What? Did we watch the same battle? Im talking about province 34. You had no troops left and were routed. My army was never routed and I had ~40-50 troops left. And yes the outcome screen says I lost but the battle clearly shows the opposite. Strange how this bug only favors you..

Bjaarn, the battle replay bug is well known. The game composes the battle videos on your computer, not the server. This can lead to situations where the replay shows a completely different outcome from what actually happened. It sucks, but theres really nothing that can be done about it.

Yes, province 34. It's a known bug, look it up. If you want to believe the combat screen instead, that's fine but everyone else sees the fort as being owned by Midgard, so the result is very clear.

This bug doesn't "favor" me at all, it just misrepresents what really happened.

I resent your implication and would like to repeat that I'm willing to submit any and all of my turn files to a third party if I'm being accused of something.

I've had this bug happen to me before too (and I was also disappointed), I tried to politely explain it to you. Then you made your insinuations...

Edit: removed a rude comment

Deadnature is correct. The battle replay bug is clearly documented, and it's happened to me in the past as well. What the outcome screen says is the actual outcome of the battle, regardless of the battle you actually get to watch. As has been said, it's unfortunate, but it happens. If the outcome screen says you lost the battle, then I'm afraid you did.

Deadnature: do you actually control the forts of the capital provinces? As in, have laid siege to them and they're yours? If so, then yes, the countdown starts. If you've only captured the province but haven't taken the fort, then that's insufficient. If you have the fort but it's under siege from another nation, then that still counts as you holding it. It's control of the fort that matters. You've fought honorably and you've fought extremely well, so I'm willing to accept your word in this matter.

Which provinces are the capitals you are using to claim impending victory, Deadnature?
