Bug?: Parties/Regiments/Etc. Revert to Single Units On Reload

from Elemental Forums

I remember reading about this before, but I can't find anything on it.

If you have a party of units that is damaged in a fight, its graphical representation will reduce as men are killed.  If you heal the unit WITHOUT QUITTING, those units will return as the HP is regained.

If, however, you save the game, quit, and reload, then when you resume playing the party will be permanently reduced into a smaller unit size and cannot recover HP up to its old maximum.

One way or another this is a bug.  Either parties should not heal back up to full strength or they should not be reduced permanently just because I save and quit the game.

Does anyone know the answer?

Nope, but I can confirm this. Oddly enough I now have a single "Wardens" (yes, its still spelled plural) with 46 HP instead of four "Wardens" with a total of 46 HP.

Can't find the older patch notes, but this (or similar bug) was supposedly fixed. I don't think it was the exact same issue, however i do remember that the way the bugfix was stated gave the impression that groups are supposed to heal to full unit count.

They aren't healing if you reload the game, but they do heal if you wait to save and quit until the proper number is back (even if the proper number isn't fully healed).

I've been able to repeat this bug several times and now have several "Knights" that are just 1 unit.

I've become very disappointed by the lack of "official" responses in this forum and the bug subforum.  When people point out repeatable bugs, you'd think you'd get an acknowledgment.

If would love to do that, but unfortunately I very seldom quit on my own. Either the game crashes or it tells me that "its time to quit or the game will crash" by stopping the music, sound effects and the like. So basically the game quits itself.
