greyed out.

 

I looked for a debug file in the place stated in the sticky, but there wasn't one.

 

I'm playing through steam, custom race: lucky, scrying pools, bronze shields, one handed spears, tile fortification.  Sovereign started with death and water magic, sacrificed heroes for the three other schools available.  I rescued one champion who had some low level life spells, but I wouldn't expect those on the statue.  Huge map, 5 opponents, insane creeps, challenging factions.

Just checking - there are 2 different improvements:

  • Guardian Idol - this is a 1 per faction improvement that allows the statue to cast the same spells as your sovereign
  • Guardian Statue - this can be built anywhere, and provides an extra Guardian Statue defender in the city, but does *not* allow spell casting

Are you sure that the city in question had the 1/faction Guardian Idol?

oh my.

 

Yes, I thought that the idol allowed two statues and that all of them could spellcast.  My fault.
