In that case, you'd expect area attacks like Fireball to not break mirror image, either. I think it's more like D&D mages: mirror image takes concentration to maintain, and getting hit disrupts your concentration. Eye Shield eyeloss is probably painless so it doesn't disrupt your concentration.

...strength loss is permanent, and you can have negative Strength? In my game for this week, a custom province (from SemiRandom) had a bunch of R'lyeh-type creatures in it with ranged Steal Strength. I now have a whole squad of Ahiman Anakites, all of whome have Strength between -10 and -48. I haven't tested what happens if I try to besiege a castle with them. Actually the guy with -48 Strength should be really good at tearing down castle walls since your effectiveness scales with the square of your Strength. ;)

Are you sure about that? Normally, when you assign a stack of units, any excess beyond the commander's capacity simply isn't assigned. Two of those Myrmidons shouldn't have moved from the garrison or commander where they were when you selected them.
I'm sure. In retrospect I should've taken a screen shot :/

No, a screen shot would be irrelevant. It's known that you can do this, it's just surprising that you can do it accidentally (without adding and removing a command item). A screenshot wouldn't tell us anything that your words wouldn't.

Probably. I guess it's always possible the screenshot would reveal something we would otherwise overlook.

...it can rain spontaneously, without a spell needing to be cast? In this case, there will be no Battlefield Enchantment icon in the corner. The only way to know it's raining is either 1.) notice the raindrop graphics, or 2.) see that your fire mages are mysteriously taking way too much fatigue.

And for snow, you'll notice that your Water Elementals are suddenly Ice Elementals. :)

Provinces with high cold dominion don't have grass but only bare white ground. Maybe that's the case when it is snowing, too, can't remember.

it is.

Now, what are the chances of rain or snow?

My guess is that it's one weather check, and you get rain or snow depending on province temperature.

Is it known whether you can get storms as random weather?

I think I've seen them, on occasion (I watch WAY too many of my battles in SP....).
