Re: Boiling the Ocean (Organizing)
Now that you mentioned it, yeah. It was twice as high on turn 1 as the next best guy. Ermor got close thanks to the mercenary group of 20 + 1 commander... Hmm. Actually, it's possible he got the flagellant (or the militia) event on first turn which would've effectively doubled the amount of people he had, so that is explainable. If it was excessively over being double the second guy, it'd be suspicious.
The only unexplainable thing in my view is the 8 commanders in Hall of Fame. I'm really hoping it's a bug (which it probably is), and different people's commanders are being shown there as Arcoscephale's. Although Tien Chi's god shows as Tien Chi's hero, and none of the names that show up on the Hall of Fame were in the list of new prophets...
Seriously, this is weird.
EDIT: I was just told on IRC that the game does bug sometimes on this point and gives Arco credit for commanders he really doesn't have, so it apparently was what I really hoped it was. A bug. That's good. Although, after thinking about it, the thing with his army size can't be about an event. Events don't happen on turn 1. Could it be a bug related to the Hall of Fame bug? Since otherwise he started with like 20-30 troops more that shouldn't have been there, and that doesn't sound very feasible.
Yet Another Edit: I think the Army Size graph is screwed up. Caelum gets 15 + 15 and is halfway to Arco's troop amount, but somehow Mictlan who starts with 15 + 20 is actually even below Caelum. I think it shouldn't be trusted for now, just like we shouldn't trust the Hall of Fame for now, from the looks of it.
Unless somehow Caelum and Arco are x1111111771ng out of the roof, which I'm sort of doubting. ;p
