Title: Possible Bug(s) Regarding: Magic Faction
Post by: ArcaneTime on 1 April 2008, 00:16:14

Structure/Unit: The Wicker Behemoth.
In conjunction with: Initiate.
Process: Building/Ritual.

Initiate builds (?) a Wicker Behemoth, while building, if I right click anywhere with the Initiate selected, the Wicker Behemoth building process is halted, and cannot be resumed by the original Initiate, or any other Initiate, thus resulting in a loss of 200 Wood.

Is this a bug?

Also:
-Only one Initiate per Wicker Behemoth, thus no grouped Initiate building efforts... Probably not a bug, but is it?

Touched on before:
-Resource graphic lag when Initiate has a load of gold/stone/wood and switches to another resource. Minor graphical glitch. Game still playable. Any fix?

Finally:
-If an Initiate is promoted to a Battlemage/Archmage, any load on Initiate is lost forever, but the load status is still present with the Battlemage/Archmage. Is there any fix?

You're ... strange.

Are you talking about the old version again?
And another thing: ressurecting old threads isn't very popular either.

Yes, I know I'm strange.

No, not talking about the old version again. This is the current version, 3.1.2; however, I'm not sure if I have the advanced pack, and I don't think I have the advanced engine or whatever.

So, I'd still like an answer.

However, in trying to deal with the problem I have realized a sort of 'wall' strategy against the AI. If you have a line of just started Wicker Behemoths, and other units behind them, say Battlemages, you can keep the Battlemages behind the Wicker Behemoth framework, and make it act like a palisade. Thus, using an Initiate, create Wicker Behemoth, then another, etc. They don't have to be worked on either.

And I'm not popular. =].

But I am interested.

I also noticed that if a wicker behemoth framework building's process is interrupted then it is currently impossible to resume. However I can get multiple acolytes to help with the building process.

I haven't noticed any significant graphic lag and I personally don't think the resource load being lost on a promoted acolyte is a big deal.

How do you get multiple Initiates to help with the building process?
I right click, and they walk over and stand there doing nothing...

Do you use the advanced pack? I cannot find it =[.
And it's not a big deal, I'm just a little OCD.

Yes, you're right; they initiates don't help with the building. I also tested the advanced engine and it's the same case. I managed to force an initiate to "help" by summoning a second wicker behemoth in the same spot... I didn't notice if it cost me extra resources or not though.

I had a look through the XML file for the wicker behemoth and compared it against the golem and some buildings and it looks okay, so not sure where the bug is.

It's in the repair command for the initiate. It has a list of repairable units, and the wicker behemoth isn't in it. To make it repair it (which is the same as helping building in that case)add it to the list.
