I've been having a problem with Highterants laying eggs in cells containing enemy units and the eggs become invisible and move to a non-occupied location.

What happens is that the Highterant will take its turn and then you'll see it use its egg-laying ability either in an enemy cell or even a blank one, but the egg will be invisible and actually (in both cases) move to another cell that is empty. I can't see where the egg is, but the enemy can and will attack it. If they don't destroy it, then a Highterant comes out of the cell containing the invisible egg when it hatches and you get a new unit like normal.

I've noticed this on 3 occasions now and there also seems to be a related slowdown in the game turns between units when this happens.

This is using the Permafrost spell to create the Highterant. I can provide a save (or saves) if needed with steps to reproduce.

P.S. Here is the post where I have a save with details on how to repeat this bug: http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showpos...&postcount=443

Updates:

• Added Rune mage ranged penalty to Units section
• Added Jarl skill adding up its bonuses to Skills
• Added Ice Dragon death animation crash to Graphics
• Added Ice Dragon creator ability bug back to Units
• Qualified Maidens Call of Valhalla bug as some people say its there others not
• Added Highterrant egg problem to Units

@aghuita sounds like I should add that orcs attacking ice units bug. What kind of message do you get... is it a crash?

If anybody has more info on whether call of valhalla for the maidens is working for them, and whether they can scroll inventory when selling or not I'd appreciate it.

So, funny thing happened while I was modding. I was having trouble modifying the useless (past the first point) skill Edda, when I realized that it's actually broken in the original game. It's just no one's noticed it because no one puts points in it.

Basically, the 10%/20% bonus does not apply when you put extra points in it.

Going to go put the bug fix in the bug fix thread now.

Crap, missed the offer of a save for this. Do you still have one available? If so, can you attach it to either this thread, or the Bugfix thread?

   5. Highterants:
      1. Lay invisible egg in cell southeast of them (egg is not really in that cell)
      2. At this stage, the bug has been revealed. Finish the battle however you see fit and note Highterant Egg is not where you expect it. You'll have to see which invisible hex they attack to determine where it is.
      3. Also note that you may see some slowdowns between turns of units and might have to wait 30 seconds to a minute for the game to continue during these slowdowns - be patient!

I have other saves where this happens as well, but this is the one I was able to recreate and repeat.

If you don't see the same amount of damage I'm doiing then you must either be doing something incorrectly or the random seed is somehow different on your computer.

Feel free to ask me any other questions hopefully you're able to repeat the problem I'm having...

P.S. You must have the Armor of Valhalla set in order to repeat this bug with this save as indicated here: http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showpos...&postcount=463

Save is attached here:

Well, I'm having a bit of an issue when I load the game 4 out of your 5 unit stacks are out of control. Your leadership is listed as 2579. You'd need to have had at least 2700 to control the 2 Jotun. Had you modified your game at all to give you extra leadership?

[Oogee]

trying to dispel last hero after it's absorbed some damage causes the game to crash, and yes, I'm fully patched

[sethmage]

I have the Bronze Ring with 2 possible upgrades, but it cannot be upgraded, after every fight with the goblins keepers the ring is still level 1 with two upgrades to go. When I run out of gold I guess I will milk it for what is worth.

I have it too. I'm going to reach lvl 70 while still on Fastland.

@Colbert30 thanks, I feel the same way

@Bhruic thanks for the explanation, I'll keep things as is. Hopefully they will understand the issue and make adjustments.

@Jazzer32 sounds like a bug. Do you have patched or unpatched version? I sure wish I had fire rain (for multiple reasons) or I'd try it myself to see if it shows 1 dmg in the tooltip. If anybody else can confirm that would be great.

@Oogee there was a bug about Last Hero pre-patch but this sounds different. I see Bhruic is ready to help you test it (see below). Sorry for my incorrect reply earlier, I misunderstood. When we can confirm it we'll add the bug.

@Sethmage I have that ring and was able to upgrade it. Sounds like a bug with unpatched version (or unpatched + fixes). You could always remove fixes and try the upgrade to see if that helps.
