Gate - teleportation modification

Post by Jarom »

When activated, Gate modification gives an AMLA to max-level units (or not) depending on several configurable conditions - minimum level, teleport ability and magical (or EoMa precision) ranged attack. Basically it's designed to seek teleporting mages - only Silver Mage in default, but you can widen the criteria, acquire the teleport ability via other means, e.g. through a WC2 artifact, or use a different era (like EoMa).

Simple demonstration

Available for both sp and mp, intended for various campaigns.

Nice.

P.S. I finally actually installed and tried it and it works well. I really appreciate the custom options as I prefer to turn off the magical ranged attack and level requirements as well as allowing any sort of teleport ability. Just so it works with the greatest variety of custom era units.

Oh and I was wondering if it would work with EoMa precision but now on re-reading this post I see that it should work. Not sure how since it looks for id = precision and EoMa uses eoma_precision as id. Maybe it uses a wildcard?

Thanks for bringing my attention to this, I've done some further exploration and actually magical filter was completely broken and did not work as intended. It slipped though my testing of the last revision - basically, I checked whether precision works, but apparently forgot to check whether lack of magical does not work with option checked.

I've published a fix for that.

New version, with optimized [tunnel] is on add-ons server. Also should no longer duplicate the advancement option.
