I don't know what's up with this particular battle, but I'm getting several highly noticeable bugs:



1. My Ateshi Zealots are often failing to attack on their turns, even though they are set to aggressive and end their movement within range of an enemy.



2. Reinforcement armies are arriving in a different order than I specify. Also, this is the first time I can recall when units from a reinforcing army arrived before the hero leading that army.



3. I saved after setting up the battle but before playing it so that I could post a clear example save in this thread. However, upon loading the save, the battle area has rotated, changing which tiles are included in the battle, which ones are legal starting positions, and even which armies are eligible to reinforce. If you look at the relative positions of the armies before starting the battle, you should easily see that the battle area is wrong. This one didn't happen when I both initiated and played the battle without reloading, so I'm including 2 save files for comparison.



4. The first time I played the battle, a militia unit that thought I instructed not to reinforce was given XP at the end of the battle. However, I haven't been able to reproduce this part, so it's possible this was my error.

Hello Antistone,



Here are some answer.

1) This was a bug we encountered for different units in different contexts. This failure of attacks have been looked into and should not appear again following next update.

2) You cannot choose the arrival order of reinforcements. It should be based on the best unit according to a score (damage, life and level taken into account). But this formula might be tweak for better understanding and anticipation.

3) It was also something we spotted. Battle area before and after launching a battle were indeed different. Will be ok in next patch.

4) We will investigate on this last point even if indeed I confirm it was not the case when we reproduce the battle.



Cheers,

Then what do the "move the selected reinforcement up/down" arrows do, exactly? I seem to remember the tutorial telling me that this controlled the order they enter the battle.

There is only a checkbox that allow you to choose with army to use as reinforcements.

There is no possibility to choose the first unit to come from this army though.



I've double checked the tutorial and the reinforcements feature is not taken into account considering that in the example there are none.

I know there's no ability to choose which unit from a given army comes in first, but there are arrow buttons that specifically let you change the order of the armies themselves, moving them up and down in the list. If those buttons don't control the order that the armies enter, why do they exist?

Ok I thought you were talking about the possibility to move unit inside a reinforcement army itself...

So, about the arrows, I think you've just found a buggy feature here. Indeed it seems that it does not work as intended. I will report that on our database and we will investigate on the issue.

Thanks for all the information!
