Universal Spells

Before I claim this as a bug, if you customize a leader, are you not supposed to be able to research the Universal spells? For those wondering, Universal spells are Heal, Cloud Walk, Summon Ship, Courage, and Reduce Doomsday. I thought maybe, just maybe, that not getting Universal spells might be a price you have to pay for customizing a leader so I figured I'd better ask before reporting it as a bug.

All sovereigns, whether Customized or Core, should be getting the 'universal' spells as research options. If Heal, Cloud Walk, etc never come up as research options when playing a custom sov, then that's definitely a bug (though I swear I've seen them pop up when playing custom...)

Played a game this morning using custom sovereign and never got the universal spells.

I always play as a custom and those spells are NEVER an option.  It's DEFINITELY 100% a bug!

I tweak the spellbook selection, but you're saying that shouldn't affect it.

 

CONFIRMED - it's a bug with the customized sovereign.  I went back to the default and I got them right off the bat.  One thing I also saw was a display that asks you some questions and I got +1 persaussion and some bandit troops... that was cool.  I never saw that playing the custom.

I know i have seen cloud w and heal.  does someone know the whole list?

According to the xml:

  • Cloud Walk
  • Courage
  • Harvest Mountain
  • Harvest Forest
  • Heal
  • Reduce Doomsday
  • Restore Land
  • Summon Ship

"Place Road" is not an universal spell even while i would like it to be one.

I can confirm that in 10 games I started and played for about 10 minutes each, 2 times I had the stock Warlord and got the spells.  In the other 8, I did various combinations of spellbooks and NEVER got ANY of those spells as options.  And I put EVERYTHING in to research to test.
