Summary0000407: Creature Banks - Sometimes all 5 defending stacks are upgraded
DescriptionI've had it happening only once with Cyclops Stockpile and once with Dwarven Treasury, but I guess it's really random for all banks (you can use the savegame in 0000404 to attempt to reproduce). It's not really an issue, I kinda like the surprise challenge :) but I don't think we had the same in OH3. It feels more like a nice WoG script, but AFAIK those ERM files should not interact with VCMI.
Steps To Reproduce
Additional InformationThanks to Boulie's note below, now we know more info about how this should work:

- Dragon Fly Hives should always have Dragon Flies

- Imp Cache, Dwarven Treasury, Medusa Stores, Naga Bank and Cyclops Stockpile have 4 stacks unupgraded always, with a random probability that the 5th stack is upgraded

- I added info about Griffin Conservatory in the 5th note below. Crypt is handled separately in 0000426. I'm not sure if there are other banks still left out.
TagsNo tags attached.

I kinda remembered 1 stack of upgraded creatures, but I wasn't sure. But what I was pretty sure of, was that I never encountered upgraded only. Many thanks for the details above - it should help fix this the right way. ;)

Tow/Warmonger: could one of you confirm whether r1531 has been included in the updated 0.80? I do seem to notice a difference in the amount of defenders (though that can be a coincidence), but the main problem is not yet fixed. I still get (like 40% of the time) upgraded creatures only.

I am reopening this because chronologically it was declared as fixed 3 hours before the final 0.80 package was built, so it may be that a partial fix is in there, however the banks do not behave as expected.

It can also be that r1531 was not included in 0.80, but then at least I'm posting this as a heads up on how the other creature banks (not mentioned in Boulie's note) should behave:

- Dragon Fly Hives should have only Dragon Flies (mentioned briefly by Boulie, but just to clarify)

- Griffin Conservatory:
50 Griffins for 1 Angel : Horde of Griffins (5*10) /or/ Lots of Griffins (4*10) & Pack of Royal Griffins (10)
100 Griffins for 2 Angels : Throng of Griffins (5*20) /or/ Horde of Griffins (4*20) & Lots of Royal Griffins (20)
150 Griffins for 3 Angels : Throng of Griffins (5*30) /or/ Throng of Griffins (4*30) & Lots of Royal Griffins (30)
200 Griffins for 4 Angels : Throng of Griffins (5*40) /or/ Throng of Griffins (4*40) & Lots of Royal Griffins (40)

Please check if these are also implemented as they should.

It is fixed, but not included in the package.

And the code is general for all banks, you don't need to list all creatures as they're in config files.

I cannot reopen this issue but it should be.
I'm nearly sure that I've written somewhere about it.
Upgraded stack should appear always on the left bottom corner of the screen.
See attached screen.

Closed, as the main issue reported has been fixed since 0.81.

There are a couple of related items reported in the comments above, for which I opened reports 0000747 & 0000748 to keep track of them.
