Last post by maldaye - March 26, 2021, 07:57:36 AMInteresting, I had the same problem in my first air mage save didn't even realize it was actually a bug! I gave up on the save instead, that means I can play air mage again. Thank God I'm locked in quarantine in my property in Turkey for two weeks which means I can enjoy the game without worrying about anything...

Technical & Bugs forum / Re: "My Retrieve spell failed ...
Last post by GameDevChris - February 20, 2021, 01:00:54 PMThanks for sending in the save and for reporting this glitch. Wow, that's quite the major oversight! I'm surprised the bug made it through beta testing and hasn't been reported by anyone else in over two years.
I've implemented a fix, which will be rolled out in the next patch. Normally, I'd simply get past the glitch, re-save the game, and send the save-game file back to you. But in this case, I'm actually using a newer development version of the AGS engine, and my save-games will not be backwards compatible with the older version of the game you're running. However, I've found a reliable way to bypass the issue. When targeting your Retrieve spell on Strof, make sure to position the mouse pointer at the very top of the red cap on his head. The bug causes the game to think you're targeting the crowd of goblins behind Strof, and it prioritizes them (they intercept the click). By targeting the mouse cursor well above the heads of the crowd and clicking only on Strof, that seems to work.
Let me know if that does the trick for you?

Last post by GameDevChris - February 20, 2021, 01:22:31 AMCould you email the savegame to support@himalayastudios.com and I'll take a look at it. (Instructions on how to do so are in the game's readme.txt file.)
Also, which Interface are you playing the game with?

Last post by baronsmoki - February 19, 2021, 05:06:37 PMAs an air mage, I'm trying to stop Strof's summoning ritual. I cast retrieve on him to try to grab the summoning book, and I got the chime sound & 2 XP, but I still get the same message that the spell failed to lock on.
I've tried casting it about 20 more times, and no luck. I'm assuming it's a bug because I'm getting the XP, but it does nothing. I'm completely stuck.

Last post by Blake00 - November 23, 2020, 05:45:23 AMBig update as I widened my search to get help from more communities out there and had some AWESOME responses from people so many thanks to everyone who's contacted me publicly and privately! I'm also starting to look more at newer Civilization games (4-6) and finding some good stuff. Someone pointed out that I should include a The Elder Scrolls (Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim etc) section and gave me several Civ scenarios for it I'd never heard of! I'm a huge TES fan so how could I say no! People also gave me some Warcraft scenarios so yup, we've got a new Warcraft section on the list too, hell maybe I should look at Starcraft while I'm at it too lol!
Note: Project links over in original CivFinatics thread (link in top post) as for some strange reason most forums don't like people coming in and posting 100s of offsite links lol.

Off-Topic Forum / Civilization Series Favourite ...
Last post by Blake00 - November 03, 2020, 04:45:47 AMHey guys 
I'm on the Hunt for big Civilization game series total conversion mods & scenarios with a particular focus on Civ2 & Civ3 (but am now expanding to Civ4, 5, 6 & spinoffs) relating to a whole bunch of my favourite fantasy & scifi movie/TV/gaming franchises (of course there's no bloody trace of any QFG related Civ mods sadly). Been posting in a few different Civ forums and getting great feedback, plus whenever someone has told me about an awesome scenario that's disappeared over the years I've managed to track it down and bring it back from the dead to CivFanatics/ModDB/InternetArchive hosting, so helping me has helped the community. Hell in some rare cases I've even filled a gap by making the scenario myself haha!
Anyway I figured it was finally time to hit some of the other communities out there for help too (since fans of Civ and these franchises are everywhere haha). Many have already been found so make sure you check my list in the link below BEFORE making suggestions to save yourself time & effort lol!
https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/scenario-hunt-mars-alphac-c-c-ra-dune-mom-col-moo-doom-b5-strek-swars-sgate-homm.657805/
At this stage I'm looking for Civ scenarios relating to...
- Mars / Lunar Colonization
- Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri (& other alien world colonization)
- Command & Conquer / Red Alert
- Dune / Arrakis
- Master of Magic
- Sid Meier's Colonization
- Master of Orion
- Heroes of Might & Magic
- Babylon 5
- Star Trek
- Star Wars
- Stargate
- Apocalypse (After WW3 / Fallout / Mad Max / Judge Dredd / Doom / Terminator / Zombies)
- Lord of the Rings
- Game of Thrones
- The Elder Scrolls
- Warcraft & Starcraft / Warhammer & W40k
- Final Fantasy
- Civilization Crossover Mods (Make a Civ game look like another Civ game)
If you're unable to help then that's fine, as maybe my list will still help you find something cool!
