Happened right now: I am besieging an enemy castle, and get a report from that province, that a Gadite rebel sneaked into a temple and freed some blood slaves. So, he sneaked into an enemy temple inside a besieged castle, and somehow managed to free some of MY blood slaves. I do not know how did he manage to do that, clearly we have a very complicated plot at work here.

This was probably reported before me, but I just found this amusing.

Ownership of sieged provinces causes certain events to behave strangely. This is another instance of essentially the same issue.

Is there a link to the bug where the battle replay differs significantly from the map/message report. IE, in the replay I lost the fight. On the map and on the message report, I won the battle. My suspicion is that the replay is bugged b/c I had killed all the troops and 6/15 commanders or so but his army kept fighting. Mine eventually fled on the replay but were still in possession of the castle on the map.

Known bug, oft reported. Search the bug list ..

But like it's annoying man.

cast leprosy on a castle i was besieging and it diseased my troops instead of the defending army. Spell specifically says enemy army, and other spells like this will target the defending army when you're besieging.

In the last turn of Sharivar game, I teleported 2 commanders to some enemy province, one of them had Staff of Storms. However there was no Storm during fight. Here is the log part regarding this issue:

Also, some time ago I had another bug which I was too lazy to report here alone. Spells with Prec 100 can miss the target occasionally. In particular, I had Magic Duel miss.

Both turns are available if needed by IW.

Send them and the debug log to IW. I can't make heads or tails out of that, except it looks like something ran out of enchantments. In any case, Johan is the only one who can do anything about it.

We all know the trouble of your mages going off script, casting a berzerking spell on your mages, and costing you the battle. But has anybody ever had a squad of troops going off script?

A squad of Jotun woodsmen set to attack flyers did this to me in the Bootcamp game. At first they performed good, hacking the flyers into submission. But when they cleared out their nearby squares of troops they decided to walk back to the Mammoths and get trampled to death. Instead of just stepping one step forward, and crushing the last unconscious commander. Why O why did the idiots choose to walk all the way back, and not simply take one step forward and win me the battle...

what was the scripted commands?
