[1.08 Bug] Magic attack missing bug

What spells were you using? What's your intelligence score? What are the stats on the monsters you were attacking?

I had a similar issue.  Leader has int of 14 was using lighting, missed a bear 2atk 1def every time.  Was a custom sov, if that makes a difference.

Same problem, leader 15 Int, no shard, using flame dart.

Okay, the guilty party is bugfix mod 2.2b. Erase it, and magic will work.

Same issue; 21 intelligence, tried using Blizzard and Lightning to no avail.  Fighting Magnar, early game units.

I'm replaying this battle from last night (forgot to save afterwards) and what was a routine 3-turn kill before the patch has turned into a nearly unwinnable battle because my Sov just can't land a hit.

i have int of 26 and essence of 32 and using every long range attack. single or area tactical spell

Make sure you've erased any mod you were using.

not using any mod only updated.

Are you going from a saved game from a previous version or is this on a new game?

It s a game i started a day before the last patch.

I only finished up to now one game because every time I patched something went wrong.

e.g. I patched from 1.6 to 1.7, then  the save game wasn t loadable.

It sucks a bit if you have to start a new game everytime you put up a new patch, when you are in the middle of an interesting game of epic length.

This is the problem...I had the same thing.  You can't expect stardock to take that mod into account when updating the game.

then tell me where to go to find that mod. I CAN T FIND IT and i don t have installed any mods.

The other thing is that monster skills have a 100% hit rate and 100% critical rate.

Saves contain all xml data from the time the game was started, so patch changes relating to data won't be present until you start a new game.

Yeah, the issue seems to be with the bugfix mod and icecrown's "pretty spells" mods.  I deleted both and spells work fine now for me.

I am running stock, unmodded and I am getting the exact same thing. First game was a reload of a 1.07 save, missed every time. I had one unit with 4 spell casters 15+ mana, INT no lower than 16, every single spell was a miss in four rounds of combat.

I started a new game, researched up to flame dart/lightning bolt. Exact same behavior with 14 INT on lvl 1 monsters.

I am using a custom sovereign, as are some of the posters above.

I don't have any mods installed, so that's definitely not the only cause of the issue.

Same Problem here, no mods installed, but the magic keeps missing. starting a new game gives the same results. tried all the difrent spell books but anny dirict dammage spell misses evry single time.

cuculhainn & middeldorp, could either of you post your custom sovs xml files and or save games? Use dropbox or similar service to share the files

We figured out the problem with loading old saved games, and it's a logic mismatch between old data and new code. The new game problem is more concerning, and if that's reproducible with or without a custom sovereign I'd like to hear how you guys are getting it.

Ok, after testing, the bug is reproducible. The bug seems to be that custom sovereigns created under 1.07 are broken, and will have their magic miss consistently.

I tried different sovereigns all created under 1.07, all had the same behavior. I created a new sovereign under 1.08, and everything worked. So the bug seems to be the patch creating issues moving over from the older code to the new in regards to sovereigns.

So the fix is to create a new sovereign under 1.08 and it all works.

going to butt in here.  i used a 1.07 custom sovereign and was hitting with magic everytime.  so while it may be relevant, it is not THE cause.

I am also experiencing this problem... with a stock sov in a new game with no mods. I did try to load a 1.07 game up prior to starting a new game, if that makes a difference.

I'm having this issue as well. After 1.08, 100% of my tactical damage spells will not work. I invaded an enemy city with 4 magic users all level 8 or higher, with some troops, total attack power being 1200. I attacked their 600 attack power stationed army and almost got decimated as none of my spells would hit. Every single one of them missed.

I am seeing the same thing and I'm beginning to agree that it must be custom sovs from previous versions. I started a new game tonight and used a sov that I had saved from before. 100% miss rate. For what it's worth, this applies to any champions imbued as well.

On a quick side not, if this is the problem, is there a way to delete old custom sovs?

right-click the Sovereign gets you option to delete
