    A Tactics-Mod bug be Fixed
    In the first one of the final battles of SOA, there is a Sword of Greed. The Sword of Greed can be killed by Death Magic spell, because its Gender value is SUMMONED. The death variable of a ceature killed by a Death Magic spell will not be set to TRUE. So The Sword of Greed will not be regarded as dead if you kill it with a Death Magic spell. And then you will be stuck in hell, because the second battle will never come.
    This is a Tactics-Mod bug, and I have reported it, but there is no reply. I don't want anyone of you stuck in hell, so I decided to fix the bug in my mod temporarily. If the next version Tactics Mod fix this bug, I will remove my fix from my mod.
    The fix is optional, it is in the "Others" pack.

    What Changed
    1> Paladin can no longer summon a Solar.
    2> Your caster class need at least 6M exp to summon a Solar/Fallen Solar.
    3> Smarter Deva, Planetar, Solar (Fallen or not).
    4> Your caster class need at least 4M exp to summon a Doom Guard, and at least 5M exp to summon a Marilith.
    5> Wizard Animate Dead is a little different with priest one.
    6> Random male/female gender of Deva, Planetar, Solar (Fallen or not).
    7> Really one Deva, Planetar, Solar (Fallen or not). Your projected image can no longer summon multiple angelic creatures.

    Really good job, fixing that Tactics bug, though I never encoutnered it before as I never thought the mighty Sword of Greed will fall to a simple Death Spell. Oh well...

    In any case, I like your mod. Sorry, I haven't installed the older version, a real shame on me! Your mod is in he top of the list of mods I will install next, don't worry. :thumb:

    I am dying to see all those summons and cool Finger of Death animation. That thing may be small but it means a lot to me. Does the animation only cover Finger of Death spell, or are similar effects (Wail of the Banshee, and any other insta-kill spells) affected as well?

    Ahh, and also..no more cheesy 20+ Planetars, right? This must be a good thing indeed! Thank you! Even I had promised not to use such evil tricks again, the power is tempting. With this excellent little mod I won't be able to use that stinking cheese even if I was desperate to do so! Nice!

    Yes, all the instant-kill spells has been affected, even when you click on a vampire coffin.

    Cool! I also have IWD casting graphics, and due to s spell pack, al area effect spells use IWD graphics as well, and this will really be welcomed. IWD spell graphics are more flashy and cool!

    If you have any advice about the mod when you play, just tell me. Any advice will be welcome.
