Well, I think it's silly that an ability that's supposed to be helpful is in fact detrimental. Further, Armageddon is supposed to be useable with Black Dragons, but if they lose their resistance to it, it's a complete waste of a spell. Pyrrhic vitories are seldom desireable.

Two bugs related to spellbook:
- the spells are not ordered by level (last spell learned is also last in your spellbook, even it's a l1 spell; thus making harder to locate certain spell in your book)
- you cannot see information about spells in your book outside battles (they appear gray in your spellbook and you cannot right-click on them to get more info).

add the 2000 gold of the cityhalls, and you will get the desired 4000

ed.
the city hall is actually town hall
I don't why is it separated, maybe because you can have only one capitol
warning! there might be documented features in Heroes V

The description seem to imply that it does.
Frenzied stack considers all other creatures and war machines its personal enemies and attacks the nearest one with redoubled rage.

So another case of uninformative description?*sigh*!

But why did it cast on his assassins then(Ive mentioned this once before),when the closest creature was his?

Same reason it casts AoE spells on his own creatures. He's a tactical genius.

The Init Penalty only works if you have the Summoning Magic skill, makingit rather useless for the Pixie/Sprite.

Only if you have around 20 of them, which kill triple that in melee.

Note: The Hero has 34 spellpower and is level 25
The distance is ridiculously small. You can walk futher with the half movement points it uses
Now I know that dimension door was overpowered but this spell is at the opposite side of the spectrum.
Does anyone know if it can be improved with a skill or is this it?
Hope they change it in the patch.
Would just like to add that the range of dimension door doesnt really matter. You use it to skip over neutral creatures, guarded gates, keymaster "doors" and so on.

Multiplayer LAN bug

If player kills computer player, the other human player sees this already killed computer player as it was alive and doing its turn for infinity. Does anyone have the same problem?

I've played the Triumverate several times now, run over to godric, release, no scene, no tick for objective.. restart.

had earlier maps where this happened, but a restart got the game going, I've restarted this one several times. I've done it where I clear everything out along the way, touch nothing but free godric. I've even taken over all the haven cities then fried him.. nada.

And if my main dies, the game doesn't fail.

Are you getting the cut scene at the start of the map? If you don't, there's no point in continuing playing.

so I have now confirmed that the patch CAUSES this bug, at least in the european version.

I uninstalled, reinstalled, and it worked. Was all excited, redownloaded the patch, installed, loaded up.. same thing.

How in the world the patch breaks the campaign I don't know, but the scenerio only plays out if the patch isn't installed.
