Army Builder Crashing Bug With Warriors of Chaos

Helvegr · August 27th, 2009, 08:34 PM

Hi, not sure if this is a data file bug or not, but I can easily reproduce it.

If you add a Chaos Sorcerer, you'll see options to add the different lores of magic to the list. If you then select the Book of Secrets from the Enchanted Items list, you'll see most of the spells replicate.

Selecting Add All Spells from one of these, causes AB to crash.

This works the other way around as well. If you Select All Spells from a lore, then add the Book of Secrets, AB will crash.

The Datafile crashes because there are dublette Lores choices ... A pre-link check or something like it should be the answer to fix it ... now we just wait and see when that is ... time .. :P

But why give a sorcerer a book of secrets?

Army Builder and many players of my acquaintance interpret the item as granting an extra magic level when given to a sorcerer. As well as giving a casting dice and an extra spell this has the benefit of allowing the model to use more dice to cast any individual spell.

This seems like a reasonable interpretation, since the FAQ says it turns warriors into wizards and allows duplicate spells. As a Tzeentch player I'd have a lot to gain when trying to open an Infernal Gateway with a Hero level sorc... but I'd really like to see it specified in the FAQ before using it.

Only think I can see u get is a extra power dice and know a extra spell from Shadow, Fire or Death and you miscast is changed to 1d6+1 ... cant see any reason that you can have duplicate spells....

The way I read it is you just have access to the other lores as well as your own (being a Tzeentch player as well).

Just curious if anybody has a fix for this problem?. I've tried to play around with the file but I can't figure it out.

Might have to wait for next update which should be Skaven data file sometime in Dec if current policy of waiting a month after armybook release is still in effect.

Ya. I was hoping that someone might have fixed it on their own.
