[bug] Faction Creation elements not locking (and others)

from Elemental Forums

 

Hi Guys,

I know this is the bottom of the list sort of stuff, especially with the OOM still tickling most people (myself included). I came across some problems with the faction creator this weekend (first time using it in 1.11).

- The tab with the color selection options doesn't seem to lock your choices, in particular the faction color and on occasion the Clothes 1 & 2

- Faction Story doesn't seem to stick either. I composed a rather nice, lengthy background (planned on keeping the race for awhile) only to have it disappear :(

- Can not change the color of skin tone for your faction. Is this intended? (i.e. taking the Maghar'esq race, and coloring them Green... Sov yes, faction are still pink... *Sad Panda*)

Additional Bugs from Sunday Playthrough

- Archers mounted on Wargs or Horses still have a lengthy delay after firing their shots until the next action is allowed

- Doppleganger Champions are back (I'll try to get the save posted when I get home from work today; Monday here in Japan)

- Assasult of the Mega Highwayman. 1 lone highwayman upon auto resolve slaughtered my 590 strength army, Sov included

*AI Question*

- Frogboy, is the AI supposed to be demanding tribute from you when the player Faction Strength is 20-30 pts higher than the faction making the demand? I've been able to reproduce this a couple times now, each time leading the AI to be smashed under my boot for making a silly demand and declairing war upon my refusal.

 

Thanks for taking a look. I really appreciate your product, and the work you guys are putting into it.

The colours will eventually lock but this section is a little wonky and you have to double check to make sure the colours have'nt changed when you go to another section. Always double check them just before saving. I find that if you name the faction and then choose your faction crest first, the colour options seem more stable. If your text disappears just left click on the page and it will reappear. Skin tone on the faction creation screen cannot be changed although skin tone can be changed on the soverein creation screen. Never use auto resolve - weird things go bump in the night if you use it. The archer animation bug should be fixed in the next update. The doppleganger champions are just a small bug - if you hire them simply rename them. Again, doule check everything from left to right before saving. The AI needs some love from Beloved Leader (Frogboy).

Auto resolve seemed fine in 1.1?

 

I am in my first game (modded map) of the new update from 1.1, and i have not tried auto resolve yet but i was nearly tempted a couple of times! Seems as though creatures are now even stronger! I had Vix on level 1 and even with the helmet and armour purchased from the minor race, he could not defeat anything - his little dagger simply kept missing! Even with the longsword from the minor race victory is not guaranteed! I only managed to survive at all thanks to Hero special abilities.
