Hmm, that could be the case, it doesn't display the abilities if they don't have the adrenaline for them. That's a bad way of doing it, imo, because if you are looking at the enemy to see what they might hit you with, you want to know that they have abilities they just can't use at that exact moment.

Ok, so for the Orc Hunter, you used the Training ability on an enemy stack? Or you used Wild Call to summon a stack?

For the Orc Hunter, I tested control animal on a stack of 34 bears and they behaved just like hypnotize, then I made sure they didn't die. In the meantime, I got into combat and got enough rage to use Wild Call, which I used to successfully summon 43 bears. Then, once Training wore off, I couldn't use the huters to attack anymore (just get a ? cursor) so they could only defend or wait.

Edit:

I was wrong about how I listed the bug... what's happening is that adrenaline abilities disappear from the info screen and use menus when orcs don't have enough adrenaline to use them. You can see them out of combat just fine. The reason I thought the Orc Hunter was special was because he was my first unit. He was getting all the extra rage from that bug which funnels rage into the first orc intead of dividing it up among all the orcs, so that is why I could always read his stuff.

Wild call is also not what I thought. Those bears I summoned are life-linked both ways with the Orc Hunters. So when the summon gets hurt, half damage goes to them and half goes to the hunter. Is that how it worked in KB:AP? I thought the link only proc'ed when the Hunters got hit, not the other way around. The way it is now you should just hide your summons and use them for a life bag. It also doesn't show the life link damage in the combat log, and I think the life link only procs once per round. Aargh.

And for everyone else:

@Pucemoose, haven't seen a persistent chaos dragon workaround yet. But let us know if casting another wanderer spell cancels it.
@oas, I think all those upgrade bugs are a result of using patch-compatible .lua or .kfs files with an unpatched game. Remove all those and it should upgrade normally.
@Xargon, yes that's reported. Never thought of the griffon only affecting units of level 1-3, that could be the intention rather an omitting the high level units. I'll make a note of it.
@Oji thanks again for the info how to get that viking award to go up, I did update the bugs thread.

yep, as soon i deleted the files and updated with patch (and installed again the fixes) I was able to.

About the Valhalla's Messenger Award I tried a few more times probably must be one-hit KO. I still have 6/10

By the way, after defeating the soothsayer can I buy more vikings in Greenwort(to gain the medal)?

Try finishing off a stack with the Viking shield bash and let me know if that works. And I found one place to sell vikings after Greenwort, but really you can get a ship later and sail back to buy them from wherever you got them on the first couple islands.

Hello Guys ,

Was reading the bugs section but could not find this game breaking bug.

!! SPOILERS !!
--------------------

After I battle all the undead heroes (with my allies ) but I did NOT fight Eric yet , I lost ALL my spells from the spellbook . I am a mage , around level 50 so it makes me unable to complete the story . I still have all the scrolls , I can transform them into spells with crystals but all my old spells are gone .
Trying to replace all my spells from scrolls would take a HUGE amount of time so I was wondering if there is a fix for this (or where are the entries for the spells , I know my way around editors and still remember some C++ )

Didn't read the entire thread, but I'm having major crashes on one of the dragon shops (where you fight dragons to get access to a shop). For some reason after the first round whenever I try damage the ice dragons (direct melee, rage or indirect / trap) the game crashes.
Seems to be monster related....
I hope a fix will follow.

Dwarven Love quest crash:

New Kordar
You get a quest from a dwarf that is in love with Freolina, a demoness.
When you talk to Freolina, she bring on a battle and the game crash to desktop immediatly.

I got cannoneer, ranger, fairy, bowmen and black unicorn, but this squad has never given problem before.

I didn't get at this point yet, but if you got all the scroll and the only thing you need are crystals, then you can use Cheat Engine.

Simply start the game, ALT+TAB and Open Process, select KBWoTN executable and into Value field put the number of crystals you got at the moment and click First Scan.
Then return to game and spend some crystals. Return to Cheat Engine and imput the new crystal value, click Next Scan.
Do this again until a single value on the left is shown, double click this value and Add Selected Address then select the new entry in the lower tab, click spacebar and modify the desired value to 20.

This way you always get 20 crystals, no matter what you spend.

Of course i didn't test this, the game may crash, so make a spare save just in case and don't put a value bigger than FF (255)


Or... i can give my save and you can extrapolate the full spellbook (if you can, dunno never tryed out)

Hope it help

Hi,

I have registered because this nasty bug also happened to me. After fighting Eric's last ally, I lost all my spells. Luckily I was playing Skald and on normal difficulty so I didn't need the spells.

I suspect that the bug happens because of fighting Eric & friends with the minimum number of allies - without getting Xeona to help. Because all of Eric's friends are meant to be fought with allies and with a different spell book, then the game alters your spell book after the fight. This is my best guess anyway.
