This one is a bit weird - but i have a city surrounded and when the enemy attacks it a hero quite some distant away fights the battle. Kind of amusing in some ways but none the less this doesn't feel like proper behavior. I have a save of this one.

I have a save with them in my group; but not the turn that resulted them in being in my group. Unfortunately I've had so many crashes I started saving before just about each 'big' fight and blew away the save before thinking about it. I probably get crashes due to reloads but not sure - just speculation since no one else seem to be complaining about crashes; but at least one crash was without any saves (I think the dx error; i enter a city with about 15 defenders (didn't count so might be off) a

I took a city; then selected my army (5 members) to leave the city and the city archers and milita decided to tag along give me an amry of 12. I guess its ok as i could use the help but since this only happened once it doesn't quite seem normal.

When troll shaman cast barb spell upon my troup the # pops up with the damage BUT the health bar remains full.

Really just two comments. First I'm getting a lot of crashes (or hangs) in 0.992. Unfortunately they don't seem that reproduceable. I enter a city (for combat) and the game hangs. I wait 5 minute; then have to use task manager to kill and restart - i reload and the fight goes through. I play a while; enter a city and the game hangs.... (I wait 5 or 10 minutes just to make sure it really is not coming back. Once I had an error: DX Error: INvalid call. -- Also I think easy is not quite as easy

This has been one of the confusing aspects of the interface; you cannot use items in the trade window; you have to exit the trade window then type E to get the equipment interface and from there you can use items (mostly books but heal potions and stuff if you wish). - I have too many posts (request) for this feature I should shut up.

I would like to say thanks. The game is fun though I still think the UI could use a few tweaks (esp being able to use books in the trade menu) :) - Hope the campaign is long and involved !

Is 991 out (I just checked a few minutes ago and didn't see it). Also did they fix the bug where patches blow away mount points (i.e., is it safe to use the patch or should i reinstall the whole thing again) ?

Ok thanks. It just seems like there are a lot of little 'glitches' in the interface. There is also the things like 'books' that you cannot use while trading items - you can't easily switch to the equipment screen to use; you have to exit the screen completely and then enter the equipment screen and then switch back to the hero (if they are in a group) that has the book to use it. It's not a major deal but it just seems unnecessary long cut to get to tid bits of information. The rest of the game

[This comment is on active quests] On some of the quests if you click on them they will show you a spot on the map you should go to advance the quest; other quests nothing happen (because the objective is broader). It would be good if on these quests if it either redisplay the original text or display the objective that is required. This comment is mostly related to harder quests that might have been 'accidentally' triggered early in the game nad linger for a long period of time where

Bleh spent 30 minutes trying to login but had java script off and no error; just no login... Mostly just checking if 984 is out yet but i don't think it is - is it ?

Weird - i don't see it in 983. I do see active treaties but that's it - maybe they removed it or you have to enable some sort of debug mode ?

I saw a list but it said things like: Active Treaties: xxx yyy yyy - Foreighn Plicy race: war race: warm - I thought you meant it gave a list of reasons why they like/dislike YOU!

Where does it show the reason he likes/hate you ?

Frogboy do you know if they will fix the patch so it does not blow away mount points; or should we (i) install the full version (rather than the smaller patch) ?

In the game it simply said fail; if there is a log i'm unsure where to find it. The hero who can summon critter are those with the "Call Uteran" feat (I have Liniad in my party but i've seen others).

Will the fix the patch so it doesn't blow away mount points ?

I think this is a bug; one of my critter has the skill to summon animals (I'm not sure what you call the skill but it is the one that takes no mana). I'm not sure this is a normal spell that can be cancelled (since it uses no mana). If it is not; then the npc's try to cancel it via counter-spell (which always fail and therefore this post).

Jam3 -- While I agree there *might* be a core issue with how elemental makes decision; I do not agree it is related to this phrase: --- I think even further at the root of this problem was the mutli-threading deisgn philosophy. I think it was a great idea but anyone who has written any IPC (inter-process communications) code can tell you the signaling is incredibly complex, If you ever learned C and got really turned around by semaphores this is essentially whats going on but instead of m

I was going to edit my post but I can't; what I don't understand is that there was a comment by a developer that they might consider restricting when monsters can attack you (based on difficulty) but there also seems to be an implied difference in how monsters treat human players vs computer players (and I've noticed this myself where monsters will ignore computer players - in fact I used to try to use monsters as a method to keep computer players in check with absolute no success). What I fa

I wanted to quote the above post [I haven't gotten a crash since 980]. I've gotten a couple of crashes with 983; aslo the 983 'patch' blew away my mount point causing a bit of a head-ache while I fixed it; so the patch installer itself is very buggy (in an annoying way). Also while I found 980 quite easy (on hard); I find 983 too difficult (even on easy) so if it were released in 983 condition I would be a bit unhappy. The basic problem (as others have reported) (there is a post with almost a ve

I have windows 7 64 bit; when I installed the .83 patch it blew away my mount point (mounted disk). For whatever reason when I setup my system I had two disks; one became C and one was mounted under C (hind-site i would have just made it D). I installed my games on this second disk. WHen I installed the .983 patch; it blew way this mount point instead of installing the files in the game path. Sadly I'm a linux person and not a windows person so I have no clue how this happened or what fo

In many quests if you click on the quest box on the right hand side (after taking the quest) it will show a location you are suppose to go; but some of the quests have no such 'location' to travel but rather an objective. It would be very helpful if when you click on the quest it either shows the objective or redisplay the original description. -- It would also be useful is quest points showed up on the cloth map so you can easily find them all (well the ones you've discovered). A 'black' star

It would be nice if you could put markers on the map (labels with some text)...

There seems to be a generic problem with placement of objects. I've encountered several objects (green icon) and quests which are broken becauase you can't reach them. The latest one (quite annoying) was the ancient battle field. THe problem is that it is placed next to a river and I can't reach it. I can't use lower/raise land because they won' t work on the river. So naturally i can't complete the quest. There was a second quest broken but due
