Thank you to BenSt88 and terrypchan for the answers.

One more possible bug. I found in my inventory two kegs of rum, associated to the quest Special Offer (given on Eastern Freedom Island). Previously I already brought the quest giver another 6 kegs (for magic runes or crystals or whatever) and there were still pirated to be killed around the Freedom islands. Now all the pirates are dead, there are no more kegs to be found and the quest is - surprise, surprise - not completed. Is this a bug (it makes sense that at least one other keg should've been found on one of the remaining pirates), is it associated to a certain patch or is that how things are supposed to go (doubtful, as you get in your log a quest that cannot be completed)?

There should be a dialogue message after you fulfill one of the volleys of "rum returning" that says "I'm done getting barrels for you" and it seals the quest into completion.

I don't think you can do anything about the spare barrels of rum in your inventory though after that.

With the latest version I get a crash when Spear of Wrath kills a unit that is in sheep form... tried on many units and the result is always the same

+ Magic Missile doesn't add bonus vs. Archmages although they're mages

Are you sure you're not just seeing the archmage's 50% magic resistance in action there?

Must be because of the change that returns units back to their normal form when killed. Don't really know why they felt that was nessesary, but I'm not all that surprised it causes issues with some abilities. It might be the case with all kills that create clusters of rage / mana.

Hey guys - I have time to make a few more updates then I'll be gone for a week for the holidays. I'll catch up when I get back.

I looked through the pages since my last update and I only found this one for the latest build (another one might have been an earlier build):

• With the latest version I get a crash when Spear of Wrath kills a unit that is in sheep form... tried on many units and the result is always the same

I don't recognize that ability, so someone could tell me where it comes from (valkyrie, hero skill, spell) I'll try and get that posted before I leave. And if I missed anything else, please let me know.

Its the Battle Maidens first ability.

I use the warrior maidens all the time and I cast the sheep spell a lot. Never had a problem killing stacks of sheep while using the "spear of wrath" from the warrior maidens. Literally hundreds of kills with this exact combo.

K, I did some thorough testing on the bug I reported in the Paper for the Professor quest. Please change my report to the following: if you save after accepting the quest but before getting the paper and you reload that save, the quest log will NOT be updated when you get the paper and the quest cannot be completed. Also, like the other guy mentioned, it's possible to only have the option to refuse to pay that much gold for paper but you end up getting it anyway. Oh and yes, the professor's dwelling does not get the flag with rotating glowing particles above it indicating the quest can be turned in when it can. The last one applies to all of his quests.

No bug in the end, I went back on a whim to talk to the quest giver and there was a new dialogue option, along the lines of "I'm sick of carrying your rum for you" (a feeling that I can certainly relate to ). Once selected, it completes the quest and you also get rid of the extra kegs.
