Fix the dueling

In Realm of Magic you used to win most duels if you have Master Duelist and Magical Resonance, but now you'll lost nine out ten times to Spellcaster that are clearly neophytes and you have the option to teach them.

What changed in the code to make this experience awful? I'll just lose until I get fully charged and then lose some more. This makes it no fun at all. As a virtuoso spellcaster with Magical Resonance and Master Duelist I should be battling the three teachers with success, let alone losing to brand new spellcasters.

    Age and treachery should always beat youth. Also am I the only person who'd like to see dueling amongst the different creatures? I'd love to see a Vampire vs Spellcaster and Fairy versus Spellcaster.  Vampire vs Werewolf is expected but Vampire vs Fairy might be fun

  • For that matter, why do my Spellcasters with all potion-related perks have at least a 50% fail rate when making potions?

    Lovely! 😆

    This would be fascinating.

    I have to say the vampire will kick some undead but(t) against any spell from a warlock or witch. I can come back later with details if you need. They are fallen angels turned into demons...I think...🙂

    Witches do have powers that can shield and protect them from their enemies...but their strength can only last so long and those shields can be penetrated.

    I second that. I have a couple of spellcasters, and when I created the first one about two years ago on my current save, she was able to win a few duels yet never completed the aspiration because duels won before the prompt to win 3 duels shows up don't count.

    Anyway, fast forward to present day. By now, I have eight spellcasters in my save. The first one is pretty powerful in terms of rank but not in terms of spells and potions. Her husband and two best friends are much weaker, one of her daughters and one of her sons aren't all that powerful either. I also created two new ones, both following the spellcaster aspiration. One of them is now at the point where he has to win three duels. He knows almost all spells and potions, he has the dueling feat, and he has reached the top tier, too. Yet he keeps losing to everybody, including my weaker spellcaster Sims. In fact, he lost so often he got cursed and now wants to hug random people. 

    Frankly, I never understood why Sims have to win duels to complete that aspiration to begin with, especially when duels are not skill- or knowledge-based but completely random.
