[0.85 Bug] Torch Bearer

from Elemental Forums

Playing Altar after researching "Heroes" the "Torch Bearer" doesn't show up in production menu (the other heroes are fine). So I had another look at the research window: The mouseover for the Torch Bearer does show "Attack: 0". So maybe one of the resent changes made this unit invalid.

It's a small bug though.

torchbearer is the guy with the fire staff, i think. do you have the enchantment tech that unlocks fire staffs (and other items) ?

Sooo... you are absolutely right about their being a problem. When they set up the two magic staff tracks they didn't update the unit upgrade stats. That is

        <EquipmentUpgradeDef>
            <EquipmentSlot>Weapon</EquipmentSlot>
            <WeaponUpgradeType>MagicStaff</WeaponUpgradeType>
            <EquipmentSlot>Defense</EquipmentSlot>
            <SelectionCriteria>MaximizeSum</SelectionCriteria>
            <ComparisonAttribute>UnitStat_Attack_Fire</ComparisonAttribute>
        </EquipmentUpgradeDef>

when this should say

        <EquipmentUpgradeDef>
             <EquipmentSlot>Weapon</EquipmentSlot>
             <WeaponUpgradeType>FireStaff</WeaponUpgradeType>
             <EquipmentSlot>Defense</EquipmentSlot>
             <SelectionCriteria>MaximizeSum</SelectionCriteria>
            <ComparisonAttribute>UnitStat_Attack_Fire</ComparisonAttribute>
         </EquipmentUpgradeDef>

This happens to all the units that utilize the magic staffs. For me to distribute this fix I'd have to post the coreUnits.xml, but that is not gonna be pleasant.

There are quite a few AI only units that use magic staffs, so I'm thinking they need to be adjusted as well.

I guess my answer is late, for parrottmath allready found the problem, but anyway: Yes, "Incidation staff" is researched, no can't build mages either.
