_Usually heroes, although some longbowmen and a boat have done it too. It's a glitch that seems to happen after the unit has two or three pages of effects (natural, artifact, enchanted). The names and modifiers of said effects may become scrambled; such as the experience box being replaced with "Legendary (345)" or "Lion Heart +[about 36k]", or just the pictures being switched around. Right clicking on these, or right clicking on the unit in battle, will crash the game. It tends to go away if I ignore it, oddly enough, but very occasionally it will crash bringing the unit into battle.

_Perhaps, but it is a glitch for it to show the banishment animation again. Like they get to finish the spell of return instantly just for the sake of getting banished again.

_Mostly what I've been trying to figure out is if the treasure reward increases if you use a much smaller army (1Hero vs. 5SkyDrakes VS. 4Heroes vs. 5SkyDrakes). I know the fame does, but sometimes it seems like loot does as well. As you can guess, I've been trying to figure out what I can do to increase my chances.
_I have this rather far goal of trying to acquire everything I could have if there was infinite picks at start. I can't seem to get more than four spell books in every school, and half the abilities. On Hard of course, but I don't think the treasure is better on easy.

I was casting a stone-skin spell on top of four other spells to get that bit of extra advantage in a node fight, and then when I re-checked statuses I noticed Mana Lock had appeared right below the rest. No idea where it came from.

Then you give your mage some item to increase his speed, but movement remains 2, cause pathfinding doesn't count for flying and now your rangers are the slowest unit.

The moment I'm thinking of is when I was using my 6 move Air Mage as a ferry for a Pathfinding 2 move army. Moving the army on to the Air Mage's tile should have left them all with 1 movement point (took two moves to get there) yet my Air Mage was still able to take the entire army with his 6 move points (without Pathfinding of course). Although, next turn the entire group was reduced to 2 movement points out on the ocean.

I'm pretty certain they can't attack fliers, but they will retaliate if attacked by a flier in melee. One thing that crosses my mind is that there were some spiders with the wyrm - in which case they cast nets on your fliers and make them ground unit. The other option is that I was wrong in assuming they couldn't attack flying units, in which case I apologise

That's what I assumed at the first large nature node, but at the second there were no spiders, yet my three Flying heroes were killed all the same (1 colossus and 5 Great Wyrms). I assumed Great Wyrms had a long reach, they look like they should.

_The Bay12 forums and one other always keep indents, and I spend most of my internet time at the former. So I'm always surprised when it doesn't work. I use spaces for topic change.

_I'll make sure to remember to grab a save file next time I have the problems.
Is your patch going to prevent the floating roads?
