OS and different versions of Dominions on the host computer and the players has nothing to do with it. It may have had a role in other replay issues, but never in one that i was a party to.

In fact, in Alpaca, Llamabeast did an extensive examination to try to discover the cause of the replay bug as it affected him in that game, but to no avail. And he eliminated such things as different versions and os.

The problem lies elsewhere. But it used to be exceedingly rare. I have had long games go by and never had it occur even one time. To see it happen twice in a row, then see it on the manatee thread also, makes me worry a bit about the new patch having triggered something.

BTW, of course i use windows. windows xp to be precise.

Agartha the One that Knows all of course knows what causes this bug. If you surrender to Agartha the Glorious, Helena the Wise might give you a hint.

I've never seen the problem. All my battle replays have been accurate. I am also on windows xp.

Not that there is any good time for the bug to occur, but at least this war is really decided. All that remains to be determined is the final price of it.

But Reay and I have had many bettles and it is strange only the last 2 have been bugged. But again, it was only of several that occur every turn between us.

You also had a manifestation of this bug when one of your scouts in a province did not see a battle between Agartha and I, although the battle clearly occurred. I think there may well be a problem here.

Sadly, the masters of coin of Ermor have informed the council that we cannot support such a large war force without taking further provinces. Our war leaders had truly wanted to end the war with Agartha, but it seems it must continue, lest we go broke. But let the citizens of Agartha know that we will not treat them unjustly.

No battle replay bugs that turn! And the evil reay is dead(though immortals do not really die in their own dominion). But he is naked and has 3 afflictions, is cursed, and is likely one scared Pretender.

Oops forgot to do my turn. Poor Reay died whilst I was sleeping. Perhaps it was all just a replay bug and I am just dreaming!

Yes, seems that some evil trick of Ermor downed the server to stall Agartha the Great's march to victory.
