Kristoffer's encouragement thread

Yup. That's up to JK. I have no idea of how much programming it would take. But generally I believe he is more inclined to add mod functions than changes in the game.

Regarding new icons, it would be a good thing to have an icon for communions which displays the boost to the magic levels, I think. For the masters and slaves, that you see how big their current boost to the magic levels due to the communions is.

The slaves level is raised for the purpose of fatigue. Is it raised for casting their own spells? (Assuming the master is not casting this round. Or casts after this slave.) That could make communions even more powerful.

If not simply showing the boost to magic levels would be confusing. It would make sense for the master, but a slave icon would be better for the slaves.


I would assume slaves don't share fatigue from spells cast by other slaves?

That's exactly what I mean with the communion icons thing. I don't suppose the slaves have any boost to their magic levels for casting without the communion, that wouldn't make sense.

Many things about communion don't make any sense to me.
I'll try to test that tonight.

[Kristoffer O]

Rather than expect icons for communion you can expect a fix so that slaves don't do stuff. Not that I can guarantee when this will happen, but it seems more relevant, and I'm not powerful enough to make a communion icon, as the effects are obscure .

[thejeff]

Well, slaves don't actually get a bonus to casting, which is good.

I have to admit, I like slaves being able to act (cast or attack) when no masters are using them, but having them act just because they go first doesn't make sense.

It would also be nice to see the master's current path levels.
