[.915][BUG]Killing a monster with strategic spells only reduces hit points to 0

I used pillar of flame to reduce a hoarder spider's army to "death".  as in, all the spiderlings were 0 health, but still showing there.  I then attacked the stack and they appeared in the battle.

During the tactical battle, they would attack once then die straight away.

World difficulty: Ridiculous.

this has already being reported. And this is not limited to .915. It was also in 914.

That's interesting.  Because it never happened to me in .914, ever.  I have killed entire stacks in .914 and earlier with pillar of flame and the stack would dissappear completely (like it should).

Do you have a link to the .914/other bug report of the same?  I want to see what similarities there are.

never seen armies survive pillar of flame in 914, it was useful to get rid of these pesky roamers

Is Tidal Wave doing damage in .915?  I used it several times and it didn't seem to do anything.  I even tried it one time on Fire Elementals thinking it might work well against them, but other than the animation I didn't notice anything different about them.  0 health lost.

I was using PoF regularly and successfully in .914 to protect my territory.  Never once had it reduce a unit to 0 hit points, then leave the unit alive. 

 

However, if you save, quit, and reload the game, the monster with 0 hit points will be gone.

I haven't tried tidal wave in .915 yet.  Will have to check this weekend if I have time.

I've seen tidal wave do damage in 0.915 and also seen pillar of flame reduce a troll to 0 hit points without removing it, Sov attacked it and killed it again in tactical combat. Also seen killed champions of opposite alignment stay on the world map, non interactive until a save/reload when they are properly gone.
