Orthus' Axe is a mommy?

Version: .30e

In playing a 2 man MP direct IP game, I encountered that the AI was able to get Orthus' Axe on several of their units.

Now, as I was using assassins, I was able to clean up the mess since evidently "equipment must be destroyed first" is their credo...but thats something unrelated to this post

Oh, possibly related, we encountered a situation where we got an OOS error, but the only way to continue was to have both people exit and have one of us save and reload the game. The normal "one exit and reconnect" resolution just triggered another OOS once they logged in again. This happened in several of our games so far.

ya, even at turn1 we seem to get OOS if someone has to relog for any reason. only way to avoid OOS is to reload everytime someone disconnects for any reason.

I was able to do this as well. What I did was the following....

1. I had a unit with the axe.
2. It attacked an animal and died.
3. The animal took the axe.
4. I then attacked the animal with a unit that had the subdue animal promo.
5. When I won, the attacking unit got the axe, and I captured the animal which still had the axe.

My recommendation would be to force animals to drop equipment when they capture it... Bears can't wield axes anyway.
