Bug Report: Trials of the K'thir Forest.

[kutaghes]

Ok.. No PC specifications as they won't matter in this case.

I was playing the Trials of the Protectorate campaign, against K'thir Forest on hard.
It was going well. Was playing more defensively then usually so didn't see this happening before.

Nearing the end, the avatar spawns. The first time for me against the avatar as I usually kill off all enemy units before that (I've played K'thir on hard at least 2 or 3 times before) but due the more defensively playstyle, it took a bit longer. Ok, nothing is wrong at this point.
Now I killed all units except the Treant Launcher or whatever it is called, the big immobile tree., and the avatar. Next turn, I kill the Treant Launcher and what happens? "Shrine: Congratulations, you have defeated the trials of the K'thir Forest." while the avatar is still alive.

To sum it up:
The game finished while only the avatar was alive, instead of after the avatar is killed.

There's two victory conditions in the majority of the trials.
1.) Instant destruction of shrine by killing an Avatar
2.) Destroying or removing from the field all champions not the avatar or diplomat.

I think the Mandrake guarding the bottom-most-left font counts, which is why I've never gotten a normal (2) win on FS Trials.

I'm not sure about IS Trials, though, that's the only one I have to consistently kill the avatar for after completely clearing the board.

But otherwise from IS, it's vert consistent.

I usually have to kill the avatar if it is spawned on the board.
And the rules say that you have to kill all units so...

Avatar description reads controllers shrine is destroyed if the Avatar dies.

[kutaghes]

Exactly.
However, I did not kill the unit. He was the only unit left over on the map.

I just got my bloody 20-minute post deleted. Please please pardon me if my post is unnecessarily curt.



Either you kill the avatar or you kill everything BUT the avatar and the diplomat. They are two separate win conditions with the SOLE exception of IS.

Kill the avatar = win.

Kill all bosses, a treant launcher and grappler avatar are all that's left. Kill treant = win.


This happens VERY consistently, in my experience, with ST, KF, SP, SL, UD, and FW. FS I have won a couple times without killing the avatar, but I usually don't kill the mandrake, so I usually kill the avatar instead. IS will spawn the avatar and not end until it is defeated.

That's really it. You don't have to kill the avatar to win (outside IS). I can attest to this 50 times over.

Wish that they then make it 100% consistent and update the description accordingly.
