I didn't see it in the list. Anyone know if it was fixed? It looked like an easy fix, I think someone even posted the programming fix.
no one will respond to this, so im guessing no.
it did not fix this issue
There's a mod which fixes it though, here.
One of the devs said in chat last night, if I remember correctly, that fixing it caused a slew of new problems, and since magic is being overhauled for 1.1 anyway, they're not going to spend time trying.
Ahh cool! Thanks for the info.
Somebody on the journal thread about the new patch said it did fix this issue. He said he was hitting folks for 140 damage with fireball. He had five fire shards. Can anyone confirm it does or does not work?
Actually, I didn't have any shards in my game last night, so I don't really know for sure. It wasn't in the patch notes though.
140 seems a lot
Welcome to math, SD style - 140 could very well be accurate.
I suspect the comments above were referring to me - I am finishing up a save game from when shards would randomly spawn so I have lots of shards. My sov has like 84 essence and fireball can do somewhere around 160dmg (according to the spell tab).
I amended my comment in the thread, though, because I haven't seen him do 160 but he has done more damage per shot than in 1.06. The AoE spell (Infernal?) often hits for 20+ dmg and I never had that happen before. Maybe it's just that attack/defense has been changed and it's made spells more potent?
In any case, when I started up the game in 1.07 I didn't have any fire shards (had some in my territory, but was holding off to not annoy the AI with "has all the shards"), so when I grabbed my first fire shard and went into combat it appeared to be applying due to that raised damage. Now that it's up to a potential around 160 and it's still maxing out in the 20s, I have to take back my statement.
[Edit]
Although I just did 86 points of damage with a child and she's only got 28 int, so something is definitely different.
I tested a new game, with single Air Shard, and my Lightning Strike never did more then 15 damage (my Int number), so no 1.07 didn't fixed this. At least not properly.
Still, as shown in one of the threads with proper fix, main reason why fix is not working is that game doesn't know, when doing damage, from whom to pull [UnitStat_NumFireShards] value. So if there is actually damage that gets over Int value of the caster, it's quite possible that game is using enemy shard number instead of player one.
