Attacked by Independents -without Event?
 

Is this a weird bug or can it legally happen?

I conquered a province from Caelum, and *that very turn* I was attacked in the just conquered land by a strong Indy force, who wiped out a valuable army (30 units). http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif There was *no* event message, no explanation for the attack at all. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Since when can Indies attack? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif They are supposed to behave passively and wait for the player to choose the right time and place to kill them!! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif And once killed, they are not supposed to reappear. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

Perhaps Caelum got the event message, since they owned the province at the start of the turn, and you got the event, since you owned it at the end ? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

I have seen indies attack provinces on several occasion, but I believe you get a message in addition to the battle report.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">This is most likely what happened, I have seen this happen several times. I get an even with indeps attacking, then an enemy nation attacks and steals the province, then the indeps attacks the enemy. All in the same turn.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Yup, I think that´s the only logical explanation.

That´s the trouble with nations who can´t keep their house in order, and suddenly innocent people taking their provinces away from them get attacked by anarchists! What is the world coming to? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif

Re: Attacked by Independents -without Event?
 

a ritual maybe.
not sure a global enchantment or a standard ritual. illusion-army/ghost ship/ghost rider or something like would cause this: a indy force attacked your province w/o event message.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">The ghost ship armada is flagged as belonging to the caster, I would imagine the other rituals are similar.

( E.g. when it attacks the combat replay is 'Ermor attacking Caelum' or whatever )

Void, there are a few answers.

It could be one of a few spells that is not directly attributed to another player casting it.

Beckoning (Was the fight Vine men and such?)

Imprint Souls (Flaggellants and Militia?)

Raging Hearts

I'm fairly certain that if any of those spells are cast, they are called independants until the provincce is conquerored.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">thanks for ur reply...anyway,it' not my question,Coffeedragon is the owner who confused ^^

just show the log to velk,for his little wrong conjecture:
<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">There are lots "ANONYMOUS" distant attack rituals..


btw, Imprint Souls IS NOT a anonymous ritual. Flaggellants and madman (not militia http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif ) under the caster's control.

Hrm. It's just that you are so easy to understand is why I understood http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Point that at Coffee then http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: Attacked by Independents -without Event?
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Here are some ANONYMOUS distant attack spells:

Ghost rider.(on the other hand, you can judge accurately that who is the caster)
Phantasmal Attack.
Beckoning.
Seeking Arrow.
Blight.
Raging Heart.
Baleful Star.
Volcanic.
Tidal Wave.
Black Death.

Not sure that Earth Attack is an anonymous spell or not..

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I am not confused at all; http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif Tacticus cleared that up already.

I was attacked by typical Indies: Heavy Cavalry, Light Cavalry, and Militia. Most certainly an event, not a spell.
