Summary0000128: Default for RoE and AB maps to not have combination artifact appear as random relic class artifacts - like the default in SoD.
DescriptionThe full combination artifacts are too powerful and game-breaking to appear fully assembled, like the Battle Garb in HOMM2. The SoD/H3 Complete executable blocks fully assembled combination artifacts appearing randomly as relic class artifacts by default in SoD maps, however RoE and AB maps are not covered. I think it would be great to include a global feature in VCMI to block combination artifacts appearing in a map of any format before SoD, without converting the map itself. The power of three to five artifacts in one is just too powerful to be given instead of a regular relic class artifact.

[For example imagine one player getting an Angelic Alliance, Titan's Thunder or Statue of Legion combination artifact (with all the stat boosts of its component parts too) and another player getting a measly Sandals of the Saint regular relic). ;-)]

Perhaps we should give them a different name (sth like "ancient relic" for example) and we could have this as part of the VCMI tweaks meant for game balancing, which players could enable/disable from the VCMI options.

I'm not sure if this worked properly between 0.82 and 0.84, but in 0.84 & 0.84b it's not.

I've attached here test maps for each game version. The RoE & AB maps will generate Comb.Artifacts at map start. Hero can pick them up, but if we R-click on them in hero screen, the game crashes.

There's another side issue which can be noticed if you load the maps: for all map versions we get the WoG artifacts as well. This is less bothering (they're not so overpowering and also using them doesn't lead to crash), but I guess this should change as well, for such artifacts to be generated only when maps are played in WoG mode.

Verified in 0.93 and confirmed as fixed.

The side issue with WoG artifacts spawning in random artifact slots on RoE/AB/SoD maps is handled by 0000820.
