Something is definitely up with fear. Just had a stack of feared orc catapults fire on my soothsayers (level 3 attacking level 4). As with the other case, no appropriate level units were available for it to attack (all my armies are level 4). I am also wondering if the unit has to be ranged for this to happen, as I'm pretty sure I've seen melee troops just pass their turns under these conditions.

Same thing happened to me a lot of times, especially when fighting wolves - I even took a screenshot. My slingers were still able to attack the enemy bears, when they shouldn't have...

Are the units using skills? I've noticed that the game often doesn't consider skills to be attacks for the purpose of what unit the AI can use something on.

^ What Loopy said. Skills seem unaffected by Fear. Makes it a bit less useful.

The ice dragon is a normal level 5 unit. 2200 Leadership no less!

Also, I tried the fight two times, and once the slingers attacked the icey, and once they attacked the Emerald Green dragon.

Can you PM me that save? I've found the code to determine what a feared unit can attack, but I don't have a good sample to test with.
