Stealth Attack

[Riker13]

Dear ALL

I seem to have a problem, I have made a foot unit with stealth attack, (another type of foot unit), it works fine in the editor when testing, it brings up the list as expected, but when playing for real it does not work.

Any ideas??????

Could you be a bit more detailed. How does it not work. Will the unit not attack or does it behave like a normal unit or something else.

Stealth attack means it can choose what unit in a stack it will attack.

Make sure you have these flags checked in the editor for your unit:

-Under "Special Actions", check "Stealth Attack"
-*Important* Under "Stealth Attack Targets", choose what units it can stealth attack (or pick out of a stack). For example, in the WWII Conquest, submarines can stealth attack ALL ships.

Have you checked both of these things in the editor? The second part is the most important - if you don't have any units selected, it won't stealth attack anything. Hope you can get it to work.

Just to make sure:
1) You are not trying this with an Artillery or plane?
2) You didn't forget to give that unit an attack and movement value?
3) You know how it should look like (Assassins in Middle Ages, Ninja in Sengoku)?
4) You're attacking a stack of units to test it, not a single one?

Nope its a foot unit
it has attack and movement
it is attacking a stack

I think its a very strange bug that just works on my computer, may reinstall.

If there is a unit in the defending stack that can see the stealth unit (detect invisible turned on), does that stop the stealth unit from choosing its victim.

No (see Assassin vs Assassin in Middle Ages, a common occurance). But the 'Stealth Barrier' improvement flag works that way.

Nope, its very early in the game, no units have detect invisible yet.
