Either the 'fear' spell has been changed, or it doesn't work as expected.

I feared a large stack of level 1 slingers, and had the stack attack my Ice Dragon immediately after. Normally fear would prevent it from making offensive actions (though it can retaliate) to higher level enemies. Might have to test on other ranged units to see if it is a 'shooter' bug.

I thought fear said they can only attack units which are equal to or lower level than they are. I haven't had ice dragons yet... is it a summon that's actually level 1?

Fear does say that, and normally it works that way. But for some reason, this slinger completely ignored that restriction.

The ice dragon is a normal level 5 unit. 2200 Leadership no less!

Also, I tried the fight two times, and once the slingers attacked the icey, and once they attacked the Emerald Green dragon.

O.o Sounds like its time to pop open Fear and look for the loophole. Plus I have no idea how to look up individual unit parameters to see if slingers are special. Do you know how?

I think best things about all these bugs is that a positive, can-do spirit has shown through in the community. We're documenting them, we're fixing them, we're helping each other and I know the devs appreciate it. I've seen other communities where all people do is yell in I'm glad this isn't one of them. Don't bring it down, man, it's all we have while we wait. Also.

On another topic, I used Loki's touch on a stack of wolves today and something I hadn't seen before happened. They enranged, were hit by an enemy and then "overcame their rage" and took their turn. Do enemies have a chance to cure it when their turn comes up - before the duration comes up? Not saying it's bugged, just might need a descr. update if that's possible.

What have you guys seen?

Something is definitely up with fear. Just had a stack of feared orc catapults fire on my soothsayers (level 3 attacking level 4). As with the other case, no appropriate level units were available for it to attack (all my armies are level 4). I am also wondering if the unit has to be ranged for this to happen, as I'm pretty sure I've seen melee troops just pass their turns under these conditions.

Same thing happened to me a lot of times, especially when fighting wolves - I even took a screenshot. My slingers were still able to attack the enemy bears, when they shouldn't have...
