With Tears of Sucellus one usually can heal (30%) a unit per turn. But it needs life mana. As Malakim you have life mana from the beginning, but you cannot heal units until you have a life mana node extra. Should not be, isn't it?
Editing: It seems to be only an "incorrect" translation in the German version. It's the Shrine of Sucellus, of course.

I fully agree with you, it is ununderstandable loosing regulary a fight with 99,7% or similar, even when you reload several times to try it out. It seems to me the AI plays uncorrectly for it is far from a probability calculation. And winning a fight with a 1,2% quote is crazy.couldn't it be the opposite ??
ie : make the combat match the combat odds ...
because having a lvl (many) str (many) having 99,9 against a spearman and loosing (uncorrected) or having 0.01% (combat odds match combat) changes nothing
the issue is that it should be 99.9 and almost never loose.
from what I gathered, the issue seems to be more about the combat calculation itself than odd's calculation...
but maybe I'm totally off.

When using a unit with the fear promotion; when the unit attacks and wins combat, all defending units will retreat from the defending location and the attacking unit will move in the location; this do not occur in cities though.
I thought that fear was effective during defense: an attacking unit would break its attack against the unit with the fear promotion.

This is as designed. I'm not sure where I read it - perhaps in the 'Pedia under the Fear promotion.

This may be intentional, but when i use an adept to construct wall of stone i still need to build city walls in order to build a castle.

Yeah, the stone wall from the spell is temporary. If you move your adept out of the city, the wall is gone.
RE:Comments from my last two posts: I'd be happy to discuss those issues on another thread.
Suggested fix; let me know if you want more detail.
I should note that the main known issue with this code is that if a defender is immune to all the attacker's damage, the attack is still valid, but the attacker's strength is treated as 0.01. I am not certain that this is desired (or undesired) behavior; I merely consider it far better than ignoring the defender's resistances.

It is possible for a unit to gain over 100% resistance. With the current math (or the math I suggest above), any resistance above 100% is treated as a negative toward the rest of the other creature's strength (in other words, a creature with 100% fire resistance attacking a Fire Elemental would not do as well as one with 120% resistance, but is otherwise the same). I'm not certain if that is desired.

I'm experiencing a crash while playing Hyborem. It occurs when I research Divine Essence, but I don't know if that is the cause.
I can't upload the save here, because it is too large.
How can I sent it, and to whom?

Come across another error after it continues to crash from time to time. This one is found over and over in my xml.log file.
Not quite sure why it's looking in that file, there's only a this in that file.
I doubt this will fix my current problem with the constent crashing from time to time, but it sure can't harm it by trying to correct the problem.

The problem (if there is one) is in other XML files. The information above suggests that CVI4UnitClassInfos.xml and CIV4BuildingInfos.xml are missing/corrupt/not loading successfully, or possibly just loading after the tutorial file.
I'd zip it or rar it, then post it here.

On a wrap-around map, which most maps are, the spread of hell terrain does not wrap around. It goes to the "edge" of the map (what you see in the minimap) and then stops. This is significant when Hyborem spawns near the edge of the map.
EDIT: (a month later...) Okay, I just had a game where the spread of hell terrain did wrap around. Now I wish I had kept a savegame from the time it didn't wrap. In the game where it didn't wrap, Hyborem spawned very near the western edge of the map. Hell terrain spread far to the east, but never crossed the short water expanse to enter my lands to the west. There was no alignment or AC counter reason for it not to spread. I have no idea what caused the initial result, but I just had a game where hell terrain did wrap around the edge of the map. 'Just thought I would update this post with that information.

Interesting. That is one more issue at the map edge, then - I wonder why the edge causes so much trouble.
I've captured a wolf, and have sent it back to my capital.
Just as my wolf is entering my capital, it turns out that Garrim Gyr (with whom I have open borders) has a scout in my capital. Instead of just entering the tile, my wolf attacks Garrim Gyr's scout and dies.
I understand that my wolf had HN, and therefore could attack without fear of causing a war, but I really didn't want it to attack. Is there anyway of stopping this?... and no, I don't want to hand-hold my wolf all the way back to the capital 1 tile at a time making sure he doesn't attack anyone.

You can declare nationality. If you want to put him in a pen, it doesn't matter if you do or not. Otherwise, no you have to hold his paw all the way to a city.
Keep in mind, once in the city HN is off, so they are safe from attacks from others.

To what jwin said I'd add that Garrim Gyr's scout would have attacked your wolf anyway, so 'handholding' really isn't the issue.
If you want to add an animal to a carnival or create a dancing bear with it or whatever, declare nationality.
If you want to use it as a HN mercenary, treat it like any other HN mercenary. (Stack it with other HN units and keep an eye on it lest it be removed from the ecosystem by a more powerful AI unit or stack.)
Here's the fixed code:
The changed lines are:
The original code was attempting to compare szArtDefineTag directly with "ERROR", which (while valid in most cases in python) will always return false in C++ (save in a single contrived edge case). This would cause it to go down the error branch, which causes an infinite recursive loop, and a crash at the stack overflow.
This appears to be a vanilla defect as well.
Spoiler :
The changed lines are:
Code:
int iCompare = strncmp( szArtDefineTag, "ERROR", strlen(szArtDefineTag) ); \
if ( iCompare == 0 ) \This appears to be a vanilla defect as well.
Thank you, Sureshot
, for this valuable advice, now I know, why the odds are always the same.
