Default Antagonally Cleared Confusion

_It does not. I just checked a Nature's Awareness save for Medium and Small. 6 Towers, 14 Myrror Nodes, 16 Arcanus Nodes.

_You seem to have misread or not read at all, and although easily remedied, I'll note what hasn't been. (I would ask what game version you are running, but you have told me with a question.)
_I have noticed no difference in the tax money paid when the populace was divided into farmers and workers, and completely to farmers. That, and I was speaking of when there was already a project going, and the value of free gold from management.
_I forgot nothing with the planar towers; when you plan a road on suitable ground, then shift planes*, the road will be built regardless, even over water. *To clarify, you need the view to be on the "invalid" plane when the selection switches to the Engineer's turn. It's safer to select the Engineers on the plane you wish them to build at the beginning of every turn, and to keep the view on that plane at the end of every turn. At least until they finish their first section. You might have to keep doing it if they have the plane-shifting ability.
_Kyrubb already noted the Air Mage drag was a bug. Although I discovered in my current game if all the units are flying regardless (Draconians) the counter will say "0.5" after the flyer's two moves, but I can still move all the supposed distance.

_On the subject of army strength effecting treasure, I haven't noticed any difference when varying the amount of four heroes, a shaman, and two longbowmen troops. When they were all together, and I was testing a Volcano with two Fire Giants and some Hell Hounds, it had a reward of a prisoner, one spell, and 200 mana crystals. Defeating the node with only the Valkyrie of the group provided the exact same reward. The spell gained seemed to about the same value every time, varying from Hell Hounds to Awareness equally.
However, I have never tested how the treasure varies when you lose once while taking out much of their forces then win. This must be done for science. Although not Dwarven Science, this game isn't free enough for that.

_On Hard mode, it seems like creature growth only extends to the weaker creatures; such as adding skeletons or phantom warriors. Does the treasure gained correspond to creature growth on Impossible? Or is it skewed sufficiently downward?

_Kyrubb, I wanted to ask, how do you identify which save file is which when you seem to have more save files that saves in the game? Making a new save doesn't change anything.
I also now assume it is a bug that I managed to achieve 16 spellbooks. Would it be possible to remove the book and ability cap in your mod?

_Is anyone ever entertained by the horrible AI? I was entertained when they had a force that could take one of my outposts, yet decided to attack one troop at a time, making them manageable to my archers.

I had a case when between attacking my city with a single unit of spearmen and my army of 3 heroes and 6 other units (too far to reach the city before the enemy) they decided to attack the latter and of course got smashed.

Another case was when they conquered my city (there was nothing I could've done), but I had to reload the game from that turn because I forgot to change production in another city and made some settlers that I didn't need. I made exactly the same moves (except from changing that production), but in enemy turn they decided not to attack that city but move away from it.

But I belive the best one is this time when I was 'camping' next to an enemy wizard's capital waiting for my other troops to arrive so I could take the city (something I often do). Now, there's no point mentioning that the enemy could've attacked me and crushed me any time with those forces in the capital. What he did though was that he moved out some bowmen units out of the city so he could have space to produce and summon something quite useless (can't remember what). So I crushed him the next turn without those troops I was waiting for.

I am not sure if I understand your question. Saves are put in the save#.gam files in the MoM directory, where # is the number of the save slot in the Game screen. If you make a new save, you overwrite automatically the old one.

Now, if you want to help me find the bugs, once you witness something weird, you go immediately (without quitting) to the MoM directory, grab your last save, rename or copy it to something like windwalking_bug.gam. And contact me afterwards ****** very grateful reaction from me.

"My mod" is not a mod. It is a simple attempt to correct the in-game bugs and remove the main AI blunders and stupidities. So no modding.
