Far casting Bless

[Hully]

Hi, Sorry if this has already been posted.

Tutha sorceress, and all of my blessable units.

Basic Precision 13
Bless Bonus +4
Magic Bonus +5
Current 11

Experience precision is being added correctly.

Should be 22! This bug is occurring across all of my blessable units, irrespective of their equipment. Far Casting seems to be working in reverse!!!

It's year 5, and this was working perfectly up until now, although its possible it may have been going on for a couple of turns.

Globals: Perpetual Storm, Mother Oak

Bless: 4x Precision, Minor Magic Resistance, Far Caster.

Also, Far Cast Bless, as their is already a symbol for far casting, see Water Lens +25% Combat Casting, could we please have this added to the abilities list for units when the Far Cast Bless is active thanks.

Thank you for D5, wondered about upgrading from 4 but so happy I did.

It's the perpetual storm halving everyone's precision.

Does it not show the far cast bless when you clicky on the sacred icon in battle?

[Hully]

No it does not show Far Cast Bless icon in battle.

It's the Storm thing then, that seems a bit odd. Why would a storm impact on the accuracy of a Magic Spell? hmm I suppose a lot of spells literally fly through the air... and things where going so well.

That's just completly scewed with my entire bless strategy.

The plan was to power the low level sacred mages with Far Cast (50%+ combat range for spells)+Precision+4 and then cast Eagle eye or the air equivalent.

This was taking them to around 22+ precision, then just fielding lots and lots of cheap sacred spell casters. Must say they where, proving to be very effective!

I suppose the only anwser is to check out every throne and take out throne of Storms, wow just wow!

[Mormacil]

The Storm effect of the throne only lasts a few months/turns and only the first time it's captured. Perpetual Storm is a global enchantment and will last till dispelled or the caster is dead.
Darkness, Storm and Mist all impact precision. While IIRC Storm also removes half of the mundane projectiles.

[Hully]

Ok, thanks, Throne effect a few months can live with that no problem. Perpetual storm can be dispell, right, have plenty of gems, still don't want to waste them, it's the old how many extra did they put into it!

So maybe not a completly silly build after all, and the scales are great.

Bless: Precision x4, magic resistance x1,Far Caster.

Magic:Air x4, Earth x1, Astral x5 Great Enchantress

Scales:Dominion x5, Cold x1, Growth x3, Luck x3, Magic x1


Thank you.

You have strong air mages and there are storms up. With your precision bless, you probably have the only mages out there who aren’t regularly destroying their own troops by accident.

So... script in Storm Power and spam Thunderstrike like it’s going out of fashion. The extra volume of fire you’re getting should compensate for the loss in precision against large armies.

And try to get some air elementals in army (one of air queen can summon them) or spring hawks. Even combat summon will work.

Because in storm only few flyers able to fly (who have special storm fly ability) - it's very nice be able to attack enemy rear while they unable to do same.

Yes I understand what you are all saying and it is appreciated but... A lot of what you are saying is late mid game for me, I tend to play on large maps 400+ all nations slow research, your looking at 5 years+ for a Queen.

The thing is Storms basicly break my bless strategy, so they either have to go, or i need a new stratergy!
