Joe's Spellkiller Thread - Dominions 4: Thrones of Ascension

I created a really simple mod that disables the spells Phatasmal Warrior and Ghost Wolves so AI casters wont waste their turns on them. Lemme know if it works, if there are any other spells I should consider adding. Just dump the Tga and DM files in your roving mod folder in appdata.

-Update- Added holy avenger and the spell songs the AI spam
casts with no targets in the area. Extended the reach of the song of bravery to 1/4 of the battlefield as a test. If its not OP and people like I'll do the other spellsongs that way since they are important to faction identity.

Current list of disabled spells ::
Phantasmal Warrior
Ghost Wolves
Resist poison
Poison Resistance
Soothing Song
Healing Song
Holy Avenger

Dont see the link, but I would really like to have this

Better now ?

Yes, thanks!

Updated the file to add a holy avenger and the spell songs the AI spam casts with no targets in the area. extended the reach of the moral +1 spellsong to 1/4 of the battlefield.

It'll be cool to stop AI spam of certain spelles, but having to remove them isn't very good, as they are useful - at least some of them!
Will it work to make a modded copy in addition to disabling the original spell ? Will the AI cast modded spells ?

They will, but you can make spells that the casting AI won't cast by playing around with #nextspell(iirc the spell that's actually cast doesn't do anything, so the AI won't cast it, but that spell #nextspells the one that actually does something.)

Thanks Admiral !
Not sure I've gotten everything, so could you pls give an example of using this "nextspell" command?

When I try to download the file from googledrive nothing happens. What's the trick?

Phantasmal Warrior is an awesome spell. I've won a lot of battles with it in a recent game.

Ghost wolves is plenty fine also.

Honestly I'd prefer if Ghost wolves and Phantasmal warrior scaled with the caster's ability instead of outright never casting those spells.
It would make those two spells way more useful for the AI and the players.

Dont forget they will often cast those spells when out of range for others.

Phantasmal Warrior would be broken as hell if it scaled.
