Unit has been fixed. Reload the game and it should work.
Do you remember if this unit has passed the Anchor/Docks recently? Maybe in company with other units/hero?
Also interesting if any unit there did any upgrade to another ship?

I had 3 serpents in the same stack and therefore don't know where that serpent came from. The stack also consisted of a hero and 2 units on a ship.

The hero was riding 1 of the serpents, traveled onto the swamp on the southern island, captured the city, entered the water. I then moved the other 2 serpents to the same square. Then, I sent the 2 ships to the same square. Finally, I moved the entire stack to the position where the serpent was stuck.

Hope that helps.

Since this thread is ongoing, I thought I'd report a couple of (possibly) related bugs.

1) Often, I cannot stack/unstack units by clicking on them in the right-hand menu. I can break this bug by clicking the "group all" and "ungroup all" button. Also, coincidental with this bug is...
2) Rarely, I cannot move a unit or units. It's impossible to get them to walk until I do a little fiddling with the group/ungroup settings. Also...
3) Most of the time, I cannot adjust the fight order for a specific stack. I can generally do it the first time that stack is created, but not any time afterward. Sometimes I cannot do it even when first stacking the units. This is usually fixed by grouping, ungrouping, and/or moving the units, but not always. Often the only way to adjust the fight order is globally. I realize how tremendously complicated creating/storing fight order for specific stacks must be, so I avoided reporting it.

LP, this kinds of bugs are interesting to get reported, so we can try to track them down.
Due to their nature its a bit though to track them though.

Do you have any idea if it is some kind of special sequence of actions you do that leads to these errors?
What browser are you using?
If you get this problem with group/ungroup - could you try to not use th group all button but rather hit F5 to reload the webbrowser and see if you still get the same issue with the group?

As for the fightorder, how do you mean by adjust the fightorder for a specific stack?
The shortkey is also adjusting the global fightorder, but it is just showing you the units thats part of the currently selected group.
What happens when you cannot change the order? Does drag/drop not work?

SnotlinG,

I can report seeing #1 regularly in 0.8 using Firefox.

It happens for me whenever I attack a city. The surviving stack then requires the group/ungroup button to fix the fact you can't manually select/deselect each unit. I remember you fixing this in Beta6. So somehow it's crept back in.

Aha thanks for input.
Next time it happens could you please try reload the browser and then select that same stack again and see if you still have the problem (without using the group all /ungroup all button), or if the browser reload fixed it?

It does not fix it for me. Firefox browser here.

With the fight order bug, it's a matter of clicking the icon and no popup. No reaction from the game at all. I have not been astute enough to notice a pattern to any of these bugs. I was hoping to have something more informed to report before posting, but I haven't figured any of it out.

Thats actually good that a reload doesnt fix it, then I can try your game :-)

next time it happens, please try a refresh and if it still doesnt fix it please notify me and I can check the stack in question :-)

Thanks!
