No. The old scale-loss bug was intermittent. The recent patch fixed it--and introduced a new one: now, a province's scales change depending on its neighbours' scales, regardless of dominion. So if you have Order-3 and Growth-3, but your opponent has Turmoil-3 and Death-1 for example, and he owns some of your province's neighbours, you can kiss your good scales goodbye.

Still, I...think...KO has recently indicated that this is indeed a bug, although he's being annoyingly murky about it, possibly due to ESL. If it is a bug that is going to be fixed soon, then my initial start will be rather severely weakened by a loss of roughly 25% of my wealth--but then a start could be hampered by poor positioning too, for example. If I get my scales back in another patch soon, I'll keep playing. ; )

--Oh, and changing the IP fixed things for me.
