Well, that's between you and your friend. Like I said, I checked out the turn I submitted, and the army was indeed ordered to move. And there wasn't any battle in that province, so that's not the reason why it didn't move.

I'm not suggesting a rollback, or even complaining (much), but I'd like to know if there's some known issue causing this, so that I can avoid it in the future.

I'm ok with switching to 48 hours, btw, and to be honest, I was thinking of suggesting this myself. I also think I might need an extension this coming weekend, but I'll come back to that in a few days.

Ermor: Those are obviously forged documents from the Master's of deceit.

I'm going to go ahead and switch to 48 hours now!

Ermor. An alternative to the 48 hour switch would be for you to surrender 2/3 of your provinces now to make administration easier.

Cheers!

Flop, my comment was being typed whilst yours was posted, and I didn't get to read it before posting mine. Note yours posted at 3:26 and mine at 3:29. I wasn't having a dig at you, but yes, the left click is a common fault.

Thus I posted another query, was there a battle in the province that the troops were in?

My friend had complained that troops didn't move but there was a battle in their province which suggested to me the opposition came directly from the province in which he was trying to move.

I generally don't like converging armies, because not too infrequently only one moves. I'd thought it was because of interfering orders (e.g. I have two armies moving into a province, he has one counterattacking, counterattacker moves first and I have two fights, one with the army that moved and one with the one that got firsted). But I'd never carefully analyzed it and maybe it's a bug.

Our propaganda ministry didn't starting using Photoshop until the middle-age, so I assure you it's legitimate.

Thanks for the time bump

Fair enough, I hadn't noticedd the time stamps. Anyway, I think it's just a glitch. I think I'll just try to avoid coordinated attacks in the future, unless it's absolutely necessary.

As Curtadams points out, there are other good reasons for doing that, too, so I should probably be avoiding them anyway.

Sorry everyone. Turn 35 is waiting up on me, but unfortunately, I won't get a chance to take it until later this evening.
