Default Re: Very serious combat bug?

I agree that Edi isn't as calm as some others, especially Gandalf. However, Edi manages several projects that take far more of his free time than just managing the forums would. The dom 3 database and the buglist threads alone are incredible, and priceless. I'd rather have grumpy Edi to do this categorizing stuff than not have them, and AFAIK Edi was made a moderator because he does that, instead of giving his job to some moderator. I presume there were no volunteers.



However, I also fail to see the clear, well-documented bug. It seems that sometimes, the RNG produces strange results - that's about it. What else was there to this bug report?

That it happens more often to flagellants than other units? Well, is it about the flagellant's unit nr, or their weapon, or were they actually blessed in all fights and there's some strange hidden damage multiplicator bug that sometimes occurs on blessed units, or what?

So far, the bug reported in this thread seems to be:

"Sometimes units, such as flagellants, manage to hit superior units, such as King of Elemental Fire with 15 more defense and 34 protection (on a shield hit), and deal lots of damage."

What should be done about that? Rewrite Dominions internal mechanics completely?
