chaos desert is unbelievebly overpowered, they swarm me with the attacks, i had five hundred health and they took out half my health, they get to attack too many times, and the stacking thing just makes them kill me in one turn, the only ones no class i tried could kill. tone down some of their abilities, because it was impossible for me to kill one.

Burn doesn't work

if you click play before the advertisement loads it glitches out

I think I've found a bug or maybe just wrong text... I played as a white mage, made it to the very end, AND reached rank #1 mage. I won the last battle. After the battle, battlebeard supposedly melts away. But after I choose to spare the other two guy's lives, they say they are electing battlebeard as the new High Mage. First off...battlebeard just died...is his ghost gonna be the high mage? And as rank 1, shouldn't I be elected the new high mage instead of the white mage?

Incredibly fun game overall though.

Thanks for the bug reports.
Version 1.08
Fixed White Mage last battle: White Mage will become the great mage after the battle. I linked it to the wrong event.
Fixed advertisement glitch.

benjitenji: I have double-checked Burn effect of burning hill mages to make sure it works. Also I tested to play and fight against Chaos desert mage. Yes they are not easy to fight against but with clan special spells such as Absorb Damage(great sea), Decrease Special(Poison), Freeze Attack or Defend(Ice), increase Special+Mana Attack(burning hill) and silence(dark wood), they can be defeated. I agree Burning Hill mages are weaker against chaos mages and requires more skills to win. Perhaps I'll mark Burning Hill as "difficult level".

It's a great game, but there's some small glitches.
I found that when you are training there's is some spells wich takes less skills points to train than what is showed on the description(the basic atacking bolts), also it appears that I win the young mage contest without participating.

In the end I was appointed by soundighorn to be great mage and had a "god" reputation, but still it said that I was a tyrant and killed those who opposed the white robes.

I wonder if that is glitch or you haven't made a final for that yet.

luckas: at the end of the final battle did you kill the black robe leaders or spare their lives?

For the "Ring of All Rings," The special increase is applied on the first round of combat (before the player moves) even though the normal +10 special increase (purposefully) doesn't go into effect. I'm guessing that this is a bug.

hi, thanks for another great game guys - i was (and still am) a big fan of Book of Mages 1.

One small request with this game (not a bug, just a request), I want to be able to control how much power I put into each attack (& defence):
i.e. if I have 10 points in Low Attack, I want to be able to attack with less than maximum power (e.g. 5 or 6 points etc). Also, if I have 10 points in High Defence, but the mage that I am fighting only has a few points in High Attack, I want to be able to spend less points on High Defence (e.g. 3 or 4 points etc) to conserve mana.

Hope this isn't too complicated. If it is, don't worry, its still a great game. Thanks again for making part 2 and have a happy new year!

I think I found another bug. I fought Soundinghorn for the great mage election and killed him, after that I lost for Treefire. In the end Wetanger said that Treefire died and somebody was elected. But Wetanger also said that Soundinghorn just saved somebody's after I killed him.

There's another thing wrong for me, because if I'm not wrong, Treefire wasn't the elected great mage, It was Corpsedusk or Skullgrill, the ones who killed Battlebeard.

Just to be Specific that was the story where you tries to help Battlebeard to cure himself but get nailed by the poison mages and run away, having a bounty on your head later.

Hi there kratos340, yes it is a bug sorry about it, got it fixed.

Version 1.10
Fixed Freeze Defend minus mana twice bug.
Fixed Ending story for neutral mages who attend Great Mage Election.
Fixed a few story related bugs.
Fixed Young mage contest announcement (previously if you never attend, town crier will announce player as winner)

Thanks lucas and kratos340 for the bug reports.

andyandy: thanks for the suggestion :). When I designed the combat system I was thinking player can control amount of power to use too! However I find it too complicated(the combat system is already complex enough), player might find the whole game too confusing, so I took out this feature. Also I think it allows player to consider more when training: player has to decide whether to go for "finish enemy fast with high power" or "lower damage but reserve more mana to last longer in battle".

Well i think the Sea Clan sucks ?

I tried to be them and when do i get special ? never ... i got 10 in everything , 10 in power , great hp and very much mana but my enemy does 13 bolts or like that so i cannot beat them ... i lost young mage contest and i lost when i searched for mages when i joined black robe clan.

I think you should make this race more powered ? please answer.
