[1.0][Campaign][Bug] Random Heroes die before combat begins

Spoiler Warning

from Elemental Forums

This is happening in Chapter 11?  Not sure as the Log doesn't say.  It's the one where you get to rescue Janusk.

Not sure if the issue is related to Stack Size as this hadn't happened until after my stack increased to 10 units

Definitely an issue with the stack.  When entering combat the game kills off random units (usually Relias first) so that you can only play 9 units (max) in the field.

I don't even see them actually appear in combat, they just mark as dead at the end of combat and incur injuries.

Had this problem happen in that same battle (after getting Janusk, I had a 9-stack, and Relias died at the start of the next battle).

I only had 9 units in the stack (and without Relias, I started with only 8 on the battlefield -- I counted). So I think the bug is a bit more subtle.

Yeah I've had this happen to me before, in the non-campaign too (when playing the beta). You leader just decides to die before combat even begins, and thus you go into the battle one short.

It's a somewhat rare occurrence, but it is happening.

In the campaign, it is not rare at all once you get far enough. It is pretty much guaranteed, since you are given both units and champions, and the champions cannot be killed or disbanded.

In the sandbox, it is rare; I have not run into it so far in any of the betas.

Thanks, we're looking into this.
