Affliction record?

Well, um, I don't have the impressive rap sheets like you guys do, but I do think that one of the funniest afflictions I've seen was on a Great Spider:

"Lose a couple of eyes."

I almost spit soda when I read that.

Phradmon . . . Prophet, Hero, Crash-Test Dummy.

Phradmon is the result of an all AI quick test game. So Phradmon doesn't have a story.

Actually he does have some background. I found him when I inspected Pangaea (CW) besieging Caelum. Due to a bug Phradmon was immortal (not the old fashioned dominion Version, but true immortality where you cannot be killed) and got back from the grave whenever he was scewered. He singlehandedly defeated hundreds of enemies trying to get him (if boring them to death counts as defeating).

I had a similar thing happen in a game I was playing recently as Vanheim (not exactly the same bug though apparantly). A Marignon inquisitor died, but wasn't removed from the battle. He still counted as being alive for the purposes of Marignon's presence in the battle, but he never moved or cast anything and none of my units would acknowledge his existance. After turn 40ish they auto-routed, which sucked. I found him in the middle of the battlefield in the replay (only looked cause I lost with a vastly superior force) with like -27 hp and a bunch of wounds. I still have that turn file, since I figured I'd send it in with a bug report one of these days.

Zurai, is that an SP game? If it is, are the server and client the same comp?

If it is an MP game, or the server and client are diffent comp (and possible different OS), then it may also be the Battle Replay bug that have been sighted lately.

Hm. Now that I think about it... I don't remember ever seeing "Lost both arms" as an affliction. Impossible?

Zurai. Send in the turn. There should not be -27 HP units on the battlefield (obviously). This is not the battle inconsistency. This is something else.
