Default Re: Send Horror and Scouts

Now, one weird thing I encountered playing MA Abysia 1, maybe 2 patches ago was:

Scout hiding in province A, ordered to attack province B. Send horrors to both A and B. Result (assuming horror attacks succeed) is I owned both A and B. This was 100% reproducible in that game (I used it *many* times over years of game time - I was heavily horror spamming), but doesn't seem to work that way when I try it now. Weird...

Maybe it was part of the movement verification stuff done a patch or two ago?

It would seem that as it currently is there is some sort of flag on each phase whether there's a fight. If the flag is no for a fight in a province during magic battle phase, previously sneaking now moving from A to B don't fight in A. But if there's a magic attack on prov A the game gathers all non-sneaking troops present at A during magic phase (which includes our sneaker) and resolves the fight in the usual order (nations first, then the last man standing fights independents).

Same flag applies to the drowning check, see the thread couple weeks ago about troops moving out of water without items or drowning if there's a magic attack on the province...

Nice check Atul. And you are right Baalz... something seems to have changed.

I'm at a loss to say what it is though.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure you could take off water breathing gear and move to land and live some time ago. Now you die.
