Most likely not true. I watch my 8 mages with evo-5 powerup beat the snot out of enemy's antlered shamans and pd, coral guards standing against enemy iron warriors and not flinching, yet in the end I got 1 surviving coral guard who retreated back. I got everything on my favor yet still I lose. There's something definately wrong with this.

Should we roll the turn back? Its been done before. I want a vote please. I would like everyone to backup their trn file if we do so. I'm gonna save my turns from now on anyway. Hmm maybe we should organize a Vista friendly server to solve this problem in future games.

Hi Guys.

After reading the thread describing the bug I don't think a roll back is the correct course of action.

Whilst I sympathise with Iron Duke not being able to see what went wrong this paragraph makes it quite clear that Ulm won two perfectly fair victories and so to undo Ulm's victories would be unfair on him.

Okay, I agree. I would still like people to save their last turn. Its easy, you create a new folder, I call mine backup. and copy the files to it. I rename them so theres no possiblity of confusion.


PS. Whats with the delay? Wer'e waiting for calem, who I think went AI. The clock is past due to run the game.

The battle of Wickwood is now complete. The people rejoice. The frost of calem is dispeled. Now for Breakfast...
