1.12.1 Cleodil's extra healing to Kalenz

[Smedley]

Cleodil's bond to Kalenz is a nice touch but as stated in descriptions of her abilities, Cleo still does not give extra healing to Kalenz when adjacent; just the usual +8 any unit gets. This was reported a long time ago [in 1.9.x-1.10.x] and a code fix was given, but I can't really compile my own exe. I thought it might be implemented by now since a couple stable releases came, or at least the description edited to not mention the +4 for Kalenz.

here's the quote I dug up from from way back:

Hi, fabi!
Thanks for the clarification. I've managed to implement your idea and here is the code:
1. Cleodil can cure and heal +8 everyone
2. Cleodil can cure and heal Kalenz +12
3. Cleodil can give leadership to Kalenz (I prefered to call it "Inspire Kalenz" instead of "Elated Kalenz", but its just my opinion)
4. Fixed syntax errors in descriptions

I hope you'll find it usefull.

Good catch. The heals_kalenz ability is already there, but it has value=4 instead of value=12, and as heals don't stack, only the standard +8 was applied.

BTW, if you only change .cfg files you don't need to compile, the game loads them on-the-fly when you start the scenario. Just change the value in data\campaigns\Legend_of_Wesmere\utils\abilities.cfg line 30 and it'll work (you'd have to restart from Elvish Treasury because it's applied in that scenario).

[Ravana]

I wonder if it would be possible to create modification that indeed makes all heals stack.

[aquileia]

Possible - probably. But IMHO it'd be insanely unbalanced: A frontline of woses backed up by 2 druids each would give you +24 each turn...

It would also be less realistic, you don't heal twice as fast because two physicians look after you.

I thought they did - provided they were on different allied sides. Am I out of date again?

[Ravana]

Then sure, I was thinking for survival.

That's indeed an exception. It happens because the allied healer heals during their own side turn, which doesn't count as 'at the same time'.
