Nope, it won't finalize the command, it says - "You cannot Wish for that.". Then you get to try to issue orders again.

He means the log file you get when you turn the -d -dd or -ddd switch on the command line.

The Debug Console sounds like something else. At least I can't see disco lights in my log file.

Yes, the host is able to generate log files for all the battles that happen in a turn, and the players can see the same debug info if they look at the battle report with debugging turned on. But you can't watch battles as a player that you don't have battle reports for.

In SP gaming, since you're the host, you can see the battles happening in the log files, but that's not really very useful to understand what happened. The proposed Watcher nation mod which nobody so far bothered to complete would allow to see them. Or if you can, just cast the "Eyes of God" global.

The Debug Console thing that I wrote about is a developer tool built into Dom3. It features a basic battle simulator, which isn't terribly useful, just for testing out abilities and weapons on multiple units.

If Eyes of God let you see fights, I would cast it all the time. But when I've cast it in the past I don't think it did.

Attached is a screenshot what a battle in the Void would look like. There are colored glowing spheres, or blobs, which keep growing until they burst and vanish into dust. The units are fighting under the special battle condition "Dimension Overload" which halves their Att, Def, Prec and MR. There's a special icon for it.

Do the various devil types get a bonus to return from the appropriate hells? It seems to me that, for example, an Ice Devil sent to Cocytos shouldn't have too hard a time of it.

[lch]

Devils don't have a bonus, but Arch Devils have a 100% chance to return from Inferno and Ice Devils have the same for Cocytos. The wielder of the Tome of the Lower Planes has a 50% chance to escape from them each turn.
