Scion body magic?

[zoommooz]

In my letest game, after Alcinus produced the building (forget name) that gives the scion their second and third mana type, one of them was body. Now, my adpets are unable to promote in the body sphere?? I noticed that there is an addition promotion called corus (again not the right name, not near my game computer at the moment) which does prohibit body promotions, but according to the role over, this proabition is only if I take the corus promotion?? Why I ask is because a mage needs body III to get to certain levels of mastery, and if scion mages cannot take body sphere promotions then this means they have no chance at omnipetence?? Is this right ?

Don't know about the mastery issue, but Undead mages(like the Scions) get Corpus instead of Body.

Undead units cannot use Body, and instead use Corpus; The majority of body spells are useless to undead.

Unfortunately, it looks like currently Corpus does not allow you to move onto Master of Body and Enchantment; I've modified it so that either Body3 or Corpus3 allows you to gain the promotion. It will be in the next patch.

Or, if you are comfortable modifying XML (which is ONLY text), open up Rise from Erebus/assets/xml/units/promotioninfos.xml with any text editor of your choice; Notepad works fine here.

Search for 'MASTER_OF_BODY' (using ctrl-f), and replace that promotion entry (From <PromotionInfo> to </PromotionInfo>) with the following:

		<PromotionInfo>		<!-- Master of Body and Enchantment -->
            <Type>PROMOTION_MASTER_OF_BODY_AND_ENCHANTMENT</Type>
            <Description>TXT_KEY_PROMOTION_MASTER_OF_BODY_AND_ENCHANTMENT</Description>
            <Sound>AS2D_IF_LEVELUP</Sound>
            <PromotionPrereq>PROMOTION_ENCHANTMENT3</PromotionPrereq>
			<PromotionPrereqOr1>PROMOTION_CORPUS3</PromotionPrereqOr1>
			<PromotionPrereqOr2>PROMOTION_BODY3</PromotionPrereqOr2>
			<bAutoAcquire>1</bAutoAcquire>
			<bNoXP>1</bNoXP>
			<iFirstStrikesChange>2</iFirstStrikesChange>
			<iCombatPercent>30</iCombatPercent>
			<UnitCombats>
                <UnitCombat>
                    <UnitCombatType>UNITCOMBAT_ADEPT</UnitCombatType>
                    <bUnitCombat>1</bUnitCombat>
                </UnitCombat>
            </UnitCombats>
            <Button>Art/Civs/ArcaneMastery/Promotions/Bodyenchantment.dds</Button>
            <iAIWeight>400</iAIWeight>
            <PromotionNextLevel>PROMOTION_MASTER_OF_ALTERATION</PromotionNextLevel>
		</PromotionInfo>

Thanks for the response, will mod the xml file. On a separate note the ai is finally putting up a great fight on immortal level, with the ai's growth set much easier (i adjusted the xml). It seems the ai's tech struggles corresponded to lack of growth.

It's in the latest SVN update as well.
