Bugs in RotD

I'm half way through map 2. Here's a list of the bugs that I've found so far:

General:
1) Whenever Burrow is cast, Jet Pack also activates. Intentional? If it is, please explain you logic.
2) Please pause all units during cinematics. I lost the game twice because while one unit had triggered the cinematic, another was being crushed by Creeps.
3) Spelling. This probably the greatest campaign ever released in the history of Warcraft. The only thing that keeps it from looking completely professional is that it’s infested with spelling mistakes.
4) Voices don't match units. What the voices of the units say during cinematics doesn't match the text that is displayed.

Specific:
1) Submap 1 - If you ally with the skeletons, there are 5 near the center of the map that prevent the hero from going forward. This might be the same if you play as the sea creatures.
2) Map 1 - At the beginning, the Undead can still attack you through the rocks, and since they are invulnerable, you can't fight back.
3) Map 2 - The Eastern Canyon quest doesn't have the completed icon in the Quest Menu.
4) Map 2 - If my heros die, the game doesn't end. Intentional?
5) Map 2 - If I save my game and reload, I get two Metamorphus.

If I'm wrong about any of these, please tell me.

[...]5) Map 2 - If I save my game and reload, I get two Metamorphus.[...]


And when you save the game again and reload it again you have 3 Metas and so on. Very nasty bug... :roll:

Submap 1 - The Dungeon

1. I choose Naga and skiped Cinematics, beat the King of the Skeletons and was beamed to the Naga King, hit esc very quick and dont get the Ring, it simple wasnt there.

2. I klicked on the exit and what do i see? My Spieder Guy (4get name) just crwawls over the wall to the left, touched the line and was no more, simple gone, not on the map.

Some comments on your texts and units:
1) Toxic Spiders can't learn Abolish Magic.
2) The Spider Base texts say nothing about them being able to revive dead hereos.
3) Whats with the Toxic Broodling model? It looks like the Spider projectile art.

Finished map 2, half way through map 3.
1) The duration of Mental Domination doesn't matck its texts.
2) Map 2 - What didn't the Undead harvest from their gold mine?
3) If Meta is killed in dragon form, then when he is revived, he is still in dragon form but has to flying height.
4) Shouldn't the Lumber Mill have the upgrades that the Spider Base does? I know its not a bug, but still...
5) Running Bombs have the Feral Spirit buff.
6) Attack Ground doesn't seem to work on trees.

BIG Bug: The Goblin's Alchemy ability will sometimes clear not display the optional items. This not only disables a very useful ability but also destroys your inventory.

Another smaller one: Why the Moon Key be dropped if it is a required item?

75% through map 3. I'm not exactly rushing through it, am I? Here's some more bugs:
Scorpion King:
1) Envenomed Weapons has no DISPASBTN icon.
2) Spawn Scorpions texts say that it spawns 5 Beetles.
3) What's the point in the King even having abilities if it is always burrowed?

4) Map 3 - When you pick up the potion of healing in the room with the horses, near the exit of the wizard's fortress, you get the message "xxx."

It always says 'xxxx' when the scorpion king picks up an item.
I've seen quite a few bugs, but nothing too serious -upto the point where I put down my dynamite in the undead base in map 4 or so, and meta put down *all 5 dynamites* on one circle - I can't pick them up anymore either, because it thinks you clicked the circle.

I can investigate the 'outland region' all I like; it doesn't do a thing.
Meta keeps trying to attack things in the UD base making him visible again.
The entire mission is rather easy.
Right now I'm just waiting until my guys have finally gathered 25,000 gold; that's STUPID.
There are double hotkey bindings - 'Build Spider [B]ase' and 'Build [B]arracs'[sic] for instance.
Meta's 'Burr[o]w' and 'Her[o] Abilities'
When at 50 food, switching meta to dragon form pops up the 'No Upkeep' message :).
The build animation of the Dragon base looks silly because it's so extremely slow.
Dragon Riders cost a little too much food compared to their effectiveness, I feel.

Just a few I noticed....

1)Polymorphed Scorpion king immediately burrows on recovery...and no longer has the unborrow option. Also can't get thigns from him...I found this out as he burrowed with my teleport crystal on the underground map. Then when I killed him, he reincarnted without the item. Also his reincarnation doodad stays around after he comes back to life.

2)My units kept the Charge Unit ability of the bronze aspect dragon throughout the level. Their attacks went into the negaties...Meta was at like -99 strikes...but it was still doing the lightning picture and extra damage...

I've seen probably the biggest bug in the camp.:
I donno in which map it was but i saved the game, i wasn't playing a few hours and then i loaded it again... and suddenly there where two metamorphus...
and just one of them gots the spider egg and if i wanna transform the metamorphus with the one im playing a new unit (dragon form meta) appears in the left upper corner where the other meta is placed too....
and now the best: to complete the map i have to fly to a little cave entrance but if im transforming my meta doesn't transform so i have to use the one in the corner but he doesn't have the spider eggs and i can't give them to the dragon from cause i can't put the item down....and now im in a mission in which i have to set up a spider base... but without the eggs it's impossible...... THIS SUX HARD MAN :evil: :evil:

I must (in mission 5) enter a labyrinth, but i cant! my units cannot enter it, because the entrance is too small!
