Strange horror behaviour (likely bug)
 

I've encountered rather interesting behaviour. My rainbow pretender was quietly doing his things (meaning searching for magic sites) when he was attacked by Hunter of Heroes. He didn't have any horror marks (or anything remarkable at all). After he has defeated the horror he got morphed into "Old Standard" (what is "Old Standard"?). He has retained all his magic levels, but not physical characteristics. As it happened on that turn he was moving to another province to search that was [as it came out unfortunately] populated by barbarians. Needless to say that in the new morphed form my rainbow pretender has promptly got slaughtered http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

I haven't seen (or read) anything indicating the possibility of morphing due to horror attack. I wonder if it's a bug.

Btw, why he has even got attacked by a horror?

I kept saved game in case it's a bug and IW would want to investigate.

Can't shed much light, except that within a fairly short time the Hunter of Heroes ate two of my EA Abysian HOFers, neither of whom was horror-marked, and away from ex. Vale of Infinite Horror.

I was wondering whether this was a weird property of Malphas the Corrupter (attracting horrors to attack his teammates), but perhaps this particular DH has become more active with 3.01.

Several of my HoF Starspawn mages have been eaten by Hunter of Heroes since patch 3.01. None of the poor fellows did have horror mark.

Now it ate my Frogzard-prophet ... .
He was 4th in the HoF, although he had the most kills (7).
He was cursed (witch event), but not horror-marked.

This sucks .. losing a 350gold mage on turn 8 !!

This was the funniest bug in a long time http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif And it is a bug, no horrors should appear unless you are horror marked or some mighty blood spell is in effect.

I also got attacked by RAWRku, but since I was testing out one of Amos' mods I thought that the creature that was attacked was powerful enough to draw to horror's attention anyway.

Can it be avoided? I'm thinking of disabling Hall of Fame. Would that work?

Yeah, while this is indeed quite funny, it's also the kind of bug that can hose a MP game right quick, when is it going to be fixed?

Re: Strange horror behaviour (likely bug)
 

Yea most of the MP games have patched already, when the turns start coming in with dead heros...well the screams will be loud...
