Re: I lost?
 

Please post a Bug Report. I know thats what fixed Glory2. You will be asked to send your turn files and other stuff. That sounds horrible, Maybe you should ask for a rollback of the turn.:D

Iron Duke:

Ask llamabeast [if it's PBEM on llamaserver, otherwise ask game admin] to check both your and opponent's turn.

Re: I lost?
 

The boars are mercenaries I hired that turn. They aren't part of the bug. I was curious if they would show up to defend the province and they didn't.

Re: I lost?
 

How do I make a bug report? I've done some reading and it seems people got the same bug every now and then but not that frequent. The only advice was to live with it, which is not helping since I got them twice in 3 turns attacking the same province and the loss pretty much knocked me out of the game.

Re: I lost?
 

It's worth noting that the defeat isn't exactly unfair. It's just that the battle could have worked out differently, depending on chance. In the version you saw, you won. In the version the server ran, you lost. But your troops did get to fight fairly nonetheless, it's just that unfortunately you don't get to see the battle they fought and so you can't see what went wrong.

This is not a server issue and is a Dom3 issue. I've had a little flurry of these reports lately (I think because of this and another thread), and at some point I'll try to gather and test the files and send them to Illwinter. Right now though I'm bogged down in real life, and just can't face bug hunting. I have a fairly long list of server tweaks to make as well. It'll all get done soonish, but not right now.

Interesting but I was sure I'd win. With all the firepower and mages. Thanks for the answer, though I don't wanna play if I can't see the battles thoroughly and see what actually happens :(

Re: I lost?
 

I can understand that. I think you've been very unlucky though, it's a pretty rare bug. Never happened to me in all the games I've played. Considering there's a few hundred turns taken a day on the LlamaServer alone and only a few reports of this bug, I think it is genuinely rare. So, it's a real bummer that it happened to you twice.

Did it happen in the same province both times? Maybe that's a clue.

Re: I lost?
 

Would you be able to see what actually happened if you ran the game under linux?

Re: I lost?
 

It depends. Any kind of bug may result into faulty battle reports. If it's because operating systems are handled differently, using the same OS as the server could show how the battle originally went. If it's due to some other reason, that won't help.

Re: I lost?
 

Maybe it's worth a try. I have both Windows XP and SuSe linux installed, although I never use the later. Iron Duke, you could send me the .trn file and I could try to install dominions under linux and see whether the battle replays differently.
