Wish for unique unit not working

[Micah]

Here's one possible reason: If the unit was given a magical movement order (AQ casting cloud trapeze for example, or the gatestone, etc.) and it resolved after your wish the unit would vanish to the destination province before the magical battle phase of the turn. The game probably doesn't check for labs during the casting phase, since the only way for a unit to move and cast in the same turn is via a wish. Perhaps the opposing player would let you know if that happened? Otherwise it sounds like a bug.

Or you did not type the correct unit name.

[Sombre]

He wouldn't have seen the message in that case.

I don't think this is possible because when you type something wrong you get a message" I cannot give you that"
I always watch for this message.

Besides, I got "Unique Unit appeared outside" which would not have happened if I had typed a nonexistant thing.

Perhaps a Queen of Elemental Water whose description indicates she can't leave the sea, and either an amulet of the fish isn't in place or QoEW is special-cased?

Nope.

CAUGHT YOU, COR!! What or who the heck were you wishing for?

[Cor2]

I was wishing for Rhaux. Obviously did not work.
