Patch 1.5 may have messed up ranged combat and some spell casting

from Stardock Forums

After 1.5 update archery says it requres 2 movement points during combat but archer units start with 1.5. Same thing with some summoned creatures who were able to cast spells (Lesser fire elemental, Fire Giant as examples) that now cannot due to not have enough base movement.

Is this accurate or am I missing something?

No, it's a bug that got introduced late. We're updating the data file now. Another 20 minutes or so.

Heh. Yea, just required an XML fix. And while we were at it, I got the opportunity to increase the combat speed in general to 2 which should make tactical battles more satisfying (IMO).

Is it possible to share what xml, what changes. Maybe we can do it ourselves while we wait for the update to appear.

It's also possible to equip infinite rings (and maybe other items?) in the current build, might want to fix that for the next patch

I don't know if it is bug or indicating something like shooting over terrain like in HoMM but archery cursor always like bow with red circle and cross through it for me in tactical battle during game I just played.

How many rings can one wear before there is no more space for another?
