[.952][Bug] Enemy army destroyed with strategic spell doesn't die

September 5, 2012 8:03:45 AM from Elemental ForumsElemental Forums

So I cast Firestorm then Pillar of Flame on an enemy army during the same turn, and the last spell leaves the army with 0/142 HP. but they don't die. The next turn they just heal and when I look at them only a couple of units disappeared. I have repeated the process the next turn and the same thing happened.

Here's the save game. Just cast Firestorm on the Ogre's Army near Medden's Cross to see the bug.

Known bug for the last several beta releases.  As the next beta is supposed to do a lot of bug cleanup, I suspect this particular annoyance will vanish.  I really don't like having to kill something, quit, and reload, or watch it regain HPs from 0 if the game's left alone.

I didn't know it was a known bug, I just got my beta 2 days ago. I very much enjoyed killing entire armies with strategic spells in War of Magic.

I have sometime similar with poison in tatical combat. I smoke the guy and bring him down to 1 hp. I move on to the next guy, expecting the poison to finish him off....except that it doesn't....I wipe out all the other 6 guys....must of been 20+ turns...this guy is just moving around attacking as if he had full hp....why doesn't he die? So, I eventually killed him...but poison should be fixed.

As far as the guys taking strategic damage that brings them down to 0 hp and they do not die, we do have that fixed here at the office.  

But for the tactical poison effect not killing, that's the first I've heard of it.  GfireflyE, are you sure that guy wasn't immune to poison or have some kind of heal charm?  Any other details you can give me would be appreciated.
