Petard bug?

Post by Asateo »

Sometimes when playing India I send petards from the britisch consulate. Especially when I have GFA, but sometimes also without.
Twice it has happened that my petards get to the enemy tc and instantly die.
First time my opponent was laughing at me, because he thought I deleted them. This time however I carefully watched and when they come at ennemy tc. They just die, all at once (without blowing up the tc mind you :dry: ). It happened on GP if I'm not mistaken.

Anyway, is this a know bug, or can't you blow up enemy main tc with consulate petards?
Did it yesterday with some ricepaddies and it worked fine on them...

They're units that throw petards, they don't sacrifice themselves with a big explosion

No, I'm not talking about french consulate grenadiers. I'm talking about britisch consulate petards.

They will not damage a building if you right click it while it's in the fog of war. Task them to go next to the tc and theen when it's in line of sight, click it again.

It was playable, but yeah some lag was there.

@Asateo the petards do an animation befor exploding. when u click a building again while they are already doing the animation they just die due to a bug and dont explode. so make sure u dont task them again when they start the animation.

Makes sense.
