The damage reports in combat are screwed up for me. For example, when my sovereign with 23 intelligence uses arcane arrow, that should do 75% or caster's intelligence in damage, against a bear, it shows I'm doing 5 damage. That's not exactly 75% of 23, but to make it worse the bear only takes 2 damage! The bear had 1 magic resistance, so that shouldn't really factor in, right? Also I got this brigand archer as a reward for city leveling up and when he shoots someone, it always shows him doing 6 damage (number 6 flashes on top of the target), but the damage he actually does varies hugely. Sometimes he does nothing, and it still shows 6 Anyone else noticed this kind of stuff? As far as I've seen it's only ranged attacks (bows and magic), melee works fine.

So is the thing I reported also related to the dodge? If so it is very confusing at the moment, I'd like it more if it displayed something like "dodge!" on top of the target instead of the damage (not) done. Also dodging magic arrows doesn't quite seem right.

Yes they tie up 5 people each though.

I thought it was cool.  Not only you have the attack versus defense, but you also have some that can come off because of a partial dodge.  Like I swing at you and am at your head, but you dodge enough that I just get your arm or something.

I like it, give more depth to battles. If it is a bug I'd like it to be incorporated in the battles. Instead of just a bland attack vs defense, and I thought dodge was to do that, what it is doing.

OK, you have a range to roll in both attack and defense.  Blah bland.  having the dodge factor in there too to me is fun, makes it interesting and even lower defense versus overpowered attack has a chance at luck.  My attack is 20 and your defense is 5, pretty blah, but throw in there the chance of dodging, I think makes it interesting.

Again, I do not even now if it is a bug or working as intended, but I like it. Less armored or more agile units have a beeter chance at doging, and not just an all or nothing factor either, but partially too. Me likey.

Yes, it's still on the caster's "Enchants" tab as it was in 1.09e. You can drop the spells by clicking on them. Now that they cost mana, you might actually want to do so.

You need a command post for that.

Found a major bug basically making the game more or less unloseable: The gold reward after combats doesn't get flushed so after each combat I get the reward for the fought combat and that for all before them on top of it. Drowning in Money around Season 100. 50000 and counting...

Looks like a quick fix might be in order between this, the Zone of Influence bug and the familiar armies... .

As fun as the new concepts are. Its basically just bug hunting by now. No chance a game will be lost with the above Wealth so even beyond AI. (Alas, that is what you get if playing a beta... )

Also some of the high-level champions seem to spawn with an entourage of non-hireable champions. Overall a much better experience minus the still not competing AI and the bugs making the game cheesy and removing any semblance of challenge (unless you actively avoid using those tactics. But that is hard to do with the battle reward-bug).

The AI has no clue and seems to still think in the 1.09 framework before the beta-patch (I know that is bound to change soon... )

Back to playing / testing the beta

I wondered why I had so much gold.

If your Sov has the trait "Great Defender" that's his special wall.  I think it's cool.

Just to report one more bug. In my last game the Umber City Guards units with attack cca 12 and defense about 5 or 7 have resisted all of my attacks. It was impossible to kill them, with magic or normal weapons. I`ve tried with swords, maces, tactical combat, auto resolve etc. My units have attack about 40-50 an defense about 27, but they was killed. So i just quit the game, because i lost 3 cities to some low level unit. Pretty lame...

I've gotten multiple crashes (need to remember to send them..!) but that's understandable.

Nots ure if it's gameplay but I had a hero + 9 dragons take on the enemy soveirgn who ran into an ungaurded city.  He teleported away yet I had 3 dragons left.

Several of my dragons leveled up, and when I clicked their icon it took me to the side of the map (still in fog).  Did he steal my dragons and hero?!

Odd bug - I have a city with a food improvement + mine.  Whenever I load the game up I have to construct them again.  There is nothing there to destroy them, yet each time I load I have to make them again.
