The 6th Global

[PyroStock]

There were 5 global spells already in place. The AI casted 2 new globals and now there are 6. Is this a new feature or a bug? I'm not using any mods.

The Ringo of Globals, the veritable fifth turtle, Zeppo Marx.

Never heard of it before. Sounds strange.

He meant "the Pete Best" of Globals. Maybe?

In a less obscure reference, the third wheel. He's saying it doesn't belong there.

The 2 new globals were Stellar Focus and Riches from Beneathe so given their global positions they seem to be sharing the same global slot of the one they replaced.

The screen shot is attached in the first post of this thread. I could attach the save file later.

Weird.

I really wish you could mod how many globals spots are available though... *hint hint*

[Folket]

Very intresting... I wonder if I can find a way to reproduce this, or even exploit it.

I remembered once when me and a friend tryed to reproduce bugs in starcraft and I got a diffrent bug. He refused to believe me. I will not do the same you.

[Cor2]

Opps did not notice the attachment. that is soo cool.

[Zaramis]

I just had 6 globals in a game, too. Marignon vs Machaka, 1 vs 1.. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif I can attach a screenshot, but this guy already did, soo

[Meglobob]

Is this a bug of 3.10 or what? A very good bug if it is.

[Endoperez]

Whoa! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/eek.gif That's new!

More screenshots are definitely welcome, but I'd consider this a minor bug compared to other game issues which are marked as RED within the bug thread.

That AI opponent has two nasty global spells active: Kindly Ones and Wraith of God

This could have have huge consequences in the larger MP games...

Could someone confirm if the global limit is just complete busted in 3.10?

Hey, you know it's not http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

And I went for a test 2 hours ago casting all six globals in the screenshot (Focus & Riches last) and "Your global enchantment is dispelled blah blah...".

We need to find a stable way to reproduce the error http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

haha, dream it http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

I think the rare chance of a 6th global is a new fun twist.

[archaeolept]

i think one of the globals has been dispelled or ended in some way, but remains on the list. i've seen that happen before.
globals are a very mysterious bunch. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[Zylithan]

sounds like two were cast at the same time, right?

could the computer logic be:

if global cast..
see if 5 already
if so, remove one
add new global(s)

and somehow both globals go into the list, but only remove one?

[NTJedi]

I'm in a 3.10 game at this moment... 5 globals were active and at the start of the next turn 3 new globals were casted successfully. The end result was 5 active globals.
I'm not sure what combination provides 6 globals, but I'm sure some of the hardcore gamers are hunting for the secret combination.
