2 weird results?

[Frosted Flake]

I have just had 2 weird experiences...maybe i'm just a noob. My shaman cursed all of my commanders and left the enemy alone wtf? also overran Tien Chi in a game and killed their Jade Emporer. The very next turn he reshowed in the capital...tien chi had 4 provinces and 2-3 priests so no way did he have 40 summon god points. Any idea how this could happen?

Did he have a Ritual of Returning on him? If he had a Ritual of Returning cast, it might have LOOKED like you killed him, but he got away. Never heard of a shaman cursing your own units and ignoring the enemy units, though.

The shammy cursed all 7 of my commanders and ignored the independents 3 commanders. Dont know about the ritual of returning but it was only like turn 20 and I did get the standard "you killed our god we hate you forever" message

[Norfleet]

Maybe your Shaman got mindcontrolled by one of the Tien Chi peoples? Was he still around after the battle?

Maybe he had more than 2-3 priests. I recall that many of the Tien Chi mages are also priests.

The shammy was attacking indies with a commander and 2 priests and yep he is still in my army. T'ien chi went comp controlled a few turns back and i've wiped my armies ..he is attacking me with peasants ..hard to believe Last province I cant see is chock full of priests but i'll know soon enuff

[PvK]

All of T'ien Chi's mages are also level 2-3 priests. If the player had been cranking out researchers in the capitol, there could be quite a few there.

I don't remember ever seeing friendly-fire cursing... this is with the Curse spell?

Aye but he came back the turn after I killed him storming the castle walls and kiling all his researchers.... and yes good old shammy curse spell. At least the god came back all kinds of crippled and I spanked him again

Also, are you sure C'tis didn't have Totem Shield with any of its commanders? It casts curse on its own.

[Frosted Flake]

I wasnt fighting Ctis , I recruited a shammy at a province I captured and attacked indie provinces with him...I did set his army orders to spam curse ..cause I wanted to see how often it would hit..boy it hit every time

[Frosted Flake]

It gets better in the next fight (against indies still ) the shammy cursed himself ..too funny

Sorry, it seems I should have went to bed instead of posting... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif I meant T'ien C'hi, of course.

If 'Confusion' is cast on enemy mage and he fails a save (whatever it is) and attacks his own side, can he cast a spell instead of trying to bash them? What if he is scripted? Will he follow it?

edit: typo, added the Last sentence.
