Your game is probably down due to the upgrade. It will be up again soon, I'm guessing.

The server is now at 2.12

The number of minutes to the next turn is on the welcome page for all the games where you haven't taken your turn.

Well I have encountered an interesting bug.

For the Last two turns, one of the many troop summons I am doing shows up as a commander, with VL magic paths (3D 3B)... 1st was a storm demon, then an iron dragon:

Then I summon an arch devil. not only does Furcas answer the call, but I get a 2nd Arch-Devil with stats and picture identical to Furcas, named Gravesoul:

Mystified, I equip Furcas, and then go check out Gravesoul only to discover that he has "inherited" the exact same equipment, including two artifacts.

www.soapyfrog.net/dom2/gravesoul.jpg

Both devils have identical equipment, no matter what I put on them. They can be individually selected and moved, although the turn has not hosted yet so I do not know what this will do to the game. They can individually have troops assigned to them without problem.

This seems like a very strange bug! Obviously this is a long running game that was started under v2.12, perhaps that is contributing to these VL-pathed commanders I am getting for free?

Have we hit the unit limit perhaps?

Interesting. The same thing happened to the queens of water or what ever they are called. I thought there was only three of them, but I received a fourth one. I got one extra when I summoned the third one...
Both with VL paths, and they seem to share the same orders and equipment...

I think it is time to just let this particular game get some rest, and declare it to be a shared victory for the only alliance left in the game. There is nobody left to oppose it anyway.

Ok, now it is my turn to complain about radically different replay/results.

Again in Newbies_Unite. Server and Client both on 2.14.

I assaulted a castle defended by numerous Vampire Lords and air queen with some mechanical men. I had a large body of wights, mechanical men, devils, an arch devil, king of elemental earth, a superb wraith lord.

IN THE REPLAY:
The defending vampires battle summoned a huge horde of undead and after a long and tortuous fight my force eventuall one through to the casters and slaughtered them, although my wraith lord died in the final stages.

IN THE ACTUAL GAME:
I lost the battle, losing 80% of my force, killing only 10 mechanical men. My wraith lord actually survived and retreated, but my arch devil died.

In short COMPLETELY different results. I have seen others recently posting of similar experiences, and I think I can now confirm them... something is borked!

Now, mind you, this game is already experiencing some interesting bugs, so maybe it is related somehow?
