I guess we need feedback from one of the devs as this is turning into a mess any luck with the lua files?i suspected arena.lua but no luck

I found out why Ice Snakes does not heal Ice Minions or Ice Spiders - this is not in the spell description, but according to spells.txt, only the middle cell receives Cold damage, the neighbouring cells receive Physical damage. Also, Winter Dance does Physical damage, too... oddly.

Oh trust me, this was worse last November. At least the game doesn't crash in every battle now... (I'm being sarcastic, of course). But then again, this is a common trend these days, releasing half-finished strategy games. Look at HOMM VI... I'm sorry to admit that my countrymen made that game, to their defense, Ubisoft pushed them for an early release and basically neutered their game ideas.

A new bug, and thankfully, a revelation that one "bug" from my above list is not a bug at all...

- Oddly, the Jarl's talent Encouragement doesn't work on Ice Minions. They are Level 2, and the Magic Immunity should not be a problem since other Talents work on them fine...

-As stated above, I found out that Ice Snakes does Cold damage in the center, and Physical in the 6 hexes next to it. What I now realized is that yes, you can use it to heal Ice Dragons, Ice Minions, Ice Spiders and the Ice Ball - despite them being Magic Immune (save for Ice Spiders), but the spell will only let you target them if they are damaged already. See attached screenshot - the Ice Dragons will be healed for the damage they have suffered, but the Ice Minions standing next to them will be hurt because the splinters inflict Physical damage.
Sadly the spell doesn't resurrect Ice Creatures, only heals them, but hey, still there is a way to heal your Ice Dragons now, right?

As much as i'm pissed by all the bugs i just love this game...note to devs:please fix it and give us more Kings bounty love in this and future titles

[mcpilz]

They re not fixing it,i bet, last update was January...
Is it so hard to just make a bugfix patch? dont know if ill buy future KB games

Why should they bother if the fans are doing it for free? See also Age of Wonders... they only made 2 patches, then abandoned it, fans made like, 5 patches since then.

It's a testament that a game is basically good if us gullible chaps are investing our hard-earned leasure time to fixing it. I'm admitting, I am just as guilty as many others of this. Maybe if we sat back and made a promise not to buy their next game unless they ensure there are no bugs... But frankly, I could probably not restrain myself from buying it...

The game is indeed bugged and sometimes infuriating, but its so damn fun that one may overlook its shortcomings over its good points
