[.983 Bug] Storm dragons have a few problems

from Elemental Forums

I got my very first storm dragon on the weekend, very cool.  Almost a bit OP, but very cool.  The problem is that they cast fear in the first turn and after that they can move, but no attack icons come up.  I have to hit space bar to skip its first turn and next turn I can use its attack abilities.  This happens for me in every battle.

 

Also, when you use the sweep attack, it takes about 10 seconds after the tail moves before the damage + animation on enemies occurs.

 

And when the AI uses storm dragons, they don't use its abilities.  I had a storm dragon surrounded by 5 melee units.  It should have used sweep, but it was just attacking a single unit at a time.  It also never used the fire attack.  Of course if it was using its abilities, I would have never taken it down, so I'm not sure I should complain :)

The missing attack bar after autocast spells is supposed to be fixed in .984.

The delay on sweep was reported yesterday, so hopefully it's on the developer's list, although I've seen no confirmation of that.  But thanks for confirming the report, that's at least 3 of us who have seen it.

Was the dragon that didn't use its abilities a solitary beast, or part pf an AI army?  I've seen single dragons use fire breath but not sweep.  I've never been unlucky enough to encounter one in an army.

The dragon was in an army.  Markin had 3 storm dragon factories.  It was a bit hairy there for a while.  That's why I was pretty happy they weren't using their abilities!

Well, once I managed to capture one of the storm dragon lairs, it was game over for Markin.  A single level 17 storm dragon single handedly took down about 10 of his cities.  That's why I commented that they are a wee bit OP.
