[Bug] flame wave, wildlands and invulnerable enemies

from Elemental Forums

I tried playing though a large map today.  I ran into three problems.  First, the flame wave (tactical spell that hits all enemies) stopped causing damage.  I tried several times, but it never began to work again.  Next, the winter and earth wildlands refused to disappear.  I had cities on three sides of each, and had scouted around.  I found no quest tiles, no monsters, and had defeated the elemental in each.  Abeix also was bugged.  He used fear and then my army and him just sat and looked at each other, saying it was his turn.  The third bug made tactical combat go strange.  An enemy would be reduced to 0 hp, but would still be present in the side bar.  This would cause the battle to stop as the computer tried to find the unit.  The only work around i could find was to auto-resolve, which wasn't bad because i was playing a game to experiment with, so the ai wasn't a challenge, but if i had been facing an evenly matched opponent, this would have really broken the game.

Sorry for the long post, and keep up the good work.

The post is not long at all, just needs some line-breaks, also https://forums.elementalgame.com/363846 is a few pointers to how to improve your bug reporting, so the developers can improve they're bug squashing :D

if it is repeatable through a savegame, the developers would LOVE to see the savegame through a similar device to "Dropbox". If you want to bother going a little further to help them of course ;).
I would recommend line breaking in between the separate bugs, makes the post seems a lot smaller :D

I had a temporary issue with the flame wave spell similar to what you just described.  It remained broken until I exited the game and reloaded the saved game, at which point it returned to working normally.

Abeix has had the same issues for me.  I'm not sure he's fully implemented yet.

I haven't seen the third one yet, however I have noticed that combat is finicky.  Sometimes you get a crash right after an attack hits, or a spell goes off.

I have experienced all three of these bugs too.

You might be better off posting this in FE Support and splitting it up into three postings with the title like:

[BUG][.912] Flame Wave Broken . . . etc

That will give you a better change of being noticed by the devs and getting a response for each bug separately.
