I also was quite certain, based on the changelogs, that this was fixed...
Makes my suspicious side wonder how many other, harder to check issues, were declared as fixed without actually being so...
If we cannot trust the change logs and have to double-check every fix reported, then this board - and our enjoyment of the game - will go south pretty damn fast!
Please don't be so rush. I said " it looks like it's still not fixed", but that's not proven.
The developers never intentionally declare something as fixed if they haven't worked on it and believe it fixed. But sometimes other changes bring up older issues again.
Perhaps the change of placing archers in the back and meele fighters in front in manual combat could have had a negative effect on autocombat. Or more specifically cause a dark wizard to move in autocombat instead of casting spells.
