Default Re: Routing bug

so are you implying that the host computer and my computer each have different films and different results? this seems highly unlikely, as I have never seen it happen in any other battle except in these few cases where they differ? all the other times in all the other battles, they are the same, and if this phenomenon happened to other people, others would have commented on it and *****ed like me.

I don't see how it is "unlucky" to have a vastly different result on film than in the message.

I could see if only one extra commander died, or a few men didn't make it, that it was maybe a difference in computers or random generation (although if they do differ, then I think this is by definition a bug, as we should see exactly what happened on the host) , but in my battle it was completely opposite, 12 of 13 died instead of 2 of 13 leaders for me, and 2 of about 25 leaders of his died instead of like 17 of 25.

something is wrong for this much discrepancy, I don't think I just saw an alternate result of the algorithm, since my film had such a landslide victory, and I had sooo many good units. again, my first wave of blade winds killed 8 of 13 theugs, on the message it said only 2 leaders died in the ENTIRE BATTLE? with all my firepower, (see above) this just couldn't have happened.
I hope someone who is familiar with the code suggests a reason for this bug, as it make this game (which until now I considered one of the best games of all time) unplayable in my opinion.
