Default Re: When archers go bad! VERY BAD!

One thing I might add is if there actually was some kind of enemy which popped outa nowhere in the middle of my units, my mages would have casted frozen heart on it instead of casting buffs. The only summon spells which were cast was raise dead and raise skeletons. pangaea does not have cold-resistant units.

A rare occurence of Last foe dying during your turn, or right before it.

So basically your unit finish their turn but without ennemy target thus...

Seems to happen more often in 2.08

What can I say? Incoming fire has the right of way, after all, and Murphy was an optimist.

I have only observed this in 2.08, and it seems quite common.

Interestingly, I've seen the computer shoot itself as well.
