Dead units come back to life!!!

[DWOLF]

I recently downloaded the latest Firaxis patch, 3.03 and I decided to play a quick game.

My elite archer unit spotted two barbarian warriors roaming near my main city so I decided to kill them. As I was attacking, I noticed that the barbarians knocked out two of my archers but the weird thing was that THEY GOT UP AGAIN and finished off the barbarians. I was able to win the battle but I didn't have to heal at all...

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Let me explain it better, My archer unit is a single unit that shows 3 archers. Two of them get killed but while my last archer is fighting, the other 2 archers that were previously dead get back up and continue fighting.


Usualy when my archer unit suffered damage, I would have to heal, but now I don't have to because my dead archers get back up.

maybe they withdrew?

Since the latest patch, the animations have been completely messed up. They're not reliable anymore. You might see both sides completely vanish, and then appear again with all 3 standing, and then one side wins that had all three vanish again... it's silly. I turned off the battle graphics because it's not worth it anymore. I hope they fix this.

Thanks Theodorick for telling...man that's sad...

What's up with Firaxis?
Haven't they realized that they put out a great expansion game with a ton of bugs?

I have read about this problem in another thread. I have been watching for it. I have not had a problem with it.

I've seen it with my game too. The problem only occurs when you have the three character graphic representing the units in the game. It's even more confusing actually because when I was experiencing the problem it was as if there were four characters instead of only three because you would kill all three characters, then a fourth would pop up and you would have to kill that one too. However, if you use the single character graphic then the battle representations seem reasonably accurate and you will not see this issue. I have since switched to the single character graphic and haven't experienced that funny business since.

 

[DWOLF]

Maybe I'll have to try that, but I want to have all 3 archers showing

I did what Theodorick said and now I don't see that problem as often as I did. I really hope Firaxis fixes this.

Should be easy to fix, all they have to do is throw the guy that made that worthless 3.03 patch out of an airlock.

 

[Diamondeye]

This bug is really annoying, I'll switch to One-man units.

The problem only occurs when you have the three character graphic representing the units in the game.

With the one man units you sometimes will see the enemy fall when it's really you losing the battle. Stay cool, wait for the next patch.

Another reason why patch 3.03 is a lemon and should be avoided at all costs.

Clearly, this is a zombie army.

And as far as I know this is only a graphical problem, and the number of soldiers you can see has no bearing on the remaining HP of the unit...

This happens when my privateers attack caravels. As the privateer approaches (animation starts), the caravel rolls over and sinks, only to come back from the bottom of the ocean and start firing on the privateer. fun to watch. but sooo unrealistic!

I like lemons. They taste nice, even together with some kinds of alcohol.

 

[DWOLF]

This whole graphic problem caused me to stop playing...Don't they test their patches before releasing them?

 

[mrwhite89]

I hated the new patch so much I uninstalled the game and reinstalled it with the previous patch.

 

[Solver]

Reinstall the game and update with 3.02 instead - 3.03 breaks a few things, then apply the unofficial patch for bugfixes

Exactly what I did....animations are correct 98% of the time. I recommend reinstalling.

 

[Angst]

Tried to kill an Elephant four times or such. Weird stuff.

 

[Sarek]

Ha!
I thought it was just me. It's a little disconcerting when you have incredible odds in a fight and two of your peeps go down on the first shots fired!

Then...it's a miracle...they're back up!
