Default Re: Possible bug??: territory flips to enemy

There aren't any bugs of this "quality" in DOM for a long time .. we would have spotted and the devs would have squashed them long ago.
It could have been introduced lately by a patch, bu that is rather unlikely. What happend is:

- You where under siege in turn 73
- Pangaea was in front of your gates with about 120 units

- you moved in Tempestus the Windmaster and some 30 Sylphs
- you set all your troops inside the castle to "break siege"
- unfortunately, Pan moved in another 100+ units via Isle of Man ...

Result: your reenforcements and the castle troops meet outside the walls to battle the sieging force - which nearly completely anihilates your troops. (Empty) castle changes hands afterwards.
