You were right. The window was just too big to display that tiny progress line at the bottom!
haha I can't believe it. Thanks.

I got some feed back from the Russian community.
They advise on two improvements that can be made on the Combat screen arrangement.
1. the two half dials are currently placed in the center of the right side which hides some of the central vision. They give 2 alternatives.
- remove one of the half dials with 3-square box nex to the ATB. Move the other dial to the top right corner.
- move one of the dials more to the top corner and the other more to the bottom corner.
2. They dont like that the icons in the dials are not the same size (spell book is too small compared to "Defense button").
I see that in the initial combat screen design dial distribution is actually the one they ask for. Check this pic from the front page.
Did anything got changed since then or the design gets altered if you change resolutions?

I don't want to change the button design, but i agree about the position of the jogdials, they somehow ended up in the middle and are taking unnecessary screen space.
the higher should go up a few cm and the lower can go down about 1 cm.
@Thgryphn: can you fix this and also can you send me that info about files that needed to be deleted? I think it is time we move towards uploading the fixed atb and the screen ratio patches.

Don't you think that it is good to have spellbook button same size as defend and wait button?
And proposed positioning is also, well, better?
I use hotkeys, so it isn’t big deal for me, but for every potential new player that is attracted by the mod?
Isn’t it better to have three nice equal buttons? Some players prefer mouse clicks over hotkeys.

the system buttons are used only once so they should be in the least important space of the screen
the design of the buttons is now beautiful and consistent, nobody complained about it for years, so no reason to make ugly square buttons now.

There's a problem with the newly defined pyre on new maps. Dwelling does not recognize ownership since new icon patch and there are no guard guarding the dwelling. Also, caravans cannot be established between the dwelling and the castle.

Interesting...
Caravans work in my case when I load your savegame, and it's clearly stating who the owner is with the appropriate banner (it's just that the banner is submerged inside the flames due to a technicality).
One thing though, it kept asking me if I'd like to convert the dwelling to my faction, which is normal (since it is a Neutral dwelling and cannot be converted) but felt buggy so I hope there was a way to change that.
Other than that, it works in my experience...
Edit: Plus, I did have to fight 4 Phoenixes to flag the blue's Magic Pyre.

I believe Call Lighting text should be edited because currently what it says is halfway relevant for the Melee Titan. Also as this is ability and not spell I belive it will be good to provide damage formula inside the text.
Quote:
Creature fires a lightning bolt causing magical damage to selected target. Can be used for ranged attack when regular shooting attack is impossible or will only cause reduced damage (activated ability).
Quote:
Creature fires a lightning bolt causing magical damage to selected target. Can be used as a ranged attack. It causes direct damage equals to 40*Titan stack size (activated ability).
As I am creating the option to present creature spells I wonder what are the creatures like Titan whose spell is actually an ability that causes physical damage qualify for?
This is very important as I want to tie the creature spells with the spell database I have arranged.
Eventually, I believe the best way is to consider "Casters" as the one with mana to spend. All other skills and abilities will be left in the Abilities section.

I approve this message
And, you are right, we should put in the damage formula for all creatures with a magical, non-spell damage.
Horned Overseer first comes to mind with its explosion.
Others I believe are:
Storm Titan with Stormcaller (damage and duration)
Nightmare with the Searing Aura
Banshee with the Death Wail
Lava Dragon with the Liquid Flame Breath (damage and duration of the firewall)
Flamelord with the Flamestrike (damage and how the damage propagates)
Assassin, Stalker and Manticore with the Poisonous Attack
Magma Dragon with Magma Shield (damage calculation)
Fire Elemental and Phoenix with Fire Shield (damage calculation)
Foul Wyvern with Venom
Also, Pit Lord's Vorpal Sword and Wraith's Harm Touch descriptions should be improved to say instead of "kill at least one unit", "in addition to the regular damage, it kills exactly one unit".
I would also like to see more detailed in-game info on:
Spectre's Mana Drain
Archangel's Resurrect Allies
Archdevil's Pit Lord Summoning
Dryad's Symbiosis
Master Hunter's Warding Arrows (ATB impact)
Crystal Dragon's Prismatic Breath (do all affected creatures get the same damage, or is there a formula?)
Master Gremlin's Repair
Rune Priest and upgrades' Mark of Fire (duration)
Thunder Thane's Storm Strike (how the damage propagates)
Warlord's Command Other (initiative impact and damage inflicted)
Cyclops' Swallow Goblin (healing amount)
I don't know if I missed anything...
