Stalling might lose forged items?

Hello,

another question here, during a MP game I gave orders to forge 3 items, but missed the deadline for the next turn.

When I take a look at my lab on the turn after the stalled one I see neither of the 3 items.

I doubt that I changed the orders for 3 smiths by accident and none of the items was unique.

Is this a (known) bug or do you have any other ideas what might have happened ?

Here's a guess, stalling a turn means you do nothing, zip?

Having said that I am fairly sure when I have stalled patrol, preach orders and summon allies have been carried out as normal.

I don't think any new orders get to the server unless you submit them. Only orders which carry over from the last time you submitted orders.

There's no multi-turn forging orders (there should be, though!) Thus there's no way your orders made it to the server if your turn didn't.

If the host computer thinks you "stalled" then it means it didnt get your moves turned in. Whether thats because you actually didnt, or a bad file transmission, or whatever. So even though you thought you told it to make an item, the host apparently didnt get it (therefore the stall)

Hi,

I have not been clear in my previous post, actually it went like this:

Turn X: 3 Forge orders - turn got executed
Turn X+1: Stalled
Turn X+2: Can't find my forged items from turn X

There may be a random event where magic items get stolen from the lab, not 100% sure though.

Hmm, yup, that might be possible, actually I am not 100% sure if neither of the items was there or just the one I have been really looking for (edit: was not there)...

So you actually saw the time at one point?
Maybe assigned it to someone?
That would confuse me. It would be as if the host had restored from a backup.

Nope, I was unclear again (see my edit above, oh the joys of not being a native English speaker

).
