[.913] [Bug] Dead sovereign gaining xp

from Elemental Forums

I fought a battle where my sovereign died, having several soldiers by his side. After his death i clicked the autocalc-button, got back to the strategic map and saw the combat result. My army won without any more losses.

Result Screen shows: Sovereign lost all but one hitpoints and got the XP. Sovereign was also able to move around and didnt port into nearest city.

If you finish the battle by yourself, the sovereign gets ported to the next city and is immobilized, autobattle does the trick.

 

This can be reproduced, tried it several times with different enemies.

Dead Sovereign is game over, what you try to said, sovereign still alive, not dead but stuck in city and rest in city for time of turn. so this is not bug, sovereign is only dead if there is no city left to keep him safe, and if he had a last city, he had to fight to alive.

If come down to last player's city and enemies fight last city, but people can't use sovereign or had to wait many turn might cause game no fun, and no chance to fight back from samll nation to large nation of armires.

Yes, with "died" i meant "fell below 0 hp" as in "fell on the ground after getting hit and vanishing from battlefield". Sorry if i wasn't clear enough with what i meant.

 

So basically, its like that (for example):

Army A: Sovereign, 2 Militias

Army B: Widow

Sovereign runs in front, fights against widow. Widow beats him till he falls. After that, you can do two things: either finish the widow with the militias yourself or press the autocalc-button to end the fight. Lets say you win either way. What happens next?

You fought yourself: Unit gets transported to next city, Militias get XP, Sovereign immobilized for x turns, and of course you loose mana.

You pressed the autocalc: Sovereign survived the battle with one hp(the screen shows he lost (HPbeforebattle-1), got xp, stands on the same tile he was before, maybe has moves left(if he should have without dieing). No manaloss, no teleport.

 

Is that better to understand?
