Unique Magic Artifacts...

Lord Hammer · #1 December 13th, 2003, 07:05 AM

How does one come across these? I have made an artifact or two but they are always the same for each race. Do i need to make it in a special place? After researching x,y and z? Any help would be appreciated...there is SO much to do and experience...incredible

All items can be forged by all races. Unique artifacts are unique because there can be only one copy present at any time in a game, they are not race-specific. As with all other items, ou need to have the required magic skill on your commander to forge the item. And, of course, you need to have construction 8 researched before you can forge them. Is this what you;re asking?

Ah Ha! Thanks, although the manual lists construction levels in odd numbers...it makes sense. If you want better items you need to research their construction...Thanks!!!

That's because even numbers are reserved for various levels of item construction.

Some items can only be used (forged?) by one race. Ermorian laurels (not an artefact), or Jade mask (C'tis unique artefact). What would be cool is too have more of these specialties artefacts, giving unique advantages to each race.

Perhaps in a future mod we can alterate items properties?

They can be forged by anyone (at least black laurel).
