Imperial Era

[Temuchin Khan]

I have another new unit idea fir the Arendians. This one is a creature from Welsh lore, the Llamhigyn y Dwr--a giant, man-eating, legless, semi-aquatic, semi-flying toad. I'm no good at picel art, though, so someone else would have to make a sprite, if there's enough interest. But what do you all think? Shall I make some file for this monster?

Sorry I've been a little inactive over here, folks. I'm a new father in last few months and am just a little time poor. I really appreciate the feedback, though. Please keep the suggestions rolling in and when I get a little free headspace I'll be back to implement suggestions.

There is a bug with advancement from Retriarius - the resulting unit is still called Retriarius (judging by its description, should be Retriarius Maior), and they are also missing AMLA data, and as such cannot get any exp at all. It was reported in one of the campaign threads before.

Congrats UnwiseOwl! May your kids grow up healthy and happy to play and develop Wesnoth!

The Retiarius Maior (previously called the Fleet Retiarius) is the top of the tree now since the level 3 version was removed, and should have AMLA instead of of promoting. I've pushed an update to it today that should fix that issue. Thank you for the report (and I'm sorry if I missed a previous one!).

(Thanks, tr0ll!)

Nice to see a new version! Any other changes besides the Retiarius line (which I'm fine with, by the way)?

Is there any chance that the Auctorias bug is going to be fixed?

What's the bug? I searched and it seems a bug was fixed in it in 2017. Looking at the tag it appears fine but it does use some complex syntax so who knows.

Disclaimer: I'm just another fan of the era

Auctorias is currently nonfunctional; the presence of a Decurion/Centurion does nothing to improve the damage of nearby Legionaries and Bowmen. It's supposed to function like Leadership specifically for Lavinian units, but it doesn't.

I also thought that I'd successfully fixed it. I will take a look and see if I can find the issue. Input from others very appreciated, I'm very rusty and I was never a WML wizard to start with.

https://github.com/search?q=repo%3AUnwi ... &type=code doesnt give results.

[race]
id=IE_Lavinian

[filter]
formula="level < other.level"
race=IE_lavinian

[UnwiseOwl]

Typo. Should be "Auctoritas"

You're right that it doesn't seem to be functioning as intended. I am not sure what the issue is.

Here is the code as it currently stands:

Code: Select all

#define ABILITY_IE_AUCTORITAS
    [leadership]
        id=ie_auctoritas
        value="(25 * (level - other.level))"
        cumulative=no
        name= _ "auctoritas"
        description= _ "This unit is an officer of the Legion, and inspires all true Lavinian soldiers to greatness.

Adjacent friendly Lavinian (not Nemidian or Auxiliary) units of lower level will do more damage in battle. When such a unit adjacent to, of a lower level than a unit with Auctoritas engages in combat, its attacks do 25% more damage times the difference in their levels."
        affect_self=no
        [affect_adjacent]
            [filter]
                formula="level < other.level"
                race=IE_lavinian
            [/filter]
        [/affect_adjacent]
    [/leadership]
#enddef

Actually, neither this nor ABILITY_IE_FORMATION_DEV appear to be functioning correctly

[gnombat]

I'm not sure if this is actually case-sensitive, but the code is sometimes using "IE_Lavinian", sometimes using "IE_lavinian".

Formation seems to work for me ingame, actually. It's just Auctorias that's nonfunctional.

Hmmm my copy has that uppercased. The file also has a later date so I may have fixed this on my copy and shamefully never submitted it to github.

I checked vs 1.14 IE and it seems the id was uppercased for 1.16. Looks like nothing more than an oversight of a missed conversion.
