Mana Regeneration. Help!!!!!!!!!!

from Stardock Forums

Please, Please, Please!  This game desperately needs a mana potion or a way to regenerate mana quickly.  Otherwise it's deadly tedium.

There is a potion you can get when accept a quest that regens mana. I tend to use offspring to run offensive armies because they regen mana during tactical battles. This especially works well if you have selected intimidation for your Sov. Enemies panic, lose turn, and offspring can regen to full mana.

The Mana system is going 'global' shortly.  If I understand this right, ALL of your spellcasters will draw from the same Mana pool.  I'd imagine that it will regenerate a little faster than 1 Mana a turn. 

 

In the meantime, be thankful that your children have regenerating Mana in combat (unless that changed recently)!

That's an awfully long time to wait in a game for an offspring that regenerates mana.  Just give us a potion.  If there's an issue with this, then charge an exhorbitant fee for it.  Alternatively, allow for mana regeneration in a friendly town after a certain building is researched and built.

This will cause shards to provide mana regeneration. Be sure to delete the file after 1.10 comes out.

Here's what you're looking for:

Essence Rune Mod

 

Right click and save link as... put it into your mods folder. Check the "Use Mods" option in game if you have it off. Start a new game to enjoy your MP pots.

 

From Mod Header:

<!--
Essence Rune Mod [REL - Release version]
 
 The mod copies the Essence Tablet that you can get from quests, and makes it buyable in cities lv2 and above for 100 gildar. In other words, you can buy mp pots that restore 10 mp for 100 Gold from your cities. Have fun.
