Heavenfall you are indeed correct, <PerTurn> makes the fear ability work as stated.

Hey Derek, I bought the Quests DLC Pack and find that the new Assassin clothing is unusable by a lot of the Champions.  Not a deal breaker, but it is mildly annoying / inconvenient.

Steam has not (yet) updated my client to 1.3, so what I can contribute here may be outdated by now.

bugs galore:

In my 2nd to last game I had a hero get stuck on the map. I could right click a destination, but it would wipe immediately and he did not move. The problem persisted past a reload. I have saved a save-game file for this, if support is interested.

I have trouble with the (newer) tactical map that's basically a tree-lined corridor on green terrain. The second-from-bottom grid square along the right edge cannot be targeted by ranged (magic or archery) attacks. The AI seems to exploit this, too 

Similarly I have trouble occasionally with the new tactical map that has relatively open areas top and bottom and a hill lined canyon connecting them. Trying to move troups into position, particularly along the left edge often results in no movement or movement to an unintended map square. Zooming in and out can fix the movement targeting problem, but doesn't always do so. Selecting an enemy to attack can circumvent this, but can lead to unwanted results (i.e. the unit attacking from an unfavourable position that exposes it hugely. nb: I play in 2560x1600 ... not sure if that has a bearing on this.

I have had problems with my champion not being able to move or act on the first combat turn in  a couple of battles. Only pass was an option that actually allowed the battle to proceed. This seems extremely rare though. On the other hand, I've had it happen to a 'mundane' unit also, on one occasion.

On one occasion a city of mine on a green plain area near an icy area was given the opportunity to build a pier and subsequent improvements, despite no river being near by. Sadly I finished that game last week and didn't think to preserve a save-game file.

One balance issues: I feel that skeletons are way OP compared to the experience they give, or vice versa. They are both hard to damage and hard hitting for most of my troups, yet yield very little xp.

Agreed.  Not only most sovereigns/champions can't use them, but the new assassin gear is hogging literally HALF of the goodie huts I come across.  It would be one thing if new useless gear was popping up on occasion, but it's officially taken over my game.

It's my only issue regarding the DLC (love it otherwise), but in my expereience this is a rather massive problem.  I sincerely hope both the goodie hut frequency and usefulness of the new assassin armor is addressed (at least to some extent) in the next update.  Otherwise, I'd slightly regret buying this DLC.

Ive checked all the sovereigns and they can all wear the assassin's gear in my tests.  There are some special champions that cant wear it (Ascian, the Golem, etc).  But that is intentional (they can't wear other armor either).  If someone has a save game with a sovereign/champion that can wear other armor but not the Assassin's armor I'd love to check it out.

As for rariety is the same frequency as other common pieces of dropped loot.  Though of course the magic of the RNG is that true randomness is clumpy, especially on small samples (random and evenly distributes are very different things).  But I am going to drop the liklihood a little bit so they are a little less common.

All my sovs can wear the assassin gear. Champion Bonanza mod active and all of them can wear the armor too.

Only ones that can't are champs like Tautha.

Thanks for your consideration, Derek. 

I will add that all sovereigns I've tried have been custom and of custom factions, but all of them from human vanilla races.  Some can equip the assassin gear, some cannot.  Since all of them can wear any other kind of armor, I can certainly upload a save when I get a chance.  I suppose this could be mod-related, but I've never had an issue with armor not working before.  Just glad I'm not the only one with this issue. 

Yeah, I'm unable to repro with custom factions/sovereign either.  But if you are using a mod that introduces new UnitModelTypes then it could have problems with the new armor (correctly all armor would have problems with unitmodeltypes it wasnt configured to use, but modders may have added their new unitmodeltypes to the other armor).

That sounds sensible, I got two new cuirasses within 100 turns of starting a new game, which seems a bit OTT. I assume this is just the random number generator having fun, but even so, Common is probably a bit much.

Ah great, finally no more useless AI spellcasting on units that are immune to certain magic types.

Can we get some news about something really awesome?

I'm bored. 

That looks very... very familiar I do like these changes, the AI will start to become scary.

Did you fix the Fear spell, adding the (<PerTurn>1</PerTurn>) tag in the .xml?

The AI was already starting to get pretty good... now I'm getting scared.  Next you'll be telling me that:

a ) the AI will priortize training mounted units so that I can't cast Pull of the Earth on them.

b ) the AI will actually build the Forge of the Overlord and cast the Spell of Making.

c ) the AI will start using the Infection spell with Blind, Slow, Graveseal, etc.

Thanks, I steal from the best people!  Btw on some of those of yours that I was looking through I noticed that sometimes you use TargetIsWorthy instead of IsTargetWorthy.  That first way won't work.

Thanks, I fixed my files, but I'm not sure if I need to if it is going to be part of the main game
