The battles of Wickwood: As our army approached the capitol of Calem we noticed that the poor inhabitants were under siege of Troglodytes. We watched two Eagle Kings get tenderized before these foul beasts. When we dispersed these beasts did the people rejoice? No the rude buggers shut their castle gates. Imagine that, how rude. For this affront we declare the need for a change of administration. We will not rest till this is accomplished.:D

PS. Abysia if you give me 15 earth gems for each pair of boots, I will happily have my cobblers make some shoes for you. :D

As the ruler of caelum i hereby admit my defeat against hinnom,
but i will still let you wait until the walls have been destroyed before i let you have my lands.
(I admit defeat mostly because someone played with matches in the arcane laboratory :()

Yeah, you must of had a horrible set of disasters. Good Shooting btw, that set of arrows was almost devistating. I'll have to do that sometime. Thanks for being a good sport, and I hope to play with you again. :D

Atlantis and I have been getting wierd replays of our battles. Its pretty hard to decide what to do next when what is happening is unclear.

Uh, oh, please look in the main Dom forum. I Lost? Is the post. Iron Duke the poster. Does your problem match? I had a weird battle as well. But I ascribed it to just bad luck. Now I'm worried. If it does match then its time to post the darn thing as a bug. We also might consider a roll back. And see if it repeats. You should save the turn file for further analysis. In fact I'm going to back up all turns from now on.:D

Re: Kickabout - Game Started.
 
Well twice now I had to suck it up that my win didn't show on battle reports and I already lost the backbone of my army, coral guards due to the bug. I'll go AI if this keeps up. Needless to say I'm quite pissed.

AFAIK the bug doesn't "change" the battle results Iron Duke... just shows the battle happening in an incorrect way. Annoying but it shouldn't be ground breaking. Nevertheless, I suggest you to tell llama about those turns - twice in a row seems very weird.

Iron Duke October 18th, 2008 06:34 AM

Re: Kickabout - Game Started.
 
Most likely not true. I watch my 8 mages with evo-5 powerup beat the snot out of enemy's antlered shamans and pd, coral guards standing against enemy iron warriors and not flinching, yet in the end I got 1 surviving coral guard who retreated back. I got everything on my favor yet still I lose. There's something definately wrong with this.

Should we roll the turn back? Its been done before. I want a vote please. I would like everyone to backup their trn file if we do so. I'm gonna save my turns from now on anyway. Hmm maybe we should organize a Vista friendly server to solve this problem in future games. :D

Hi Guys.

After reading the thread describing the bug I don't think a roll back is the correct course of action.

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.
Whilst I sympathise with Iron Duke not being able to see what went wrong this paragraph makes it quite clear that Ulm won two perfectly fair victories and so to undo Ulm's victories would be unfair on him.
