You must be the thing that starts with N, goes on with two O's and ends with a B.

I just made an account to start posting about the dozens of bugs I've encountered in my first 2 hours of play. If you don't have anything useful to add it's way better to just stfu thx.

Basically the game needs patching before it can be played as it should. There are multiple skill descriptions that are wrong, dialogue problems, skill issues, and hard crashes.

I'm a huge fan but I must wait for the patch to be able to fully enjoy the game.

I got into the battle with some neutrals and since they also had some griffins with them, the diplomacy bug kicked in and my griffins spent their fight flying like idiots all over battlefield until they got hit by 2K stack of fireflies (that sure woke them up).

After the battle finished, I noticed that my maximum rage dropped from 112 to 78 for no reason. I tried to switch my senior valkyrie a bit and also tried shuffling my equipment to help the game remember, but the maximum rage stayed low. I replayed the neutral battle with some griffins in the reserve and rage did not get nerfed. Conclusion: Better not even start any battles with diplomacy bug, the bug might do more than just make your battle harder.

Second one:

Valkyrie map abilities (refund for fallen warriors in the next battle etc.) seem to take longer to recharge with every use, but the game kind of forces you to use spam the abilities asap to get the Favorite of Valkyries medal. The problem is that the bonus for the medal seems to be worded such that it reduces the time for the map ability, not the battle ability. It seems a bit pointless to spam the ability 10 times, getting its recharge time from 10 battles to 20 battles, to get a modal lowering the recharge from 20 battles to 19 battles. Just putting it out there, I need to do some more testing on this.

Thanks. That first one is documented - units go berserk when you have more than you can normally get with leadership, and diplomacy isn't deserting them like it should be (it adds them you instead, making them crazy). On the second, once you've figured out a good way for me to list the bug I'm happy to do so. Or if it's not a bug but rather a suggestion I made a thread for those here.

On un related note, it would be nice if a mod made this a sticky thread, I've already PMed and wall posted but they don't seem to be working this weekend. And of course what I'd really like is for the devs to read it.

Not sure why this is the only KB game without a tech sub forum or why the dev/mods seem to be MIA. Maybe they are taking a break after launch, sometimes they need breaks after long pre-launch hours.

Christa's gift makes the game stop progressing if you have it at range 2+ and the first mob that gets attracted to the gift is blocked by another mob. Basically the AI doesn't know what action to do with that mob so it gives the hourglass indefinetely.
Menu is still working so the game is still properly running though. Isn't an crash.

In my case it were 2 zombies blocking the route to the gift.

Gift of Odin ability for the War Maiden's doesn't seem to always work. I've no idea exactly why... perhaps there is a leadership cap on it or something?

Was it when you were fighting something with a nonstandard counterattack, like berserkers? They don't seem to follow the normal counterattack rules. Also, sometimes the tooltip will indicate a counterattack when it doesn't actually happen.

What the heck is with Eric? I mean, when I battle them, the game randomly crashes whenever I do some specific things, like casting snowstorm with my Soothsayers or attacking his bears, but I cannot foretell what will happen... I need to be a Soothsayer myself to be able to predict what will crash the game and what won't! This is seriously annoying.

Also, No-loss game is damn impossible if they put an enemy hero 5 levels higher then you on the first island who has to be fought to progress, and your only means of resurrection are Soothsayers. Seriously, he has 100 mana and casts Phantom blade or Poison cloud every turn.

Another bug.... apparently, the "homeopathy" thing works with the rabid state, huh? I used Loki's Rage to make some ancient bears Rabid, they attacked some wolves who retalieted and caused the bears to be Rabid again - I got the message "Ancient Bears overcame their fit of Rage" twice in the text bar, and the state "Rabid" got removed, despite the condition lasting 2 turns.

Sorry for very late reply - I am using a ATI HD 5850 with latest drivers that just game out 3 days ago.
