Number of spells and the Spellbook UI

and some other minor stuff

Spellbook UI

with some simple step we can improve the browsing of spells and researching

ee3

when clicking on the tabs it should only display the spells in the category to reduce the mess

Technology tip

When we move our cursor over something like the manastery it should give us some more information like how many turns to build etc

Shame on you, you didn't put Dominions 3!

Out of the box 687 spells. Plus those of the new nations and those added in various mods, the reesult was the following change by the developpers:

22nd July 2010
* Modding: Maximum number of spells increased from 1200 to 2000.

But the real issue with spells in Elemental isn't the number but the variety.

There's a direct attack spell in each school. Since each predesigned sovereign has access to all the elemental schools, it means they have 4 times the same spell. Oh, wait, there are elemental resistances... Mmm. You're probably set with 2 spells, not the four of them.

 

Brad said he knew the UI for spells and the spells themselves need work. I don't think we will see the new version before the release, though, so I think this may still change in a patch afterwards.

I'm actually playing Dominions 3 right now in anticipation of elemental... talk out just one more turn, that game is like crack for TBS fans like me...

The Dom3 spellbook is quite monstrous and best of all the spells are unique and each of the spellbooks are very different from each other. 

Can someone from Stardock (Brad?) please give us an update on what the plans for the spellbook are for the 0 day release?  There were a lot of great suggestions in the earlier spell request thread, are we going to see some of those go in?  Please tell me we're going to see a decent size spellbook upon release... because what we have now just isn't going to cut it....
