The award claims to increase the damage of Jarls, Warrior Maidens, Berserkers and Slingers (just those 4, not all vikings) by 10/15/20%. I've confirmed that it doesn't do anything for all 4, at medal levels I and II. Haven't found enough enemy viking stacks to get it to level 3 yet.

Other bugs you haven't updated, each of which I've confirmed:

Berserkers do 4-7 + 3-5 damage when attacking, and 3-5 when retaliating. None of these are the 4-5 damage that the game claims they do. Since 3-5 is shown in their shock shield ability, the shown damage should be changed to 4-7.

Killing a stack with trap gives transmute mana twice

Engineers always burn when it should only happen 15% of the time (confirmed to a p-value of <10^-16, anyway).

Found a new bug scanning the items.txt file in the ses.kfs file. (Running Patch 3)

The item 'Dragons Hunter's Shield' says '-20% damage from enemy dragons', but it reduces damage from all types of damage, except fire.

The reason is that the magic section was copied, but they forgot to replace magic with fire, as indicated below with red text.

Confirmation: I just verified this bug. The black dragon was doing the exact same damage to my troop wheather I used this shield or another shield that also provided +2 Defense.

I'm also super sad that items are being generated for the other INACCESSIBLE half of Demonis, making it harder to get some troops/items.

I had a good game roll, but the demons I wanted to use only spawned in an inaccessible area. They need more static spawn points to ensure you dont' need to re-roll games to have a fulfilling experience.

The 3 troll for the spider bit was a great idea! They need a few more things like that.

If they could also make it so the first island wasn't such a russian roulette for Viking Class, that would be great too.

I'd start by making it so NO enemy hero can nuke you on the first island. Either that or give me jarls/warrior maidens.

Or give the Viking the healing spell. Rage skills do not scale up enough damage (or make Viking Rage level 1 much stronger).

Just added/edited the bugs from ckdamascus, the ones I missed from dainbramage and the one ivra just reported. Thanks for pointing those out for me, guys.

Do you think we're gonna get a new patch? o_O

You got it quite wrong, Sir: Thank YOU for compiling this list.

It is very convenient to just look at the first post of this thread when I encounter something strange to see if it is already a known issue. Keep up the good work!

Yeah, hopefully we will get a new patch soon. There is certainly no lack of things to fix...

[ckdamascus]

What I am really hoping for is... some monster patch that opens up the other half of Demonis and for the ending to be slightly expanded [don't want to throw in spoilers] but let's say MEOW would be a good way to sum it up!?!

I mean, I could have asked for the Marshan Swamps but that would be a bit too much, and as ivra pointed out, thanks a lot man! Honestly, without this list I think a lot of us would have been very disheartened and confused by this release.

Furthermore, I usually check the russian forums and it seems like we were ahead! They were referring to the "english forums" for the "quick patches" HAH! Imagine that?!?!

You`re kidding me right ???

Not really bugs, but some things missed in items.txt i found :
- griffon_banner , griffon_feather , wing_wind , exorcist_necklace picture_griffin_king missing griffin spirit unit for bonus.
- dragonslayer_shield there is x2 -20% magic resistance , and no -fire%
- knight_boots , knight_armor missing paladin unit for bonus
- banner_true_faith missing lds bonus, now this item is much weaker then ancient_amulet / gladiator_sword
- telescopic-sight , set_krit no axethrower or slinger unit for bonuses (goblins and catapults, faun are listed)
- ogre_club missing jotun for bonus
- young_mask doesnt work because bonus is on wrong place : pbonus=health,0,0,7,-100,0,0 should be pbonus=health,0,7,0,-100,0,0
- _sling why are goblins here ?
- dragon_eye missing emerald green dragons for penalty
- wormgear and worm_gear_fake are this correct ? or should be worm_gear
- dragon_armor missing bone dragons.

This was reported a month ago (post #167 on this tread) no1 implemented it in 2 patches since then.
Not to mention rest of missed things i listed there.
Wtf is bugs tread for if you ppl dont check for reported problems by players. This shouldnt even be option, it`s not our job to fix things for you.

@Fatt Shade
Please don't attack camelotcrusade. He is one of us just like you: A gamer trying to contribute to making this game better. This thread is now 80+ pages and it is quite human to miss something.

You got quite a list of bugs there. I think they should be included on the first page. Thanks for letting us know. I have not followed this thread from the beginning so I missed your post too.
