Re: Inscrutable, or Insane?
 

No problem with Mictlan's ribbing. Just trying to emphasize that there have been some strange incongruities with the battle replays lately.

I had thought the incongruity was due to the version shift mid-game. But I was playing a new blitz today and experience similar oddities (the battle replay had nothing to do with the actual results). I was told that it may be because I am playing on a mac.

I wonder, is there anyone else in our group using a mac? And if so, have they experienced any odd behavior with the battle replay?

Please continue with the antics. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Inscrutable, or Insane?
 

These symptoms have shown up before. A game save (if its not on a host) would help the devs pin it down. But on my server Id suspect its the update catching up.

Groundhog Day
 

OOC: Well, this is totally weird. I got exactly the same events this turn as last turn. 3 random events, in the same provinces, all the same, and one of them pretty much sucks. Did this happen to everyone?

Mictlan would know if anyone desires two implementor axes, both in mint condition. Hopefully will we not be finding one of these every turn.

The Day of Glory
 

Hellheim proudly announces that snakes has been beaten in two great battles. There will be no more illness and diesieses on our lands. Our witches can finally go back to their labs and start researching... The might of C'its has been finally broken and all the Nations of the Unlucky World can now live in peace. This is the day we all shall remember...

Kojus Maximus, Hellheim

Re: The Day of Glory
 

The Council of Sauromancers had a good laugh at the misguided proclamation of the Senile Kojus in the weekly Toastmasters Meeting.

This will be the day we all remember as the day the Witches of Hellheim runs back to their Capital with their brooms between their legs as the remnants of their shattered invading army scatter into the hills of C'tis heartland.

Perhaps the messengers of Hellheim are so ashamed of their defeat in which near a hundred of their glamored infantry and Knights were slaughtered by the C'tis Heavy Infantry.

To the world at large, here is the truth. There were two battles, aye. The main Hellheim Invading Army was crushed before it even reached the C'tis Capital. The second battle was 4 provinces away in the direction of the Hellheim heartland, and was composed of independent missile troops. Merely a diversion consisting of poorly trained chaff.

Any illnesses or diseases surely did not come from C'tis lands. Perhaps the nation of Hellheim should look into what their witches are brewing right under their noses instead.

OOC: Did you patch? My war battle replay and the actual army count after seems to tally. And it shows me as owning the province where the battle occured.
OOC: Can someone check the graphs if it shows C'tis gaining a province and Hellheim losing a province?

Re: The Day of Glory
 

The world can check the stats....

OOC1 I have patched - that is why your missiles units were so good againts my troops. But I agree it is strange that it was YOUR province we were fighting (the one next to your capital)
OOC2 It is ok - I lost one you gained one.

Problems connecting again
 

Now I'm getting the "waiting for info" thing repeatedly.

For the last couple of turns its been random, try once or twice then the next usually gets in. Tried 6 times so far, will keep trying

edit: Figures, next time I tried, no problem

Re: Problems connecting again
 

Well, I tried 4 times in a row and came here to post that this is getting old. The I saw your post, so with hope unbounded, I tried again only to fail.....again. I am about an inch from advertising for a sub, or worse.

Re: Problems connecting again
 

keep at it, even with the annoyance of trying 6 times it still only took like 5 minutes.

I use the shortcut on the web directory
double click
see "waiting for info"
ctrl-alt-delete, task manager
don't do anything other than right click, close the dom tab
wait a sec
click end task
wait a few secs
click don't send
close task manager
repeat
takes maybe a minute or so on my comp

The first 6 times I also had firefox, outlook up and closed them for the time it worked. I really think it was coincidental, but you never know.

Re: Problems connecting again
 

Still not sure what the problems are. But keep in mind one difference that this game has over the blitzes on the same server. It takes half an hour to host.

Again, if someone wants to PM an email address I can have the game send you an email each time it finishes hosting
