Phantom Hero

[Pillager]

I have encountered a bizarre bug in one of my games...

A paladin of mine was somehow cloned...his clone is stuck invisibly in the upper left hand corner of the westeros map. When the hero advanced in level, his clone remained at level one. And when the hero was brutally killed ( curse you Kysar!), the clone survived.

So, right now...I have 2 heroes and a phantom paladin...which I suspect affects the likelihood of hero offers.

Thats interesting, I thought we had fixed all the issues with units in top left corner
Do you know when/how it got created there?

Do you see if you get strange calculations of upkeep/income also?
If you click the "Next Unit" button, do you eventually get to this Hero?

No idea how it got there. When I hired the hero, I got the phantom in the bargain. Not sure about the upkeep..seems fine. I tried to 'next unit' my way to the hero...didn't work.

BTW, I often see a dot of color up in the left-hand corner (looks like some player's unit).

Just in case it's any help in tracking the issue down:

In Beta2 you could get the phantom hero by:

1) Canceling a hero offer at the beginning of your turn.
2) Viewing a battle report immediately.
3) Closing the Battle Report.
4) Exiting back the main menu.
5) Re-entering the turn.

Some how the closing of the battle report was equating to accepting the hero offer. If you did it on a map with land (Bullrun) in *just* the right order the hero was more than a phantom. He was legitimately placed on the map for use. On Riverwar he was always a phantom.

I would expect some similar combo of buttons is causing this to occur.
