Default Re: Bug Commentary

Another post dealing with issues that were reported as bugs despite the bug status being questionable. We also get a new acronym: DAU = Dismissed As Useless. It will be applied to bug reports that are too vague or incoherent to give any useful information.

The next batch:

DAU. Report is too vague. ***** Queen is available for Midgård.

Possible Bug:
When giving the Shuten-doji a weapon (one-handed) or a shield he loose his life-drain attack. Do he need both his hands to life-drain ? I think the life-drain weapon should made #bonus. Reason: He is a kind of vampire and suck blood with his mouth, not with his hands.
WAD. Shuten-doji has 2 hand slots and neither life drain or claw are bonus weapons. When shield is added, the second weapon is eliminated. If the order of the weapons were reversed, claw would disappear. Making life drain bonus would mean giving it as a bonus attack for every creature with life drain, which has deeper and more direct consequences than just switching the order of Shuten-doji's weapons. This is a matter of personal preferences related to game features, not a bug.

Prince of Death is described as a demon prince, but he's undead, not demon.
Probably WAD. Description may need an update to refer to him as a demon prince of the Underworld, but this is more a matter of personal preferences than even much of a description error. Leaving that up for the devs.

Major Bug: When any single member of a missile squad is - or becomes - unable to shoot, the entire squad will stop shooting and immediately charge in to close combat.
This needs a more detailed report and more independent confirmation. I have never seen this behavior and seems to be WAD. Are you sure you hadn't mistakenly given your missile squad attack orders?

Units descriptions in Ryleh EA do mentions Ryleh instead of the Aboleths
WAD. This is nothing but pointless whining. The various slave trooper and slave guardian units and several of the slave commanders are used by EVERY SINGLE ERA OF R'LYEH. It is quite unreasonable to expect there to be a separate set of completely identical units except for the description, but no functional OR thematic difference.

For an example where there are functionally identical units with different descriptions, see Kailasa/Lanka/Bandar Log/Patala. Those nations have several units that are the same, but e.g. the Lanka and Kailasa Bandar Commanders are different units because the nations are thematically very different from each other despite superficial similarities. Such large scale thematic differences do not exist between EA and MA R'lyeh, which is the point that matters.
