I noticed something strange: You had 1 too many warrior maiden and rune mage units in your stacks, but the game did not indicate that something was wrong. Only when I removed a unit from one of the stacks did the other stack get the too many units warning. I also noticed that the lava golem was really slowing down the game, much more than I have experienced in any of my games. But, as I said, no crashes due to poison cloud. Sorry about that...

When fighting against Human race units with the "Adaptable" ability, it seems like the attack/defense bonus they get is based on my values, instead of their own.

Right now i'm in a battle on a beach against a group that has Inquisitors(neutral morale, no effects active, and no hero), the Adaptable ability's tooltip says it has a 14% bonus there, but it's attack and defense values are 24 (16), and when checking the tooltip of MY Adaptable ability(on my Inquisitors), it says 50% on beaches, which maches what the enemy gets.


I see some units get 50%, and others seem to get 30%(despite the bonus of the area fought in varied from 21% to 42%), this fight, Priests seem to get 30%, Robbers gained 50% instead though. Also saw Bowmen get 30% earlier.

Very observant about the unit number... I just went to check, and it looks OK for me. I bet you don't have the celestial helm in your game, which gives me +200 leadership. I think I got it for the pre-order or something like that, and I've heard of cases where save-swapping has run into problems with people who can't have that set.

I don't know what is causing the hang up for me, but it's consistent and annoying. Some confluence of patches and successive savegames, I guess. I'll just start over at some point, I think, once I am reasonably confident the patches are done. And I hope they aren't, too.

@BaZERGer - I haven't paid much attention to "adaptive" but I'm surprised to hear the number is different for the same unit in the same terrain. What do you think causes this? Artifacts, skills, morale...? In any case, it's applying the better of the values to all units with "adaptive" right?

Does anyone know of Jotun's Greed and Troll's Pacify ability does not work? Is there any fix for this? Thanks for the answer. The game is the latest Steam patch.

Actualy, morale would explain the 30% bonus ganed instead of 50% by the Priest and Bowmen, as the Robbers they were with lowers their morale.

Which just leaves that they get a 50% stat bonus before morale effects. I have roughly 50% in the tooltip of my own Adaptable ability for the terrain, but the tooltip of the enemies has another value, just not one it seems to follow.

-

I've seen a couple of other behaviors that seem act slightly different from the tooltip, the talent Magic Shield says it lowers any damage inflicted by 50%, but doesn't affect damage from Burning or Frozen, dunno about Poisoned, and the Diplomacy skill says it'll convince a percentage of the enemy troops to desert, but it only convinces that percentage of a single unit type.


Dunno if it's intentional, but one of the upgrades for the rage skill Ice Blades, lowered the rest time from something like 4 turns, to -5 turns, effectively removing the rest time for quite a while.
Also seems to be a typo in the skill Sense Weakness, it says espace where it seems like it should say escape.

Kinda new this game and haven't gone pass the first 4 islands but thats not the point. Reading the bug notes and atm on 40th page somewhere and havent knowtice this mentioned before - it would fit better under cosmetic problems and not a bug but i thought why i keep loosing my magic crystals and finally figured out that Raven who writes the scrolls actually takes 5 for making one (atleast for titan sword one). Also the 3 crystals i brought up in smugglers haven Devils lake (the sunken goldbag quest) don't count for the crystal collecting achivement (i think they should as afterall they are found).

∙ Silver Rapier and Ray of Light properties corrected*

* This change will be applied only after starting a new game because this data is stored in a save file.

OMG.
Not that the Silver Rapier does not let us make infinite XP anymore, it still costs several millions gold to craft it (if you have >4M gold).
WTF ??? the good bug is corrected and the bad bug still exists...
So now it is not possible to reach lvl70 in impossible mode AT ALL.

My save games in demonis have become corrupted. They load successfully, but I'm unable to move out of the screen. The screen has stopped scrolling. I also cannot interact with any monsters.

However, if I load an older save (where I'm not in demonis) they work fine. has there been a recent update (its hard to tell from steam)

thanks

There was a recent update today. And the same error occurs for me, although I am in Hades. No more map scrolling, so it is unplayable at the moment.

I'm currently playing a Soothsayer and am on the 2nd island. Christa's Gift has become totally useless since this latest update. I've played through this game before, and it used to be an awesome ability. Now the enemies are flat out ignoring it, even if they have the chest icon on them and are within the level range, and it's adjacent to them. I've only leveled Christa's Gift's damage up once and haven't gotten the increased range upgrades, so maybe those make it start functioning again.
