As a forewarning I need to do a bit more testing abut the specifics, lacking the willpower to make a linux partition is part of it, so if you can confirm/refute the latter part then please do. As I have mentioned to a few people, the Innate Spellcaster ability allows mages to cast whilst bing a communion slave, which for most nations is potentially their non-astral pretender only. However all Nazcan mummies havve this ability. This also lets them simultaniously be communion slaves and masters, so 8 mummies with at least S1 or both master/slave matrixes all get +3 pathboost to all as well as sharing personal buff. The downside is that it appears they ignore scripting if the turn is processed on windows, but if the turn is processed on linux (which llamaserver uses) they do seem to follow the script (this is the bit I'd like more confirmation on as my only current Ma Nazca game I'm not really able to test due to... circumstances). |

That is really interesting, since even if it's an unintended mechanic that is fun to use, it's no good if it works differently on different systems. Have you e-mailed the devs about it yet? |

I haven't, I wasn't sure what the correct procedure was for such things. |

I think info@illwinter.com is their official e-mail, and given how small the community is, I imagine that they're likely to answer. |

yeah definitely email illwinter, the orders going through only on linux is very weird and it wouldn't surprise me if innate spellcasters having the ability to be masters and slaves at the same time is unintended. |

In the case of the 2-in-1 mummies Nazca uses it sort of makes sense that they could be master and slave together. However, I suspect this is unintended anyway. |

Seems intentional, as for me. 1 half acts a a slave if you chose to, another - casts. How is it more cost effective then having Coyas as slaves? |

All the masters benefit from self-buffs one master casts, which is pretty nifty. |

Wouldn't it be better to report this on Steam rather than send a mail? |

I will be able to make the test (on linux) as soon as I will have 10 minute to catch my breath. |

I hope this is intentional, sounds like Nascar mummies could get up to some intresting stuff. |

I can confirm that under linux, the scripted spell fire perfectly well. |

Thank you very much for testing it, though it would have been nigh impossibly lucky that they chose the exact right sells in the few turns I used them on Llama I was not 100% sure. |

I've been testing it on linux and once they are master and slave at the same time they don't follow any script and even being only master they cast the scripted spell and something random in one battle round. Is that a bug? |

OK but are we certain they aren't firing but not showing it under Windows? |
