Boiling the Ocean (Started, needs alternate?)

Can't be, if you look at the mercenaries page. Only Ermor has a mercenary group currently.

But does the Hall of Fame show Arco having 8 commanders to everyone else? Or is what I think (the game's bugging for me a bit) happening?

[Nix]

Nope, I see it too. Arco's got a mighty tall army size in the score graphs too.

Now that you mentioned it, yeah. It was twice as high on turn 1 as the next best guy. Ermor got close thanks to the mercenary group of 20 + 1 commander... Hmm. Actually, it's possible he got the flagellant (or the militia) event on first turn which would've effectively doubled the amount of people he had, so that is explainable. If it was excessively over being double the second guy, it'd be suspicious.

The only unexplainable thing in my view is the 8 commanders in Hall of Fame. I'm really hoping it's a bug (which it probably is), and different people's commanders are being shown there as Arcoscephale's. Although Tien Chi's god shows as Tien Chi's hero, and none of the names that show up on the Hall of Fame were in the list of new prophets...

Seriously, this is weird.

EDIT: I was just told on IRC that the game does bug sometimes on this point and gives Arco credit for commanders he really doesn't have, so it apparently was what I really hoped it was. A bug. That's good. Although, after thinking about it, the thing with his army size can't be about an event. Events don't happen on turn 1. Could it be a bug related to the Hall of Fame bug? Since otherwise he started with like 20-30 troops more that shouldn't have been there, and that doesn't sound very feasible.

Yet Another Edit: I think the Army Size graph is screwed up. Caelum gets 15 + 15 and is halfway to Arco's troop amount, but somehow Mictlan who starts with 15 + 20 is actually even below Caelum. I think it shouldn't be trusted for now, just like we shouldn't trust the Hall of Fame for now, from the looks of it.

Unless somehow Caelum and Arco are x1111111771ng out of the roof, which I'm sort of doubting. ;p

Um, I'm arco! and I can't do my next turn for some reason, I put it in the directory, still thinks it's turn one.

Nevermind about that I got my turn working! and I figured out what all those heroes are too, most of them, except one which is one of my heroes, are well, well their pretender gods, untouched, no bonuses to magic, their just liches, mother of serpents, other stuff too, I don't have any of them, they must have appeared there because two out of what, 19! people attacked independence in the first turn and gained a province, while when your facing AIs they always attack of the first turn and such making lots of low level, independent heros and some of their own heroes.

Just ignore them, they'll go away as soon as we get some real heroes out there!
