My units won't move any more

January 15, 2011 1:58:05 AM from Elemental ForumsElemental Forums

Elemental 1.11 running under Windows 7 on a quad-core system with 8 GB of RAM.

 

Put several hours into this game today. Just finished conquering a pesky neighbor. Just reached 'Dungeoneering' in Adventure tech. I start to move some units -- and suddenly they won't move any more. The little blue 'X' appears, but they just won't move; doesn't matter whether I have auto-turn on or off (it was on; I tried turning it off and manually advancing the turn). Everything else seems to be working fine; I can move units out of a city, but when they appear outside the city, I can't get them to move. I can even teleport a stack of units; just can't move it before or after.

 

I have a saved game file (units will move for about one more turn and then stop), but I'm unclear how to get it to you folks.  ..bruce..

Go through all of your units and make sure none of them have auto-explore on. There's a known problem when this happens.

Yep. Had two transports on auto-explore. Even with auto-explore turned off, the boats are a pain. They won't disband, they won't go back into a city with a harbor, and the game keeps refocusing on them even when they're not moving.

I'm glad you pointed this out.  I thought I was the only one having this problem (happened twice), specifically only since patching to 1.11.

Auto-explore wasn't the issue for me.  What worked for me, was to skip a turn (or two) with the units that are "stuck", and then try pointing the "x" in a new direction, and (after a bit of trial and error) this seemed to free them for me.  Like I said though, this has only happened to me since 1.11, so it's definitely a new problem.  Hope it gets addressed in the next patch.
