MP game autobuild?

licker · #1 March 3rd, 2009, 12:22 AM

In one of my MP games everytime I open a new turn my capitol already has builds and (most annoyingly) a new tax rate set.

The builds aren't so bad because it's nominally what I'm building anyway, but this shouldn't be happening anyway right?

The change of tax rate (to 150) is highly annoying, as I have missed it from time to time, and thus suffer the unrest and lower income to reduce that unrest.

Is there some setting or is this some kind of bug?

This really sounds like there are two people playing the same nation in the MP game.

Indeed it does, but this is in the turn from llamaserver.

I'm also playing Tir na n'Og, so no crazies in my lineup

Well other than a suicidal Shide Lord who can't seem to get himself killed no matter what odds he faces...

Notably, Llamaserver doesn't verify the incoming e-mail address, so anybody can send turns in for you.

Or it's The Three Faces of Licker! You haven't been messing around in the Void Gate, have you?

Someone sending in a turn for me would not generate a turn from llama with orders already issued would it?

Not that anyone should be sending in turns for me. I did have a sub at one point, but had him for 3 games, and only one is showing weird behavior.

When I open the turn, it is a fresh turn, there is no 'continue where I left option'.

I can assue you I most definitely have not been continuing to play in any of the games I subbed for.

When you download the turn file, you are getting the ".trn" file, and it won't ask you to continue where you left off, unless there is a corresponding, current ".2h" file -for that turn- already existing in your local folder.

Also, while Llamaserver does not care where the ".2h" is sent from, it only delivers the ".trn" file to a single email at any given time. Thus, the mystery person would not only have to have access to your email account, but also replicate everything else you did for the turn, but only change the tax rate. That's like weird, stalkery, Charles Manson type stuff there.

Did you tax+patrol earlier in the game? It could be that if at one point you had taxes at 150% on purpose, that it really is somehow generating an artifact that places variables in only that province back to the same settings (150% tax + same recruitment) every turn somehow.

No no, I don't think the sub had anything to do with it, though I suppose somehow it's possible the subbing screwed something up, though I have no idea how that would work.

Anyway, rdonj, the game we were most worried about is now perhaps the most promising, while the other 2 are just messy. Then again I had no great expectations for my ability with Tir, but I was curious to see how easily I would be defeated

Check the unrest in the province. Over 100?
No units built and your que from the turn before persists into your next turn.
