Strange horror behaviour (likely bug)

[Tyrant]

Yeah, while this is indeed quite funny, it's also the kind of bug that can hose a MP game right quick, when is it going to be fixed?

Yea most of the MP games have patched already, when the turns start coming in with dead heros...well the screams will be loud...

Hunter of Heroes... The name sort of suggests he goes around murdering heroes. Seems like a special form of horror, that only needs a gold star as his beacon. If turning off the Hall of Fame stops heroic abilities, I'd say it would most likely work. I've never tried messing with the Hall of Fame, so I wouldn't know for sure.

lol please hotfix ASAP!

This reminds me of a funny Dino Buzzati short story - the one where the rulers of the world start dying unexplainably, of apparently natural causes, one each week, until the whole world is at peace because nobody wants to have more power than the others.

Beware the Hall of Fame!

(I've seen this as well - my pretender in a SP game met with the Hunter after a few turns)

Yeah. Not that "amusing" to see the developers describing it as simply one of the most amusing bugs they've seen, when it can totally [censored] up an MP game.

Then again, the army movement spells not working can [censored] up any game, and they didn't see fit to fix that in the patch. Nor the unbalanced pretenders.

If I were only a player, I'd be less disgruntled. As a programmer/developer, I'm starting to be unhappy for the horrible example it sets. (Especially for a game that set pre-order sales records.)

Any ETA on hotfix yet from devs? (or at least confirmation that hotfix is coming)

[LeSquide]

Wait. The travel spells are still bugged? >.<

I confirm that the eater of heroes attack units in the HoF without any horror mark.

Tried several games yesterday :

in the first game, 2 mages (both with heroic abilities) got eaten in the same game.

Second game : ermor with awake prince of death : my pretender was killed in a year of two (did'nt have any item yet, and raise dead in not enought versus an horror).

Third game : another mage eaten

I didn't have any game where I didn't lose at least one commander.

Scales that could have an influence :

magic was neutral or drain in all games (so I don't think that high magic can increase the chance)

luck was +2 or +3 in all 3 games (I'm tryibng differents nations and want to see their heroes ^_^)
I would think that if anything luck should decrease such random attack, but from a previous poster in the thread, it look like it could increase ?!
