[0.952] Custom faction with Binding ability will be unable to use spiders unless Wraith

from Elemental Forums

When the faction trait Binding is used with a custom faction, there is a problem with being able to use the spiders. The spiders will only be useable by a Wraith faction.

The reason is the spiders have this

<IsStartingUnitType>1</IsStartingUnitType>
End of quote

and they are of course found in the wraith racetype:

        <StartingUnitType>Unit_BoundHarridan</StartingUnitType>
        <StartingUnitType>Unit_BoundHoarder</StartingUnitType>
        <StartingUnitType>Unit_BoundWidow</StartingUnitType>
End of quote

 

Solution: Simply remove the <IsStartingUnitType>1</IsStartingUnitType> from the spider units and the wraith racetype. The spiders will still only be available to factions with the Binding trait.

 

 

 

 

In addition, the Black Quire tech required to unlock the last spider unit has this

        <Prereq>
            <Type>Allegiance</Type>
            <Attribute>Empire</Attribute>
        </Prereq>
End of quote

so it is not possible to get it for kingdoms. Perhaps move the unit to a shared tech?

Also a very minor bug which is probably not worth fixing, but the special shard buildings for the "Binding" demons don't show up under "Unique improvements" for a faction that has selected it. I am talking about this part: http://i.snag.gy/dD2Eu.jpg
