I think it kills a movement phase. That can mess up a well laid plan where the other guy wants multiple armies to meetup.

Personally, Id consider it to be real-world realistic (or at least movie-world realistic). A smart scout cant cause an army to dig-in for one turn?

I'm 90% sure that I have stopped armies with single commanders. Are you thinking it's because the scout is coming out of stealth?

Mists of Deception + Wrathful Skies + Retreat is, of course, cheesy and exploitive.

I know I have done this many times in sp.

It doesn't always work.. but it works often enough to make it valuable.

Deepest apologies, guys. Very, very, deeply sorry. So on and so forth. I haven't been around much since last year and as stated in the OP, I didn't find any equivalent threads. Thank you for your input, though.

The only one I can really remember is Mists of Deception + Wrathful Skies followed by retreat. The battle just keeps on going...

There are other bugs as well, but not many non-bug exploits that I know of. Not that bugs will be likely to be fixed, since Illwinter has more important things to do, like creating overpowered nations of cannibalistic giants.
