Weird Affliction

Lets make sure we are all talking about the same thing. When I think of two armies "missing" each other, I think of two armies in adjacent provinces, both attempting to move into each others province on the same turn. A "miss" would then be that no battle occurs and both armies exchange control of their respective provinces.

If this is the same thing that you are all talking about then: I've never seen two armies "miss" each other in all my years of dominions playing. So much so that I am sure that it is not possible, regardless of the manual or anecdotal evidence to the contrary.

In a 'miss', two battles would occur, not zero. Both armies would need to fight the PD and any armies summoned, recruited, or moving into the territories on that turn.

But yeah, I've never seen it happen either (In all my entire 2 weeks of playing ).

TirAsleen: My pretender wasn't an SC. If he'd been there with the army, we'd have won and he'd have saved me a lot of casualties. I just didn't realise that a handful of chaff units could totally pin a 200-odd unit attack group.

Seems people aren't 100% certain what's going on here, but I know I'm not going to be flying in a commander to help with any battles in the future - I'll take an extra turn and put them with the army.

I've seen it happen occassionally, but it's quite rare.

Also, I think sieges, and especially moving forces to break siege, moving sieging force away from the castle or reinforcements to the castled province and/or breaking siege might cause weird effects. The order of movement is affected by ownership of the provinces in question, and the province under siege isn't owned by the besieger but the besieged...
