Well that's a glitch I've never seen before... a hero got duped.

I was playing my custom XL SOD map I made 1½ years ago, recruiting heroes for every captured town in the hopes of getting a high-level hero that formerly belonged to another team. Suddenly I noticed Rissa was recruitable... but I already had her in another town.
She had some troops with her, in fact the exact troops that the original Rissa had. So I noticed because I put the dupe's troops on another hero then dismissed her.

Then it got weird.

A while later, the last enemy had recruited the fake Rissa and was chasing down one of the unguarded towns. I could've fought her with my main hero maybe, but I instead took my original Rissa out of her town and had her run about the map. This caused the fake to disappear. But then after I was done with my turn, the enemy was controlling MY Rissa and moving her about. I didn't like this, so next turn I dismissed her. I made my moves, ended the turn, and then the game crashed.

Anybody see this before? Or better yet, know what caused it and how to prevent it?

Wow that sounds wacky. Never had something like that happen before.

That's strange. That is a bug that was meant to be fixed in one of the RoE patches, which I would have thought you'd need to have applied to install SoD or would be applied during the install.
Though I vaguely remember it occurring to me a long time ago, I've no idea what causes it.

This exact thing happened to me once years ago. A friend of mine has a save in which there are two Brons as starting heroes for different players on a random map, with one having double the troops and exp, while the other one just... isn't there. I just love it when weird glitches like that happen, it's always interesting.
