Spying vs abilities

[Dugrim]

hello,
I had a game when my opponent (Aubrey) played courageous division and nullified my mans lvl 2 with Marshall baton.
Next turn I upgraded it but blitzkrieg didn't work: maus was blocked.
The icon on the unit was present.
I played on my iPad.
Let me know if you need more information.

Hey Dugrim,

We have been taking a look at this issue and we indeed encounter a bug in that specific situation. It will be fixed on next update.

Thanks a lot for your help and sorry for the inconveniences!

Cheers!

I don't know if it is the same bug...it is similar, but in reverse...

Used spying against Rommel at major level.
The abbility icons all disappeared on the card...BUT when Rommel attacked it was unblockable...no upgrade, no icon...it simply used blitzkrieg effect...
I think it is not supposed to be like this...

It was against the AI...level 140.

[Assassin]

It happened again...

I think only blitzkrieg is affected...spying removes all abilities in Rommel EXCEPT blitzkrieg...but the lightning icon disappears...

This would be important in PVP...particullary if also happening with other units like Panther, Lehr or such...

Does this happened to you at Rommel max level?

Bear in mind that Blitzkrieg is an special ability similar to Flag Rising, meaning that the ability itself "casts" the effect on the card so although you are able to remove the ability you are not removing the effect already casted on the card (like flag rising).

I understand that this is not very user friendly so we will have a look at what can be done from our side.

Cheers!

No...Major level.

I don't quite understand...Blitz is part of Rommel...not external and can't be cast on another unit...and has a lightning bolt in the card to simbolize this.
Flying units lose flying...Rommel loses its other abbilities...so Rommel should lose Blitz...as far as i see it.
And worse...eliminating the symbol (the lightning bolt) and maintaining the effect is not intuitive...

And the original point in this thread is not similar?...it is also blitzkrieg...trough marshall baton...and disappears...

Anyhow...rules are rules...as far as equal to all...just need to understand them

The problem is that there are certain specific abilities that work differently from the rest of abilities we can call them "Special Abilities" those ones even if they are always present in the Unit, they cast an "effect" on those units, and that's exactly what is causing the confussion as you point out.

I agree it's nor ideal or intuitive so we will work around that to make it easier to understand!

Sorry to insist...but i would appreciate a clarification...there are some bugs and some features...and i would like to know what is supposed to happen.

ASSUMING NO BUGS:
Biltzkrieg card lasts only one turn...it is the only type of blitzkrieg that is temporary.
Units with Blitzkrieg will NEVER lose the ability...
Units which receive Marshal Baton will always have blitzkrieg from then on...even it marshal baton is destroyed (when destroyed only the defense bonus disapears)
In this last case...what happens if marshal baton is destroyed and the unit is upgraded?

Am i wrong on any of the above?

[DaemonSultan]

As I understand, A unit ability, Blitzkrieg is "casted" (showing a crosshair) on the unit when ETB and lasts permanently. An order Blitzkrieg is also casted on a /all unit/s, but lasts only one turn.
It's similar to flag raising, which is casted too and cannot be spyed.
On the contrary, Ability of Marshall Baton, Blitzkrieg is not a casted effect but an ability, so it can be spyed. (which is somewhat weird and inconsistent).
So I think Marshall Baton has very wierd mechanism on "giving" Blitzkrieg effect.

[young]

So the Blitzkrieg in a unit which has this ability cannot be removed by spying. And the Blitzkrieg from Marshal Baton can be removed by spying. Am I correct?
