I am not affected. I am also in Hadrian's game and didn't have it there either.

It is an old bug, from Dom2 at least, maybe even Dom1. It happens on other maps too.

Restarting because of it would be IMO crazy, since it would make a lot of people unhappy, and I don't think there is anything you can do to ensure it wont hit someone again.

*edit*
I forgot to describe it... It gives you wrong scales initially, simple as that. If you took great scales, it hurts. If you took bad scales, it helps. I don't know the specifics exactly, but I'm pretty sure the scales will revert to their correct state with time.

I agree 100% with what Teraswaerto says above.

The scales bug has had the following effect on me:-

I took order-3, growth-3, magic-1. The bug hit this turn and for some mad reason just leaves you with whatever magic/drain scale you had. So now I have magic-1. So 240 design points down the drain. Not so bad if it hits later on but a serious setback this early.

I have heard other players talk about it before and it seems, slowly over a period of time to correct itself. I will give it 1/2 a dozen turns or so and see what happens.

Just did another test with Atlantis on Faerun map and 20 turns in, had still not got the bug. So it seems just very, very random. AFAIK it has effected people playing Faerun/cradle of dominion maps.

Will do other tests when I have a chance and start a main thread in the forum and see if anyone knows more.

You recognize, Tyrant, that you're turn 1 scales should be 100% deterministic, being exactly as you specified in your pretender setup? If you chose poor scales in your pretender setup, you could be experiencing the bug, and that would actually be a good thing for your initial position.

I guess i was not clear. My scales are mixed by design and they are manifesting as they shoud be, both the good and the bad.

Im currently being a little effected, having lower levels in the positive scales i picked but still being left with the negative misfortune. I attribute these scales to my currently low dominion level.

I am really just talking about capital only scales, not surrounding provinces. Your capital only scales should only be exactly what you set them up as, both good and bad (the only exception, random events).

wow, we're just waiting on four players now. if we go much faster, i'll get in another turn before i leave (unlikely, but possible!)

I am aware of the scale bug and I am NOT experiencing it in this game. I honestly don't think faerun is the specific causes for it.

I always thought once you got it, it slowly fixed itself. But, it does sucketh most greviously to lose all that cash, early in the game. I don't remember it affecting growth, but maybe it does.

But as someone mentioned I look at it like the other randoms like losing your temple, lab or getting capitol unrest early in the game,
