Default Re: Bug or manual wrong?

I seem to remember that even if stealthed units attack coming from a different province, they still attack in the magic phase. I've done it before to specifically pick up provinces after being cleared by ghost riders, but it ended up as random which came first.

I could swear I've had stealthed units join in with regular troops for a battle. That really doesn't work?

Of course there is no reason to have them stealthed if they are coming in to take a province. even if they are a stealth unit.

So if you move a scout to take a province that should NEVER occur during the magic battle stage.

It was always this way i think. They are suppose to join call of the wild and the such.
The trick is to get some stealthers like woodsmen and reinforce them with summons.
Llamabeast said the procedure from now on.
The other trick is to cast ghost riders and then call of the winds, wild or the such.
Also ghost riders can attack along with horrors and the phantasmal attack (anonymous), and the rest that are not anonymous can join together.
edit: I wonder what happens if you cast ghost riders in the same province that other player has cast ghost riders too. Probably they join.

Torin:

As far as I know spells are random and IDs do not count.

The reason to have them stealthed when coming in to take a
province is that they're coming from an enemy province.

Though I wonder if you can make this work with stealthy troops hunting down raiders. If you attack with stealthy troops can you get them before they move away?

Last time I attcacked province A with a scout from province B. And enemy army from B was attacking A. Both my scout and enemy army made a move, crossing each other.

They join. All attacks to the province occur in the same battle, as long as
they are tagged as 'Special Monsters'. The funny part is that only one of
the players who cast "Ghost Riders"/"Phantasmal attack"/etc. gets the replay.
