Dominions II Bug Thread

[Skolem]

I had a bug in an MP game we start with the Last Version and play more then five turn under 2.12.
In the message it was said that I lost a fight vs Indies, in the map the indies take no losses and I take the one writen in the message, but when I look the battle I win clearly, I look until the end. I take exaktly the losses that the battles shows.
Could anyone explain me what happens??
Thanks

It's not a ritual spell, but has its own menu item.

Jotunheim's Skratti and Abysia's Great Warlock pretenders are still missing, just as they were with 2.11. Given that it was stated that this was a mistake / glitch in 2.11, shouldn't they have been put back in with the 2.12 patch?

Also - Elemental Armor still has a description stating that it gives immunity to fire, cold, and lightning. Since it only gives 50% resistance now, this really ought to be modified. Otherwise people who don't memorize the patch release notes are going to be rather disappointed when forging the armor.

Hi,

In a MP PBEM game with 3 humans (machaka, tienchi, caelum) and 5 ai's (abysia, arcos, ctis, pythium, man) playing on karan I get a "Något gick fel!" when hosting.

Dom2 --verify produces .chk files that looks OK.

Here is the output from running with the debug flag:

Hi,

The problem is that the contents of the 2h files are not consistent with what's in the fatherland file. Maybe you have incorrectly tried to redo a turn or reverse the time a bit. Delete some 2h files and it should work correctly again.

I've experienced that too. A temporary solution is to use a mage that is good enough. You get the cost for free at least.

I was assaulting a fortress. One of my commanders got hit by an arrow and retreated. It turns out he retreated to a province half a map away, to which he couldn't possibly have moved by any regular means. I guess the game got confused about the place where the battle was taking place, and put him in a random province afterwards.

edit: Upon reviewing the battle, I also noticed I didn't get the message "XY is retreating" either. He kind of just walked out after he came around from unconsciousness (he got hit by the arrow while he was over 100 fatigue).

I still use Stone Spheres with scouts in Dom 2.

Just make sure you activate the item through the leader's orders menu (select leader, press spacebar, select 'Cast Item Spell: XXX'). The other method doesn't work.
