Why is it that...

Backstab does not work if you have an allied unit on the other side of an enemy unit?
For example: My rogue is north of an orc grunt while my computer ally has a unit south of this orc grunt. No backstab damage bonus, and I can't move a unit to replace my ally's position to gain backstab bonus.

Too difficult/annoying to code, or a gameplay reason?

I can see this coming up more often down the road when multiplayer campaigns get underway.

Jags, let me guess, you're still playing 1.0.x?

Ah yes, reading the ability description in 1.1.1 I see it no longer says anything about 'doesn't work with allies'.

Considering all of none of the campaigns work on 1.1.1 though, yes I am playing version 1.0.2.

Cool features and pretty colors < being able to play campaigns.

Thx for the info.

"Why is it that..." Smokem always starts topics in the wrong forum?

gameplay reason?

If it was a gameplay reason that was behind the functionality of backstab in 1.0.2, where would you put this thread?

This seems to be the place to discuss such matters.
