[Bug] [LH 1.3] Map completely visible (Savegame included)

Bug reported in 1.3 Beta, Still exists in 1.3 Released

Without any reason the strategical map has suddenly become completely visible, and has been like that for a couple of turns.

I suspect the new Ineluctable Vision spell has something to do with it.

But I certainly didn't cast the spell since I did not finish researching Third book of the Magi yet.
Also I don't have any allies or such who perhaps have cast it.

EDIT: The problem still exists in the official L.H. 1.3 release. I Played a completely new game and again the same thing happened...
EDIT2: Savegame included in one of my later replies in this theat.

That is a funny bug indeed.

I might suggest that the AI never cast the spell.

I've had this bug several times as well.

Odd, the AI priority for the IneluctableVision is set to -1. I wonder if it needs to be set to 0 instead.

it sounds like if an AI casts it, it reveals the map for everyone?

Of course no one is mentioning the fact that if you cast it then the AI can see the entire map as well. Not so much of a deal on the higher level AI's, but for low level (normal, challenging) they finally get to see everything as well. (Or I could be entirely wrong depending on the programming)

I get this bug every single game that I play.

But this time I have kept a savegame just before it happens.
I uploaded it at https://www.dropbox.com/s/0tzddfl4ba7loqz/Bug%20Strategical%20Map%20Visible.EleSav

Simply load the game and hit end turn to reproduce the problem.

I wonder if it is with the AI priority set to -1, here is a possible fix to see if this will correct your problem. Of course, it may be difficult to see if it is actually fixed.

All I did was change the <AIPriority> to 0 from -1. You only need to drop this into your mods folder (or if your are adventurous change the value from -1 to 0 yourself)

Parrottmath, your suggestion of changing AIPriority from -1 to 0 could very well be the solution. I just looked in the game data XML files and noticed that Ineluctable vision is the only spell/ability with AIPriority set to -1, whereas there are many with value set to 0.

With this information and especially the savegame I would think that the developers can easily fix it.

Thanks for the save!

And yes, Parrottmath is correct, setting it to 0 keeps it from casting the spell. It will be fixed in the next patch.
