There's a chance you'll lose your hero on any failed scouting or attack even if the hero was at 100 loyalty before the attack. This is because: 100-5 (for losing) = 95; therefore you have a 5% chance of losing it.
I'm retired so I can't really give you any more info than that. What I will say is that just because you have a 1 in 20 chance of losing your hero this way, doesn't mean that every 20 scouts/attacks you lose you will lose your hero. It could be 40 lost hits before you lose a hero or 10. See what I'm getting at?
i think what mostwanted is getting at was before it was impossible to lose your hero on a scouting mission. I have never heard of anyone losing a hero before and have sent my hero out on plenty of scouting missions. Evony may have changed it and not said anything.
I have never lost a hero on a scouting mission on 3 different servers... and i scout a lot =P I think sometimes people hit "attack" on accident (and don't wanna admit it =P ) :duh::duh::duh::duh::duh:
I always use my best heroes to scout with and have never lost it, I do it everyday.. Im thinking they were probably attacking instead of scouting too.
Mine had a loyatly of 15 yesterday while I was scout and I didnt lose it
Considering a failed scouting does not lower your hero's loy I don't see how it's even possible. I know I've never lost one on a scouting before.
Actually, I'd have to dispute the point.
It has not occurred to my knowledge in the past; it is occurring with great frequency now. Admittedly, the possibility may always have been there, but it did not happen often enough to be widely commented upon.
Now, however, many active players are noticing that scouting heroes are occasionally lost. We've also seen a greater frequency of heroes lost on failed attacks.
It seems evident that the probability has increased; no more, no less.
I would like to ask, though... in what fashion does it become incumbent on the game designers to notify us when a relatively minor fine-tuning of the game probabilities on certain servers is likely to alter gameplay? As with all of the hidden portions of the game, it is the responsibility of none but ourselves to discover it -- and by means of our own choice to disseminate the information as we wish, whether by means of this Forum or through communication only within our own alliances, presumably to harness the full benefit of knowledge of the change for our own nefarious ends.
Losing a hero when scouting is rare, in fact almost unheard of but here's the thing...YOU CAN!
Your opponent does not in fact actually capture the hero it merely disappears a bit like when you cap a city, when you finally take it, that juicy defending hero you've had your eye on isn't in the FH like you hoped.
People from my server have complained to evony saying this was a bug but evony has written back stating that this is all part of the mechanics of the game.
I'm afraid that this is what happens sometimes. If you're unlucky enough for a hero to vanish when you scout, just put it down to experience. Not much of a consolation but nothing you can do.:(
