Shield of Rekcross is bugged when it randomly chooses the dragon to be ice dragon, the text is bugged, and if you try to extract the dragon the game crashes.

Thanks guys. Updates. Edited for more updates.

*Added Runic Staff has ranged penalty to Rune Mage in Units
*Added Christa's Gift Lv1 rarely affecting a Lv3 enemy to Valkyries
*Added Skald "no target" bug. Skalds might win the buggiest unit award. Or is it the rune mage?

Added to Units
*Clarified sense weakness bonus bug with new information in Skills
*Added Timeless Spell may not actually work to Spells
*Added blocked secret passage in Verlon wasteland catacombs to Maps
*Added spoiler alert for Gudrila's quest dialog to Text
*Added Shield of Rekcross + Ice dragon crash to Items

@DGDobrev oops, I should have clarified I meant they are taking Christa's gold when they level 3.
@tiberiu I like your skald popup theory so I will mention it in the bug entry
@Everybody commenting on slow, appreciate the info. I'm not suggesting it should immobilize enemies, just reporting what the description on level 3 slow says (and bugging it because it's not doing this).

We're still debating whether shackle unable to affect necromancers is a bug. Something seems fishy, feel free to weigh in.

Either the 'fear' spell has been changed, or it doesn't work as expected.

I feared a large stack of level 1 slingers, and had the stack attack my Ice Dragon immediately after. Normally fear would prevent it from making offensive actions (though it can retaliate) to higher level enemies. Might have to test on other ranged units to see if it is a 'shooter' bug.

I thought fear said they can only attack units which are equal to or lower level than they are. I haven't had ice dragons yet... is it a summon that's actually level 1?

Fear does say that, and normally it works that way. But for some reason, this slinger completely ignored that restriction.

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.

O.o Sounds like its time to pop open Fear and look for the loophole. Plus I have no idea how to look up individual unit parameters to see if slingers are special. Do you know how?

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.

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.
