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.

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

was it immortal?

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.

How can you wish for a unit that has the same name as another unit (ex: titan)?

[calmon]

In dom2 you can wish for a unique not by his name but for his type. For example demonlord instead of the unique name. You get multiple demonlords of the same type but never the "real unique" one. But not sure how it works in dom3.

[Evilhomer]

It is changed in dom3 - now you cannot have multiple unique units. So if you wish for "lord of the plague wind", then pazuzu turns up. If someone had pazuzu already he turns up "hostile" in the wishing province.

He did not turn up at all hostile or not. And it was elemntal royalty. I could have sworn that it worked in other games. Oh well.
