I don't think these can be duplicated.

They're just random glitches...

I've seen many of my scouts die a horrible death while stuck off the edge of a cliff in Graves Blood.

Nice shots...

...The Pyramid is being attacked and damaged. Not sure if you can damage the building with triggers because I never tried. The fire, flags, and snow, is the damage animation for it.

The units appearing to be climbing the Castle is also a normal phenomenon if you will, and can occur with other buildings too.

It looks good when the unit is a villager or militia is up on the sides of buildings because it appears as if they are repairing it.

Yes, exploiting bugs and glitches in the editor is a basic approach to creating tricks.

Nice shots...

The strangest glitch occurred in a game of Graves Blood. CrystalCrown, BrandNewCar, and I were playing (needless to say, we were winning), then all of a sudden, a cyan (or was it yellow?) player's cavalier FLOATED across the screen!

It floated over cliffs, walls, water...all the way until it reached the area where the booting tents are located. Then, it stopped for a moment, but then continued until it reached the extreme south of the map (where gold mines are located) and it STAYED there. The cavalier stayed in its idle animation throughout.

Too bad I didn't capture a screenshot, when this strange phenomenon occurred.

The glitch that I've seen the most is when a part of a cliff disappears (as well as the boundary) from the game. I believe this is due to the fact that dead units piled up on the cliff (when units are killed on a cliff i.e. buildings, trees, etc., that tile of the cliff no longer retains its boundary). This can be especially frustrating in multiplayer scenarios where the cliff serves a great purpose as a defensive structure.

EDIT: I know for a fact that the second screenie can be easily duplicated (units on castles). Simply fully garrison a castle and block at least 3 of the sides, and ungarrison. Voila! As for the villager building on the foundation/building, remember DM's edit of Grave Blood?

I remember the first time I encountered disappearing cliff glitches. It happened in a game of Helm's Deep. It happened on the worst possible cliff too. The one with the castle on it. A bunch of our archers disappeared with it.

The glitch that happens to me the most is where a Galleon sails onto land, and sits there, unmovable. It will never turn or move unless attacking someone (it shoots without any problems).
At first I thought it happened when I changed the formation in a narrow stream, and a ship accidently went onto land when taking its place. But I have recently converted an enemy ship that was stuck the same way.

Also once I had a big battle between my Heavy Cavalry Archers and Knights and my enemy's Cataphracts, and when the Cataphracts started fleeing, one of them rode "backwards" for about two seconds. The animation of ride to the right was used in a ride to the left.

That's happened to me before.

Never thought of that. That glitch simply used a create object effect. Remember the Dough RPG (I was the buildings )? I created a bunch of scouts at the same time, and they were put on top of the stable.

Repairing is different from building. A builder on top of the foundation is continouslly tasked off the foundation; a builder isn't.

Quote:

The villager can be easily pasted/ungarrisoned onto a building, but foundations are not available as structures in the map editor. That bug can only be reproduced through lag.

_{And, yes. I remember DM's edit of Grave Blood.}

Gee, I wonder why...

On a side note, how many screenshots have you taken? I have about 150 screenshots, which explains all the pictures I can post.

I have had all 999 AoC screenshots there for over a month now... I also have 700 AoK screenshots. I delete them all every now and then to use them up again with worthless pictures - I take about 60 or so pictures per games. Once I took 400 in one game of graves blood.

I'm a maniac, I know.
