It seems as though groups of creatures with the Throwing Knives ability (Bandit groups), when they go to use their knives, the game hangs for 20-30 seconds, and then moves along without inflicting any apparent damage. So far over two games, that has a 100% occurrence rate with Groups of 3 bandits.
Just saw this, forgot. Three single units, one leader (forget the type) and 2 bandits with knives. The first one threw the knife and I think I dodged...not sure but it did something. The second one had to move a couple spaces then threw it. I saw the pause, but I figured it to be related to the current - ranged attacks leave and come back from the left side of the screen - bug. But it took a little longer than usual, I thought I had missed it. I zoomed out and eventually it was my turn but no hit/dodge, no animation (other than seeing the bandit throwing).
To be fair, even when they do work, it does 4 piercing damage... so even if you don't have much armor it almost always does 1 damage. It's kind of pointless if you ask me. You could have just picked up a random rock and throw it for that much.
There are better uses for it than others. It allows casters to do something when you don't want to spend mana to finish off an enemy, and it can kill fast trash in the hands of an assassin.
It also makes groups of Neutral faction Bandits waste actions by trying to use an ability which hangs and then does nothing.
First thought: depends on your blunt defense. I need a small break!
The game hangs also when groups of fire shrills use the ember spell.
