Hubba walking over water!

This image was taken from a conquest epic game, playing as Scandinavians. I attacked a city with an elite Berserk from a full load caravel. I obtained the GL and then fortified he over water!

Very curious, but it's OK (I asked myself if I could obtain a GL in this situation).

don't let him there for too long or he might catch a cold.

You need to send another ship to get him. It happens sometimes when your ship is full and you get a Great leader.

I had this same thing happen once and picked him up quickly because I worried he might sink! Does anyone know if he'll sink if you leave him there, or can he walk on water indefinitely? Can he move ashore if there's a space available or is a ship required?

He can stay there until you pick him up but I think he can be killed by an enemy ship. I don't think he can move ashore a ship is probaly reqried.

Happened in Middle Ages to me, but I made no pic. This should be a candidate for screenshot of the day!

 

[valamas]

Great screenshot, thanks.

Definite SOTD

Two problems:
a)There doesn't seem to be anymore SOTD
b)This picture has probably already been submitted to SOTD.

The greatest screenshot ever told!!

Wow astonishing. Can he part water?

Another pic just to show that he can move ashore (the leader is now older, and he had remained over water several years...).

I continued the war against the Aztecs, but their galleys didn´t attack the GL, so I supose this sea square is now a sacred land for them

My next plan is to rename the city to "Rio de Janeiro" and wait for the turistic commerce bonus after 1000 years

 

[philippe]

I already had that too. i find it quite annoying

 

[Longasc]

Hehe, this is even better...^^

I do not know if this really needs a fix, but I think it is better than to get no leaders from seaborne assaults at all.

Perhaps should unit count of leaders for transports be = 0?

 

[Baalzebul]

By the way you must quickly get him to a city and create a leader or hurry production. If not you won't get another MGL.

This is why we should bully TF into starting th SOTD/SOTW again

 

[genghis_khev]

Forget Christianity!

Hubba, we worship you!

And I've already seen this too. Still makes a good screenshot, though.

Something like that happened to me once. I was playing as the danes in the middle ages conquest, and I attacked the english capital from a ship with my berserks. When I captured it I was wondering why I did'nt capture their treasure unit, (the AI rarely moves them out of their capital) but when I moved my ship away, I saw the treasure on the water square, where my ship had just been. When I right-clicked on it, it still said "contact english blah blah...", although I had already defeated all their king units, and the "The english have been destroyed" message already had been there.
