I am not affected. I am also in Hadrian's game and didn't have it there either.

It is an old bug, from Dom2 at least, maybe even Dom1. It happens on other maps too.

Restarting because of it would be IMO crazy, since it would make a lot of people unhappy, and I don't think there is anything you can do to ensure it wont hit someone again.

*edit*
I forgot to describe it... It gives you wrong scales initially, simple as that. If you took great scales, it hurts. If you took bad scales, it helps. I don't know the specifics exactly, but I'm pretty sure the scales will revert to their correct state with time.
I agree 100% with what Teraswaerto says above.

The scales bug has had the following effect on me:-

I took order-3, growth-3, magic-1. The bug hit this turn and for some mad reason just leaves you with whatever magic/drain scale you had. So now I have magic-1. So 240 design points down the drain. Not so bad if it hits later on but a serious setback this early.

I have heard other players talk about it before and it seems, slowly over a period of time to correct itself. I will give it 1/2 a dozen turns or so and see what happens.

Just did another test with Atlantis on Faerun map and 20 turns in, had still not got the bug. So it seems just very, very random. AFAIK it has effected people playing Faerun/cradle of dominion maps.

Will do other tests when I have a chance and start a main thread in the forum and see if anyone knows more.
