at times, cannot initiate combat

At times, when you have opportunity to attack - you do it and then nothing happens.

You have to end turn and then in the next turn only you are able to get into combat.

This is on Samsung Galaxy J5, Android 6.0.1 - 0.7.1 game via fdroid

Are you tapping the attack button or tapping on the screen? I've had it happen where I'll tap on the screen and can't attack but I can if I use the button. Also if you're having thw same problem I did restarting the game fixes it

You can check attack focus. Long press the enemy, if he turns reddish, it means he wasn't focused, and thus you can't attack. Otherwise, you may have an actor condition lowering your AP or increasing your attack cost. There's a known (and since corrected) bug that displays incorrect AP and attack cost, so you may have not noticed the actor condition's effect.

The attack focus is there, but have been tapping the screen i.e. the enemy, didn't know about the attack button, that works. Will initiate some more and see if that works.

You can tap anywhere to attack (normally), no need to tap on the enemy precisely.

Anyway, I'd like to know more about your issue. If you manage to reproduce it, could you give me detailed steps ?

It was reproduced quite a few times. I wish I could help you with debugging it . I do have adb and do have usb debugging turned on my phone.

Anyways, this happens randomly, what happens is the following -

a. I wait and surprise the enemy so I get the first strike.
b. there is no use, all of the above , i.e. just hitting on the screen, hitting on the enemy or hitting on the attack button, at times all three don't work and the only choice I have is end turn giving the advantage to my enemy again :(

It's only after his/her turn has finished that I'm able to counter-attack and hence lose the surprise advantage.

Hi there.

I can consistently reproduce this issue with the following steps (version 0.7.0):
  • While getting attacked by an enemy during their turn, press the Back button and load a savegame.
  • At this point, you can no longer attack anyone (or flee) until you let an enemy finish one turn.
Hope that helps!

Thanks. It really helps. I can't reproduce it with the dev version I have, so maybe I inadvertently fixed it in the meantime, but I'll take a look.

I have found another way:
  • Enter the attack confirmation dialog.
  • Rotate your phone. By the way, your enemy gets a free turn each time you rotate the phone (while the dialog is open).
  • Tap OK to proceed with the attack.
  • At this point, you will be rendered unable to attack or flee until the enemy finishes another turn.

Actually I found that way earlier hence have put the phone in only way, 'portrait' but still the issue happens now and then.

Btw I have developer options opened up and usb debugging is on and I do have adb on my linux system and can see the phone via gvfs as mounted under /run/user/1000/gvfs/mtp:somealphanumer-number/

Lemme know how I can help.
