Hi

I accidentally summoned the intermediate green drake outside the map with an elite troll shaman.
The 5 units disappeared but the drake wasn't summoned.
Also strangely enough the troll shaman could still use attack/spells like nothing happened.
Even the cooldown for the summoning was unaffected.
Just the 5 units disappeared.
I even tried to use the arrows to skip through units just in case was somehow selectable.

If you fail to summon than action is not spent thus you can still cast and cooldown is not applied.

And because it is not a bug.

On the other hand i think we must change behaviour (or maybe add new one?) of sacrifices that they will be used after spell is completed, not before.

The problem is that when you use the resurrection of the drake and miss (and in my case, I pressed the skill 2 times), then although the action is not spent, those whom you sacrificed die and it turns out that you killed 5-7 units and did not summon the dragon. So I think this is a mistake.

This is not a mistake.
It is wrong work of engine that is need to be adjusted.

Yea I can see the logic here.
Checking for prerequisites then doing the action.

Glad to help reporting other bugs if I find more.

@Stratego (dev) is it possible to change behaviour of summoning abilities with sacrifices required? So sacrifices will be used AFTER you put summoned unit onto map, not BEFORE.

sure, needs coding, put it into needs list.
