Necromancer Campaign Mission 4 - Thoughts and Intentions bug

[jgblea]

After mopping up all enemies on the map and assualting the town of Al-Jamash to complete the quest "Skull of Sorrows", I have encountered a bug that brings the game to a halt. Capturing this town should end the map but once I complete the quest, the screen loses its HUD interface and centers on Zenda who is sitting by the starting town of Ninurta-Gamil. I can't use the mouse or access any keys on the keyboard. The game doesn't crash, it just sits and won't let me interact. I let it sit for 10 minutes before Alt-Tabbing out of the game and closing it. I reloaded the save and defeated the town over and over 5 times to see if I could get different results and the same thing always happens. Any one know a work around?

Looks like the scripting never triggered! Probably not a fix, short of them fixing it.

These sorts of scripting errors that effect a small number of people can be an issue with your c++ redistributable. I have had luck fixing scripting issues in the past by removing them from "add/remove programs". Then, re-installing them all from coppies found on the net - just make sure you make note of all to make sure they all get replaced.

Thanks for the response. I will look into that. I'm wondering if anyone else had that happen to them.

how did you ever get to mission 4? most people are stuck at mission 2 cause the mission wont end when all is done...

BTW my game crashes at mission 4 by every fight^^

Mission 2 actually ended for me without any problems. I had the game crash maybe once so far while loading a fight screen, it just hung. The problem I noted above has been the only real bad one for me. But, I have only played the necromancer campaign so far. Maybe other bugs are waiting for me in other campaigns. I hope not. I'm going to have to move on to another campaign now since I can't finish this one. Maybe I will try Haven next.

Soooo... I have been trying to figure out how to get through this map, but i cant build up anything enough before they attack.. Whats the strategy? :P I know its to capture that town, but how to build up a large enough army to complete the map before they kill me? Haha..

wondering the same thing... I cant get on the boat near the starting castle

[-R-]

only bug i ever got in the campaigns where when 1.2.1 hit and i got around that :D

About Necro 4 -> the boat is just for show, later when u explore the sea with anothewr boat u will see its just a lilttle area blocked off by rocks...yes i remember when i crossed the stonebridge(rock) at start i got assaulted by 3-4 "deadly enemy heroes in 1 AI turn -> i split what few skeletons i had ...i had maybe 20?....and made stacks of 1-2 Skeletons on adar malik and just defended while i used his firespells and a summon elemental to win the fights :D

AI will waste its turn raping the stacks with spells ofc hence why i made as many stacks as possible, and dont stand next to eachother when you meet the stormlord (Johari?) since his passive is AOE damage whenever anyone takes damage -.,-
