Bug (1.2) - after i cast fireball, enemy is treated as friendly

from Elemental Forums


I have been casting mostly fireball, and quite frequently afterwards, I cannot target the enemy with a normal attack anymore, because it is treated as friendly although it has a red bar over it. Infrequently, the battle stagnates and I have to reload because the enemy is treated as one of my units (it is highlighted, but I cannot do anything with it, including passing my turn, so the battle is unresolveable).

Verfickt!

It's after any spell now actually. Not 100% all the time, but any damage spell from my sovereign now ruins combat. Not sure if there is a prerequisite, but something is screwing it up. Argh

Clean out all mods and see if it still happens. If you've messed with the core xml files, delete them and tell Steam to verify game cache.

I've never used any mods. Ever. 

I'm wondering if Focus is bugged. I've only found this in my current game, and I have been using Focus. Trying to find out what causes it, because it is not all the time, only frequently.

A similar situation can occur, if you look at the stats of the enemy unit before the turn is switched from the enemy's turn to your turn. (By the way have you tried to run the auto-run button to circumvent the bug)

The "toggle to auto-play" does not work when this bug is active, but the "auto-resolve the rest of battle" button does work, the result of which is invariably my entire army dying.

It always seems to be some brood hunter in the back who is treated as friendly. No matter what I do.

I wasnt able to reproduce it by casting focus and then fireball with my sovereign.  If you are able to repro it I'd love to check out a save of the issue occuring.

I'd try to send you a save, but currently something seems very broken, I all of my turns ended in a client crash, and then I think I pushed the wrong button after a crash and asked Steam to download files from its cloud to my computer, now nothing of that game works.
