BUG: Summoning half a wolf per forest province?
 
Is this a bug or a feature? I have two werewolves (obtained by "call of the wild") in a forest province ordered to summon allies, and the next turn I get three wolves. So each werewolf called one-and-a-half wolf, right? Arent there enough wolves in a single forest? Will the forest eventually run out of wolves?

Is a similiar behaviour known with other terrain-dependant summons?

I don't see any reason to assume that both summoned the same number of wolves. One summoned two, the other summoned one.

Sure, but I thought that there is no random factor involved when summoning allies! Is there? I thought that I would get one wolf in non-forest provinces and always two in forest provinces...

From my testing, you get 3 per turn everywhere.

Three wolves per turn per werewolf, regardless of terrain, has been my experience too. Is it possible that one of the werewolves was not set to summon? Perhaps for one werewolf, its summoned wolves appeared in its squad instead of in the garrison?

It has always been 3 wolves per werewolf... and only one werewolf per province can do summoning. Others can be assigned to summon as well but nothing will happen.

That was a misleading title! I was hoping for a screenshot of some wolf butts running around on the battlefield.

That are nasty things that should be made clear or fixed.

Oh, I am real sorry for disappointing you! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/redface.gif
But hey, aren't you in the fluffy felines fan faction anyway (as opposed to the canis candidae cutes community)??? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Good point! Both were still set to "summon allies", but one of them had wolves assigned to him, so I could have just missed the squad's increased number! Otherwise, if NTJedi is right, does this affect other summons as well?

In any case, I will investigate this matter over the next few turns more closely and report back here. However, it seems that there is a bug then in Zen's Summoned Creature Quick Reference v1.0, where it specifically says that Werewolves summon one wolf per non-forest province and two per forest province (see Call of the Wild)...
