Stronghold Legends - In game glitch, merlin glitch

(Click on image above to see floating merlin glitch)

SUMMARY OF GAME:

During this online King of the Hill game, I was playing against two T.E.E. Clan members. During the economy building, I noticed that one of the T.E.E. clan members had placed spear men on an empty estate allowing him to take that estate as his when peace time was over. Big cheat. This is the kind of map cheats you have to find on the map preview before the game starts. I failed to notice the extra little dots my enemy's adjacent estate prior to gameplay. Anyways I beat them both of course, but I kept on asking them why the cheated. One of the clan members exclaimed " You have a flying merlin!". I looked around in the map and noticed merlin foating in the air as if he was wielding anti-gravity sandals. Well I disbanded Merlin faster then one can say 'merlin sandals'. That is still no excuse why this T.E.E. member pre-made a map with spear men on one estate. Anyways, this glitch happened when the TEE member used bats against merlin, sending him flying in the air. Merlin just decided to stay up in the air for some reason.

SUMMARY OF GLITCH:

Merlin in air is the result from Merlin being on top of a seige tower while being hit by bats. The glitch happens more often when you try to move Merlin just before he is hit by bats or Percival. This glitch can also happen to ice queen when knocked of seige towers. I presume that this glitch is more dominate in the slow moving ice queen, sorcerer and Merlin because when you move them just before they get hit, the program has to process their movements slower that the reaction time of the percival blast. Who knows. I never was able to perfect this glitch nor understand it. So far, it only works on Percival, the Sorcerer, and Ice Queen.

NOTE: I tryed to take the picture above the best I can, I even did it in sky view. Depth perception is a little off in Stronghold Legends some times, but you can clearly see Merlin floating in air.
