[.914] Bug: Unit won't die?

from Elemental Forums

Was playing along in .914 and came across an Empire champion (un-recruited), named Nosmina. Killed Nosmina, and found him (or her, not really sure) to still be on the map. I didn't have any movement points left, so next turn I killed him two more times, thinking maybe he had some ability that unless killed twice in same turn the unit survived. Was getting exp every kill, after about 2 or 3 more tries, I gave up not wanting to suck easy exp with such an exploit. Anyone else seen anything similar to this?

By the way Nosmina was not getting any injuries, nor using any type of escape spells, I was definitely getting clean kill shots.

Guess I should add that the army is _not_ remaining with Nosmina, it is just the champion. Also, immediately after the fight, Nosmina has 1 HP, but does within a few turns heal back up to full 36 HP he started with.

I've encountered the exact same issue with her. Not sure if it's intentional or not.

I've killed a few Empire heroes who subsequently appeared on the map, but were unselectable.

I remember seeing something similar in 0.912 where I would kill a champion and their "ghost" would remain on the map. Haven't had a chance to play 0.914 yet, though.

Yeah, same thing, same champion. Killed her quite a few times, my new strategy is to wipe out all the Empire players before they can hire her!

This is happening with my Sov lmao. He soloed the epic wildlands umberdroth army at 6. What items does she have when you see her? I have a theory that the shield my sov is using is the cause of this bug.

I had same issue as OP.  It's not the old 'ghost' thing - Nosima was running around after I killed her, trashing my nodes & outposts.  After killing her many times in combat, I finally killed her with an overland spell -- that worked.

Ran into same issue, new game, different computer.

Have a list of items, abilities this time as well:

Items: Balanced Axe, Leather Cuirass, Leather Helm, Ghost Shield, Riding a Ravenous Harridan

 

Abilities: Wraith Blood, Air Apprentice, Earth Apprentice, Water Disciple, Evoker, Path of the Mage

 

After restarting, I did finally kill Nosmina this time. After killing once, I used pillar of flame to do some damage, then attacked again and Nosmina stayed dead this time.

Ghost shield is the one that heals you for 1 health when you are hit right? My Sov had the same item when he refused to die and I am almost positive it is the cause.

 

Edit: The bug probably works something like. You get hit and go down to 0 health, battle ends BUT you get healed 1 health so you don't die.

Saw this bug earlier today though didn't get to save it:

 

I win a battle, but one of my champions die ( 2 champ stack)

 

Both of my champs go back to my capital, one gets a wound.  Otherwise normal.
