Walking Corpse Submerge

Post by Doctor_Possum »

Not really a bug as such. Something I noticed today, Walking Corpses and Souless can move in deep water (like skeletons can), yet they do not have the "submerge" ability listed in their description (am running Wesnoth 1.8.5 on Windows 7 64-bit). Is this merely an oversight?

submerge means that they are invisible in deep water, not that they can move in it.

While this is true, the description might lead to this confusion by saying that the unit does not need to come to the surface to breathe, which makes you assume they can move in deep water.

The description of the WCs doesn't say this anywhere... :hmm:
