Routing bug

Plus watching the film, you get a since of each die role being made, each hit being calculated, and see the men slowly lose hit points as they are hit, It follows logically how the code is set up.

A single die roll that happens diffferently on your computer from the host is all that it takes to cause the rest of the battle to be widely different.

I beleive somehow the results may be calculated, the film generated, and then the results switched when sent to the message board and to the main code/program, which misrepresents them in the main game.

The results are calculated by the host. It saves the seed to the random number generator at the beginning of the battle. The replay then takes this seed, and runs an identical algorithm to get the same results.

Any insights appreciated, as I ended up going AI, since I cannot see the fun in playing after spending so much time and resources raisng such a large army with lots of expensive leaders(gems and cash) and lots of large summoned creatures, only to have them decimated by a bug, then watching the enemy move closer to your now unprotected border.

It's not a bug, you just got unlucky.
