Wish for unique unit not working

[Cor2]

I have cast wish for unique unit that is owned by the enemy. I got the message "suddenly /Unique Unit's name/ appeared right out side" But the unit is still with the enemy.There is no unit, either commander or non-commander in my capitol or the place were the wish was cast.

Is this a bug? Its a huge waste of 100 gems and a wish.

[archaeolept]

hmmm... what was the unit, or you do not wish to say?

was it immortal?

[Xietor]

You never get control of an enemy unit by wishing. you can steal unique artifacts though.

Really? I was fairly sure that wishing for elemental royalty ect gave them to you even if they were being used.

In test games I ran using wish recently, you actually can wish for unique units that are currently being owned by opponents. They turn up with all their gear - though they turn up hostile! If you are convinced you can kill them or better yet, charm them it can be a great wish.

I have seen this used in MP.

Dunno what went wrong...
Code:

---

  com235(...) is casting spell 410(Wish) (a2=100, a3=10002)

Labspell: ... casts Wish

Fulfilling wish for ...

  moving Rhuax to land 124

---

but he isn't there.

[lch]

Ah, now I see him. He's sieging the castle. Just like some others already said he would. Since R'lyeh was already sieging the castle, you only helped him by teleporting Rhuax there.

[Cor2]

But he was seiging a castle that was not where the wish took place. I am puzzled.

Oh, that's true! For some reason he appeared in Iron Range (98), not Resting Heights (124).
