Re: Dominions II Bug Thread
- kamikaze leader on "fire closest"
TienChi Chariot, heroic quickness 154%, Piercer crossbow, set to 5x "hold & fire","fire closest"
.. fires, than advances with appr. 1/2 the normal move, starts trampling enemies in the next turn.
.
- Bernlad the Green Knight (Man Hero) equipment problems
Uses Lance, Broadsword, Kite Shield, Full Chain Mail, Full Helmet, mounted.
Giving him a "Shield of Valour" makes him loose the broadsword, leaves him with the lance only.
Giving the same shield to a Sidhe Lord (Spear, Javelin, round shield, Chain mail cuireass, helmet) lets him still use Spear & javelin.
.
- flying carpet isn't working
.. a single additional unit cancels the 3-province radius. Also the "flying"-ability icon isn't show on the character info screen.
.
- cavalry on "attack rear" freezes
Bernlad with orders "hold, attack rearmost" with 25 bodyguards just freezes in place. First I though because there isn't any rearmost troop - both enemy Groups attacked, commanders "staying behind troops" and advanced,too. But I saw that again when he was all on his own with his bodyguard against a handful province defense. He advanced and killed 2, than froze in place.
.
- Single mages casts communion slave/master
Veatti Hag casts communion slave despite being the only mage on her side, and communion master after that ..
.
- Commanders commits suicide by casting spells
Commander was victim of Vengeance of the Dead; attacked by 57 Dead Ones (ATT7, DEF 4). Had glamour and was decked out with items, including Spirit Helm; melee encumbrance was 6; Fatigue after initial blessing:12; "Stinger"-length 4; attack 17, defense 39(!);
The dead ones couldn't have hit him, had he destroyed them one by one in melee. Instead he casted high-fatigue spells until passing out - while he wasn't even hit with fatigue 88 . He (air-3) killed himself with the shock wave (air-2), either by fatigue or by frying himself
Savegames available if desired.
