If machakan spider rider gets poisoned and dies, remaining poison will still affect spider who is poison immune.

I don't remember seeing this in here, but.

If nation A is being sieged by B in a province with a fort, nation C's scouts (etc) can be set to 'Defend' in said province with either hotkey command or by canceling some previous order. Usually, if you set your sneaking commander to 'Defend', it attacks the province it is in. But if the province is a sieged castle, then it won't.

However, should B storm the fort and win, nation C's defending scouts end up sieging the fort with B's stormers inside. Same happens if sieged gets a barbarian/knight attack in the province, because it would appear indies default to 'Defend', and don't appear until the siege is resolved.

I'd think the logical behaviour would be that the third-party 'Defenders' would attack the sieging force, instead of defaulting to some sort of sneaky defence.

Atul, that seems to be a special case of the how third party units (whether indies or other nations) are handled in sieges and is already listed. There is a whole slew of siege related behavior and movement bugs in the shortlist.

U 1856 Hydra Wrong secondshape. Unit should have secondshape 1850 instead of 1856. Form 1856 is one of the intermediate forms of the Pythium SC sacred hydras, but it does not revert back to its base form due to wrong secondshape. All other hydra secondshapes seem to be okay.

I've had it a couple of times that I can't see the results of an (Earth Attack) assassination attempt. The casting is successful, there's a battle, but I can't see the battle. Clicking on the crossed swords icon doesn't switch to battle mode. Any ideas why this is? Or is this a bug?

Doesn't it need a scout in that province for battle report?

lch · #**1528** February 16th, 2008, 04:09 PM

I don't think so. And anyway, I can see other assassination reports from the same province, just some I can't see. Or do the assassinations have to be successful without scouts?

Slaves are stored as a signed 16-bit integer.

(SP game, Large map, one AI left who actually holds most of the map. I'm up against the commander limit and there's not much to do with the slaves so they have been building up.)

Yes I also have games which encountered the commander limit on maps without ERMOR or Ry'leh of only 700 provinces.

The game has a commander limit and empty assassination spells(not working) are one of the many side-effects.
Ideally the best solution would be providing a game setting where the commander limit and unit limit could be increased as desired thus more powerful computers don't have to suffer these limitations. Considering computers are constantly becoming more and more powerful these limitations should be scalable.
* Even a moddable commander limit and unit limit would be nice, allowing the game to be scalable with todays faster computers.
