Re: Strange horror behaviour (likely bug)
 

Hunter of Heroes... The name sort of suggests he goes around murdering heroes. Seems like a special form of horror, that only needs a gold star as his beacon. If turning off the Hall of Fame stops heroic abilities, I'd say it would most likely work. I've never tried messing with the Hall of Fame, so I wouldn't know for sure.

lol please hotfix ASAP!

This reminds me of a funny Dino Buzzati short story - the one where the rulers of the world start dying unexplainably, of apparently natural causes, one each week, until the whole world is at peace because nobody wants to have more power than the others.

Beware the Hall of Fame! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

(I've seen this as well - my pretender in a SP game met with the Hunter after a few turns)

Isn't Old Standard the unit id 0 -or 1- ,that is, the first existing unit ?

Re: Strange horror behaviour (likely bug)
 

Johan, did it make sense to you what happened with my pretender (getting morphed) too? If you need a savegame I can send it.

In the sample picture, your god does have a horror mark. Did he get that during the battle with Hunter of Heroes?

Or did he pick it up as an event during the battle?

Hmmm are you sure that it is a bug? I tried 2 games with sc´s... One with vanheim ea and one with abysia ma...

I played both in the 30th turn and never see such a horror. with abysia i had even 5 heroes in the hof.

Are you playing with luck-3 or something?

Re: Strange horror behaviour (likely bug)
 

Horror has attacks that give horror mark - that's how he got it (in the battle that resulted in morphing)

Re: Strange horror behaviour (likely bug)
 

I wasn't sure. Morphing looked highly suspicious. But Johan (from Illwinter) said that horror attack is a bug.

Re: Strange horror behaviour (likely bug)
 

Yeah. Not that "amusing" to see the developers describing it as simply one of the most amusing bugs they've seen, when it can totally [censored] up an MP game.

Then again, the army movement spells not working can [censored] up any game, and they didn't see fit to fix that in the patch. Nor the unbalanced pretenders.

If I were only a player, I'd be less disgruntled. As a programmer/developer, I'm starting to be unhappy for the horrible example it sets. (Especially for a game that set pre-order sales records.)
