[BUG][0.77] Escape weirdness

from Elemental Forums

Escape seems to have some problems (both the spell and the scroll).

Right after using Escape, your army often reappears on the strategic map right on top of the enemy. That is, your army and the enemy army sharing the same tile, one of them invisible.

Also, using the Escape Scroll can bring your mana below zero (the scroll seems to use mana just like the spell). Having negative mana allows you to cast tactical spells without limit, as reported here.

Sorry, no save game, but it should be easy to reproduce.

Not sure if it still happens in 0.77 but if one of your champions dies before you cast escape, you lose that champion.

It also says it brings you to your city, and the description includes hearing the sounds of the city, but ya, doesn't do that.

Yes, even if the Escape scroll brings you back to your capital (and doesn't cost mana) and the Escape spell exits battle and moves you an adjacent square, it does need to be fixed.

Ive done the negative mana thing.

the mana thing should be fixed in the next patch, do you know anything more about when you are using escape and it's putting you in the same tile? I cant reproduce it, wondering if it's escaping in a certain situation?  is it a quest?  did you attack?  they attack? ect...

Okay, I think I got it.

 

1. Pick any quest with combat. I used the Slavers quest, but I suppose any other would work the same.

2. Move your army to the tile where the fight is. When the pop-up appears, choose the option to start the fight.

3. Cast escape. You will return to the world map.

4. The army you just escaped from will spawn on the same tile as you.
