[BUG 1.05] Tactial Combat

from Elemental Forums

1. My unit was attacked by a spider with 'poison shot' and I couldn't identify anywhere in the UI that my unit was being poisoned each turn, this would make it hard to 'cure' if I had such a spell, which I would imagine there is one. Regardless, I should know which units are being affected by ailments.

2. I lost two units in combat but the results screen at the end of the battle displayed I had only lost 1 unit. The reason I suspect, is I lost the last unit on the last turn of the battle, so maybe it didn't count on that results screen? Anyway, the game did accurately show I had lost two units when the game returned me to the regular game map mode.

First off, thank you for the feedback.

 

1) You're right, this isn't communicated anywhere on the UI. This is an area that we will improve upon in the coming weeks. We definitely agree with you that it is important to be able to view the debuffs that a unit is afflicted with.

 

2) This sounds like a bug and we'd be interested in squashing it.  Can you post a save game from before the battle and your debug.err file.

 

Thanks in advance,

Before uploading 1.05 tactical worked for me.  Now, after updating, after I win the first battle, can't apply ability points to farmer-guy.  Cursor shows the tactical battle cursor (x with dots trailing off).  Nothing on my keyboard (tried literally everything including esc and f keys) will select an ability to improve.  Can move cursor around, but can't leave screen-- OK button disabled.

No debug.err file on computer.  Windows 7 64 bit Pro; ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4530

The cursor should still let you assign the points, its just rough at first until you get used to where to point it. Another option is to enable you rhardware cursor in the options.

I'm sorry I don't have that save game file anymore, I had submitted these couple errors after I stopped playing, I'm sorry next time I'll try to remember to do that.

Still though for #2, I bet its reproducible, I think it had something to do with my 2nd guy dying in the last round of battle, the results screen just didn't pick up the stats for that last round or something, just a hunch.
