bug? Unable to order units to do any actions in combat?

from Elemental Forums

Sometimes during a battle I will get to a point where I will select a unit and tell him to attack/move/cast, I will move the pointer where I want that action to take place and r-click. Nothing will happen. USUALLY if I repeat the right click several times the unit will get hte hint and do what I tell it. Sometimes however I will remain unable to issue orders. WHen this happens, I become unable to select anyother unit or issue any commands at all. Even the end turn button stops working.

 

Oddly enough the only button on the whole screen that continues to work is the auto-resolve battle button.

 

Have others had this issue or is it my marginal hardware?

Aye, I've def had the problem, and it's definitely not from any hardware. Ye just gotta auto resolve and hope for the best right now (which can suck when you have sov, wife, or children set up as glass cannon casters because auto-resolve will often kill them off).

Me too. Usually Auto-resolve will take care of it, but then I have to load the game if the battle did not play out as I had expected.

Still happening for me.  I had hoped the recent patch would help, but no such luck.  It's annoying that even when I have a massive army and I'm fighting one sad little tadpole my casters will use all of their mana with auto-resolve, and I'm forced to auto-resolve every few battles because my troops won't obey me.  Heck, even I won't obey me.

I've noticed that this in particular happens to horse archers more than any other unit, it incredibly drags out tactical battles.

If this is happening to units other than mounted units, let us know and post a save.  The horse bug is known and we're working on a fix.

This has happened to me on a few occasions. Never with mounted units though. I haven't had a chance to play since the latest patch, so I'm not sure if that's resolved.

It happened to me tonight with summoned  creatures.

 

I cannot really give you a save because I cannot save during a battle.

I have only seen this with summoned creatures as well, e.g. Sand Golem.
