Global Enchantments

tratorix · #1 January 3rd, 2012, 05:20 PM

Quick question, has anyone ever seen a global enchantment just straight up fail to take effect? In one of my multiplayer games I tried to cast Well of Misery and was told it was overpowered by an existing enchantment, but there are only 4 globals up and none of them are Well of Misery.

This is theoretically possible. Basically, what would have to happen is that someone put up a global, you put up a Well that didn't take effect, and a Dispel went off and took the first one out, all on the same turn. Otherwise, it's probably a bug, and not one I've ever seen.

I've actually seen this happen. pretty weird coincidence

One of the mages that put up a global could also have died. It happens sometimes. But it is weird.

I think I know what happened, o it must have tried to overpower a global, failed, and then a different global got dispelled. Which is still weird because I thought weak globals would be the first ones targeted and I know at least 3 of the globals up wouldn't have withstood it.

If you have save turn before & after, are there exactly the same 4 globals up (by the same ppl) the turn before as the turn after?

I don't think this is true, but if it is i'd like to know it.

Never heard of this before also. So I doubt it is true.

That also checks out, and is probably somewhat more likely. Still, the described scenario isn't one likely to show up often.

I hate when my enchantments fail. Sometimes I'll even duplicate the turn file in case it does. All those gems wasted!
