Barbarian doesn't bless?

[KGB]

Game 22062 - Darklords11.

At L2 I took StrengthX2 then went over a bless site. Next turn I looked and realized I only had 46 strength. I thought maybe I just pathed straight over and didn't stop so I went back to the bless site. It tells me I am already blessed.

My Barbarian is now L3 and took StrengthX2 at L3 and has a strength of 62 (30+4*8). He should have 67.

Bug found and fixed.
It was only affecting highlevel Barbarians though

Back to this one for another report.

I bless my Barbarian at L1 to 35 strength. I then take strengthx2 and L2 and L3 to reach at total of 63 strength at L3. Now at L4, I take strength one more time expecting to reach 70. However I get capped out at 65.

However if I blessed in the other order (after I take my strength upgrades to reach 65 at L4) I can reach 70.

The annoying thing now is that the game already thinks I am blessed and so probably won't let me bless again. Game 28386 (Darklords32) in case the bless can be manually removed or his strength manually set to 70.

I've noticed this with all the heroes and all the bless features. If you bless your hero before maxing out the skill he can't exceed his max, this goes for movement and UL as well. If you wait until you max out the skill you can exceed max.

I think the max will have to be reapplied as a max number of strength purchases, instead of a max strength number. That should fix the problem quite quickly and easily. You can say something like "Strength+5, 0/5 (45 max)" for clarity. Counter would work just like the counter for Construction or Pathfinding.

Coming back to this bug.

Are there any plans to fix this? As Smursh noted, I have run into the move part of it with other heroes in addition to the strength part of it with the Barbarian.

LPhillips suggestion of replacing the cap with a maximum number of upgrades is the ideal solution.

Ah, I didnt know this was such a pain
Ill see if I can squeeze it into 0.91 release

It happens more than you think. Especially with the Barbarian because you want to max out his strength early and if you happen by a bless site you have to actively avoid it if you ever want to reach 70 strength.

I find it happening more often now on the movement on higher level heroes (L7+) when I start to value more movement over other stack skills since I want my hero keeping up with my best units.

yeah I've seen this too with the move temple. In fact, I now make a point to level up my moves before getting blessed.

I would love to see this get fixed as well. The temple should always give the bonus, whether or not the hero has maxed out his moves or strength.

I always thought this was done on purpose and thus delayed the blessings for my heroes.

However, I agree that is annoying, especially since one could not determine whether a hero was blessed or not. Fortunately, since v0.9 gold member see which blessings a unit received - so then again, it ought to be simple to fix this behaviour to a more comfortable one (i.e. one where bless order does not matter).
