Fixed on Beta: Two rogues don't reach battlefield

[DeletedUser7265]

Reproduction Steps:
1. Go to Guild Expedition
2. Use one normal unit and 7 rogues.
3. Click attack.
Issue Description (10/10):
Only 5 rogues and the normal unit are on the battlefield. This bug doesn't appear every time, which makes it difficult to reproduce. Last week I lost two attempts. Now I am in such a battle again. Did someone else have the same problem?

I have performed a quicksearch of the forums using a select few keywords relating to my bug to see if it has already been reported:
Yes

hello, also to me it happened this week - I selected 7 rogues for the battle and I found on the battlefield, in 1st battle, only 6.

 

[Artubar]

just a guess - maybe those were 'shadow' rogues, ones that got duplicated accidentially with the healing bug last(?) week?
(Did you check the number of rogues you had (in total) before & after this happening by chance?)

If you're experiencing this, it would be great if you can note any ingame actions you're doing directly before that. For example if you've come out of a different battle before that, if you've made adjustments to your attacking army, and similar stuff (probably unit-related actions).

Basically if it's happening it would be the end result of something (whether one action or a few actions) done before the battle starts and that would be what causes it. Similar to how the 'units jump back to attack position' wouldn't happen unless you use that army for defense or a siege.

I just had a similar problem:

1.) Did several battles on the continent map, using 8 railguns for each of the battle
2.) after the last battle I did I had 5 damaged unattached railguns in the slots
3.) pushed Captain Iglo towards the next station
4.) I am not sure what other non-unit-related actions I did before (maybe I spent a few forgepoints or collected a production?).
5.) approx. 2 or 3 hours later I returned to the continent map and clicked a Sector I wanted to conquer
6.) clicked attack (I did not want to negotiate)
7.) all 5 unattached railguns were completely healed; added 3 attached railguns and started the battla
Observed: I had THREE railguns on the battlefield. Surprisingly they won the first wave (I clicked automatic before I realized that there are only 3 RG). Two unattached(!) railguns have survived.
* two attached railguns seem to be jumped out of the selection when I clicked attack (I had 5, now I have 4)
* I am not sure what happened to the unattached railguns, whether they jumped out or vanished (I did not check my unattached railgun count before attacking)
Expected: When I select eight railguns, I want to have EIGHT railguns on the battlefield, and not just three

hmmmm, additional info, maybe this might be important:

Between step 2 and step 7 I did NOT remove any troops from the selection. I only added three railguns in step 7 - and I had three railguns on the battlefield. Coindicence?

It seems that the bug is still not fixed - I just attacked with 8 Railguns, but only 7 railguns made it to the battlefield.

Was it a one-wave battle? Or two-wave?

 

[Andi47]

Was it a one-wave battle? Or two-wave?

Two-wave battle in the continent map. I am almost sure that I selected 8 railguns (I am usually) doing this by quickly clicking on my row of railguns more often than necessary - but I had only 7 railguns in the first battle. And I checked between the waves - the 8th railgun has not been killed, it was simply not there.

My guess for how to reproduce this (I think steps 2 and 3 are the key steps):
1.) fight and end up with at least one damaged unit
2.) keep the damaged unit in the slot
3.) wait until the damaged unit heals with time
4.) fill up the empty slots with fresh units
5.) fight again
--> now not all units make it to the battlefield
