Fallacy - Middle Era (Started!)

Dr P took them over last turn. But it IS hard to keep track of who is playing caelum.

Hmm strange the battle report said I lost 11 mages out of 13, but then I saw at least 5 or 6 flee from the battle with Pythium. I can't see them on the strategic map.

Why is there a difference between the actual result and the battle movie? Or am I missing something Xietor?

[Xietor]

Sometimes what you watch is just wrong. rarely, i have watched my forces win a clear victory on the replay, but have actually suffered a terrible defeat. And that is a bug that is rare, but unsolved from Dom II days. To be precise, I observed it in alpaca and epic heroes I, and it was much worse. Those games were both on Llamaserver. But the host has nothing to do with it.

Those battles were both much much worse than losing retreating mages. In both of those cases, whole victorious armies were missing and the province was lost. As well as many mages dead etc. And yet both players replay showed the opposite thing happening on their replay.

Here my replay shows some mages escaping as well. My mages are casting soul slay and it is possible, since your mages are large size, maybe 1 got targeted. But to be honest I am not sure.

I only recovered 2 items, which is certainly not what would be expected had you lost 9 mages, given the number of commanders i had there with full slots open.

But I am not sure that is what occurred here, hoewever. There was not a whole fictional battle that was on the replay, but only some mages that were retreating that looked to have escaped, but the message shows as died in battle.

Not that I am making light of losing mages and items, which is a terrible blow. I am just saying I am not sure your issue is related to the battle replay bug.

What Xietor means is that the Gods of Dominions are displeased with you Reay, and have decided to send you false reports of battles.

Saw this post recently in the manatee thread. And that is from llamaserver. Again, not sure if the retreating mage issue is related or not, but this bug used to be exceedingly rare.

If it is becoming more common, then maybe the recent patch may have to be looked at:

Someone has got a scout in West Midden (#61), maybe?
If yes, could you tell me what did you see in battle replay?
My battle replay shows clear win of my Jarl against 3 Rudras and one Siddha of Kailasa, but battle report and acctual after-battle situation shows a win of Kailasan forces.
Something is bugged here.
Yandav, what shows your battle replay?



No scouting of the province but an adjacent scout sees it changing control to Kailasa.

I think you're victim of the known bug that once in a while the battle replay doesn't match what happened.

[Reay]

Yeah, I think I have had it happen earlier in the game too. Not sure if it was with the most recent patch.

Should I post something on the bug thread?

[Xietor]

up to you. it is a known bug i think. But it can't hurt to post it.
