Issuing a Challenge for DAG army

Post by Morbio »

Hi,

When issuing a challenge for a DAG army, if you sort the 'Select An Army' list, by Points then the description in the right hand pane doesn't match the army selected.

Similarly, if you create the challenge, then the army used doesn't match the one selected! I think this may happen if the list is sorted a few times.

I reported this some time ago, had a real surprise for several DAG games before I figured it out. It works fine if you don't sort the list, but that is becoming a real pain now that I have accumulated many armies of various point levels, etc. They've never acknowledged whether they will fix, but I hope so.

It is possible to save an army with any name - it loosk like you have saved the Illyrian army with a seleucid name?

What happens if you load this army up? Try in single player to avoid spoiling a game :)

No, it is exactly as he describes. If you do not sort the armies, the correct army is opened. If you sort the armies by name however, for some of them (but not all, for some reason) the army description in the box on the right will not match up with the army selected in the list on the left. Whatever army is shown on the right is what will appear in-game.

I reported all of this some time ago, I guess it is not on the "fix" list yet, but this is a fairly irritating interface bug now that I have a couple of dozen armies and have to hunt through the list every time I select one.

I'm not sure if it is fixed yet so will have to check. I know it was added to teh list some time ago, but we've had higher priority issues such as broken games to fix.
