Weird SEIV error: The Premonition

Iron Giant · #1 June 22nd, 2005, 09:37 AM

While playing last night I was Alt+tabbing to a spreadsheet I was working on. I got an alert about a battle that I was not expecting. The Xiati had 25 ships orbiting my homeworld, but we had been brotherly!

He attacked me, wiped out my homeworld, destroyed my 3 space stations and some older ships. I was thinking crap crap, crappity crap! I had no real defence of my entire home system, he'll devastate me!

So when the AI player turns were done, I clicked on my homeworld and.... no damage !!??!! His ships were there, my homeworld was fine and we were still Brotherly.

What????? I've never seen this before....

So it attacked and destroyed your world in its turn, then finished the turn and suddenly it was back to before

. Sounds like a major glitch.

Ya, his turn he destroyed my homeworld. Then when I had control I couldn't see any declaration of war, and my system was just fine and we were still brotherly.

Did it occur in simultaneous or turn-based mode?

Turnbased. I had tabbed out to work on the spreadsheet (turns take way too long for someone with ADD on a PIII500

).

I am wondering if the combat you saw was actually one between two other races. There have been some bugs like that occasionally where you get a view of another races empire. If you still have the turn saved you should open up all the AI players and see if any of them just lost a planet.
