Because of incompetent game-testers.

Anyone else experienced weird flashing "lines" on the map textures? Especially visible on snowy terrain, for example when you start a new game and you get a quick intro video of the island. Odd, as I never had video problems with TL and CW and I actually have them installed on the very same computer.

I can almost assuredly say that Shield of Rage %'s are subtracted from 100%. For example, if the skill says your units has a 15% change to shrug off debuffs, that actually means (100-15) = 85% chance. So lower levels are better.

Berserker is fine, but don't take my word for it (still need to sit down with a notepad and tally up berserk/nonberserk attacks).

Oops I think I missed this one and I'd like to post it. Can you tell me what it says now vs. what it should say? Is it just a tooltip error or are there mechanics issues too?

The tooltip for Shield of Rage currently says that your warriors have a #% chance to shrug off negative statuses on the start of their turn. However, some percentage testing have led me to believe that this listed number is the percentage chance that your troops will NOT shrug off the effects. If a randomly rolled number (0-100) is GREATER than this percentage, the troop shrugs off the effect. In essence, it seems that the mechanics for the skill (which I can't find) has a flipped inequality sign.

So the lower levels of the skill is more effective because it gives less chance to NOT remove debuffs.

As a side note, this calculation is made once at the start of your fastest unit's turn and applies to ALL of your troops at that instant, not just one by one.

And I really wanted this game to be bug-free, too...

Good work. I've added it. Maybe it's something we can fix in the files once we find it, too.

At THIS thread i found out bugged item.
Its called "Banner of the Horde" . I think that if u use it u dont receive exp for won battles. It would be nice if someone else tried it too to reproduce this bug.
I cant be sure but it might have to do something with "Diplomacy" perk.

"Onslaught" perk seems bugged also because it should give 10/20/30 adrenaline to random orc unit at battle start but every fight i do always 1st unit gets boost.
In my party (screen above) its Blood Shamans.

Yup, with Nvidia GeForce GT420. even if I drop shadows, antialias etc the issue remains. considering that this is the only thing affected, I keep playing (and crashing) with all settings to max.

Updates:

Moved Icy Rage to Tooltip Section
Clarified entry for Song of Midgard
Recategorized a few entries
Added Book of Uber (I mean, Book of Evil)

@Nevar, omg, that book is nuts. I added the book of evil. If anyone else can summon one and let us know if their book has crazy modified stats that would be nice to know. The base stats seem fine to me, it's the modifiers that look screwy.
@Nicoli, I didn't notice an update but I wouldn't be surprised. No patch notes, though.

@Bhruic - lost your runes? That sux? I can report it if you want but I'm not sure what to put. Suggestions? Or do you think it was a freak occurence? Also I can mention the tooltip on Cautious/Prudence - did they just update the name or do they call it two different things on the same unit?
@Mandea - More info plz! What quest is that, and what step is bugging? Any ideas what the faulty trigger would be?

Well, there definitely was a bug that caused them to all disappear, but unfortunately I didn't have anything from before the event, so I'm not sure what caused it yet. Hopefully it'll happen again where I do have a pre-save so I can note it.

As for the Cautious/Prudence, on the unit page it labels the ability as "Prudence". The tooltip when you mouseover it is labeled "Cautious". But the tooltip doesn't say anything about it giving the ability to dodge attacks. I'm pretty sure that in AP, the Cautious ability did give that. I'm not sure if they intended to remove it - explaining the change in the tooltip - or the tooltip is wrong. Either way, it's a bug.
