A gold pile has a chance to appear even if no one dies there. Right when the gates create heroes.

So I suppose some kind of error might be there after all, not just a game design issue.

I had a case a few days ago when a beast killed a beastmaster at arena in the home realm right after I loaded it. No idea how it happened, or how the beastmaster even managed to get to the arena battle zone, as far as I know they stay outside of it.

Also, sometimes I've seen a worker or two inside the arena battle zone (they didn't fight though), so my guess is sometimes creatures fall to the arena and start fighting, while lacking the usual protection from death.

Even more true for vampires.

As far as I understand, these doors are special, and the only way to open them is to attack them. No matter what you did in the editor.

Насколько я понимаю, это специальные двери, которые можно открыть только вселившись в кого-нибудь и атаковав их обычной атакой. Независимо от того, какие настройки выставлены в редакторе.

Uhh, it looks pretty yellow to me.

Version is 1.4.0f111.

This is my home realm. I tried to reset it, didn't helped.

This is my campaign map.

As you can see, only the last level remained. Titans should already be unlocked.

I think this is happened because I beat two previous campaign levels before the last hot fix, and home realm progression was broken during that time. This is why now you can't reproduce it now. I dunno how to fix it. Am I supposed to start the whole campaign anew now?

After restarting the map everything was available again in campaign, but not in home realm.

Same here. I captured him, tortured, eventually converted. Nothing happened.

I figured as much. After 3 slaps didn't worked, I attacked it continuously with 3-4 slaps per second, and no other creatures were involved. I have a theory that it was too busy with training beasts at arena to be dismissed.

No, no saves. I will test it more, but not with home realm broken as it is atm.
