Animate Dead bugged in Sorcerer Dungeon?

[Zalan]

Has anyone else noticed you cant Animate Dead in Sorcerer Dungeon? The spell seems to only work on Evil Mages. The spells not working on Gargoyles, Demons, or .elementals . Is this a bug? or is this intentional?

And also, when I try to summon earths, it says something likes, "Oops, something was in the way" or some such silly nonsense.

Very annoying

Atleast EVs and RCs work

IIRC, many of the spawn aren't their normal versions, but ones set up to quick-decay. It could be that the quick-decay code is interfering with animation.

Partially anyway, my RC's keep getting dispelled a lot in certain parts. Particularly by the the Dull Copper Elementals, Don't remember them dispelling my summons years ago much less 3-4 RC's in a row on a regular basis.

Why would you want to animate dead in the first place? Their kills are not credited to you are they? So only adds more chaos? Of course it could be I am wrong in thinking this for many years...

Yes you get credit for their kills

True enough and the liche lords and the Balrons, I just put weaving on a tamer with a Goo bushi hiryu and between the goo and the lightning I do alright until things get crowded.

I’ve found that animate dead works in the rooms, but not the halls and that often I can’t animate the para corpses.

I am pretty sure the message has to do with line of sight. Similarly, you may not be able to cast teleport from some hallway tiles, or cast EVs. I feel like that's the reason animate doesn't work...but I am unsure as to whether it is LOS or not.

It's spotty on letting me summon pixies in the dungeon, as well. It's only let me once so far. Other times it says I can't summon another follower, or something similar, even when I have no followers at all.
