Hello everyone,
I just bought FE-LH v1.50 + Quest Pack on Steam a few days ago, and I'm encountering a big problem concerning my armies. Don't know if it's supposed to be part of the concepts or a bug.
I play as a Beastlord, so my armies are monsters only, part from the heroes. I noticed very early that in the small 9-circle army screen, SOME of my beasts were greyed-out (like a thin grey veil over their portrait). They still fought, so it didn't matter at first. Then I noticed that I couldn't cast any support spells on these units on the main map, like Tutelage or Evade. Annoying, but it still wasn't a big deal, and I thought it was just something that I didn't understand yet.
BUT when I attacked my first city (and won with NO losses), all the greyed units vanished upon exiting battle. Only my non-greyed units made it (a hero and a Corpse Spider) ; I lost 2 Corpse Spiders, a Harridan and a Silt Skath. I looked for them everywhere in vain. They were not in the captured city, not in the list of defenders in the Detail Screen, and not around the city either. So I loaded a saved game and tried again : they vanished again after the fight. I tried waiting a turn before attacking the city : same result. I quit the game and restarted it : nothing changed.
And of course, before getting to my first city battle, the greyed monsters had properly come out of any fight against other monsters on the main map. They just apparently suicide after a city battle.
So while I can get that maybe, some of my beasts have a special status because of some game mechanics that I don't fully master for the time being, I absolutely don't understand why it should cause them to be destroyed even though they won the city battles in question ! Of course, this makes the game totally unplayable as is, so it has to be a bug.
Does anybody know WHY some of these units' portraits are greyed out, why I can't cast support spells on them on the main map even though I have all the mana I need, why they disappear from the game after winning a city battle ?? If it's a known bug, is there any way to fix it ?
Thanks in advance for any help...
