NTJedi said:This rarely happens yet does happen once in a blue moon. This has nothing to do with giving the commander/mage the command attack. If you watched the last arena match my spellcaster SC(Battle#3) was killed despite the battle showing him with 36hitpoints at the end of battle.

Illwinter will have a better chance of fixing this issue is if we find a way to accurately reproduce the issue repeatedly.
I know I've submitted save files with the bug in them, info is out there. AFAIK the bug is caused by different random number generators; it happens when a MP game is hosted on one computer type (e.g. PC) and played on another (e.g. a Mac). The real battle resolution is determined once at host level, but the replay is generated at the player level, so it's possible for the replay to end up incorrect once in a blue moon if it handles random numbers differently.
