Order Bug in 2.11

AhhhFresh · #1 April 7th, 2004, 05:48 PM

I started a new SP game and got the "order bug"... ie my home province went down from Order 3 to Order:0 on turn 2.

So I'm wondering whether it might not actually be considered a bug... my gut tells me it has something to do with dominion spread, so maybe it's an additional risk for taking a low dominion pretender?

Or maybe it just hasn't be addressed yet?

The reason for the bug hasn't been found yet. It doesn't affect dominion spread as far as I know.

Ah OK. Guess I should get off my lazy butt and try and help out through my own testing...

No I meant, that I feel that I usually see it when some temple checks fail in my home province...

But I'm not sure about that... I definately have seen it when dominion is still at 1 in my home province on turn 2, but I'm not sure whether it's the only time I've seen it.

Think I have mentioned this before ... sometimes provinces link up with the nearest number, not the neighbouring provinces on the map.

I have savegames where my dominions pops up 4 hops away in a sea province, with strong enemy dominion between. There's no way I could have got any dominion there - besides having a province with "neighbouring" number.

At the very start of the game this could mean the "undecided" dominion of unclaimed provinces "seeps" into your homeland, tilting the scales towards "0" before your pretender/temples/prophet effects kick in. (what was the order of events concerning dominion?)

Interesting, that you should mention sea provinces specifically... as I play primarily R'lyeh lately, and I see it all the time... and then just started a dozen or so Abysian test games on Aran with 1 AI (land based) opponent, and didn't see the order bug once.

Hmmm....
