Default The Ark and other underwater bugs

I brought the Ark underwater to fight about 600 Ermorian undead (mostly non-sacred). There was no battle enchantment icon for the Ark, and enemy units did not take any damage from it.

Also, according to the battle report, the commander holding the Ark did not die: Commanders 2, killed 0. But when viewing the battle, he runs away. He's carrying a Barrel of Air, and there is a friendly province for him to retreat to. But the message log says my commander died retreating into enemy territory (and I can forge the Ark again, which is a bad sign ).



Is the Ark supposed to work underwater?

Can an underwater fleeing commander flee to a friendly neighboring underwater province, if he is a land-based unit wearing a water-breathing item?

There is a bug where breathing items are sometimes not taken into account when finding valid retreat paths.

As for the lack of ark effect underwater, most likely it's simply an unintended detail that hasn't come up before.

Thanks. I don't see the retreat bug in the short list, so I'll update the bug discussion thread.

The Ark doesn't work underwater because it IIRC casts Solar Brilliance, which is not castable underwater. The retreat bug I hadn't seen before, therefore it was noyt in the shortlist.

Are you sure? I mean, IIRC it creates an "Ark" battle-enchantment effect... which has some things in common with SB, but is nowhere near identical in effect or theme. I suppose an "Ark doesn't work underwater" limit could be WAD, but personally I'd presume otherwise.

i also thought it just cast solar brilliance; ie., that part isn't a bug.

he should have been able to retreat, though.
