Newbie Game

theJeff, is the province you attacked now at zero dominion? If so, it makes some sense; the dominion has to be your both turns I think. I agree that it sucks.

Options :
1, we could always restart... not what i hope for, but what the hey.
2, we could each spend 1 or 2 turns where we bought nothing but mages, spreading the hurt out a little. Maybe whoever has the smallest income in game could attack and expand a little evening things out. Not sure how fair this is to everyone.
3, we assume that it was your fault and play on as usuall =) (even though i'm sure its the bug.)

Theorically, the province has to be in friendly Dominion when the battle occurs, and that's all: Cainehill had an Immortal Pretender survive a battle in friendly Dominion, though the province switched to neutral Dominion on the next turn; I also think Immortals go back home right after they are killed, and not at the beginning of the next turn.

Oh, and thejeff did write the province was in friendly Dominion both before and after the battle (he wrote that in the Bug thread).

I'm game for whatever.

Yeah, it's still at +1 dominion. It was positive during the battle too, just for extra confirmation. Dominion bonuses to hp and strength.

This never happens in SP of course.

If people were adamantly opposed I'd be willing to play on, and get trashed much earlier than otherwise I'm sure, but I'd much rather restart.

I'm not adverse to starting over, though I am doing awfully well. I'd never support screwing someone over through no fault of their own.
