In Progress Dominions 6: ProfessionalThroneSitters III: Late Age Edition

[Tanaka]

The raid was obvious, parrying it even more so, standard resolution and the knights gets surrounded and slaughtered with minimal losses

Meanwhile, the in-game resolution

In short, the replay I get and the results are amazingly different.

I truly gotta love Illwinter. I can't even fathom how a dozen knights (yes, for sure sacreds but the bless ain't a hellbless) can manage to kill 80 dogs with mage support. I've seen this happen maybe once before, but what the hell Illwinter

It's because they run the server on Linux I bet

If the knights get a kill with charge instantly then they only need to kill 27 more to hp rout you. Not sure why the mages didnt help or your tests went differently but those pyrene knights are indeed terrifying. If you killed more one of his he probably would have routed too. Unlucky

We did just have a patch come out. I noticed in a previous game when a patch came out the battle was different...

 

[coldcrow]

I also got the *true* replay. Maybe there is some issue with undying?

 

[Baron Tahn]

Nah its the patch I think? Apparently it can make it so the report and battle plays out differently. The report is always the 'one that counts'.

 

[Andnjord]

Nah, the server processes the battle using a seed for all the random number generation of a battle and sends that seed along with the battle report to your computer to generate the replay locally. But when the game gets patched it can mess up with the seed leading to seemingly different results between replay and report, especially if the battle is relatively close.

 

[coldcrow]

But it was *before* the patch.

 

[Andnjord]

But it was *before* the patch.

So you’re saying both you and Dayya had the battle processed and saw the replay without any patch in between? Then yeah, t’is a mystery.

 

[Malakal]

Like I said to our doge friend its a rare and old bug back from Dom 4 at least.

Has to do with aforementioned way replays are coded.

 

[Dayyālu]

Ah fuck, I did an oopsie and Pyrene won a major (and quite definitive) battle. There's no coming back from this.

I'll avoid the bother for a sub for my next week, so I'll gracefully bow out. I knew that losing Christopher was a sign of bad things to come.....

 

[Andnjord]

What turn are you all at?

First failed assassination so far... managed to get the cyclope smith but not a flimsy mage

Muscle Mage to the rescue.

A few players are away for the week so we postponed a bit.

Oh that makes sense, I thought it was just the host

 

[Tanaka]

Did Feminie go AI?

 

[Trash Player]

No, I am just slacking off due to the hiatus.

 

[Tanaka]

Looks like just Gath and Feminie left...

When the turn finally comes lol

 

[Trash Player]

My apologies, the game should be on the right track again.

 

[Andnjord]

It’s ok, not every god is destined to destroy whole armies with their mere thoughts, some are just made to quietly read books next to a fire in their castle while the blood slaves bring them cookies and milk.

 

[BING XI LAO]

Illwinter's fucking DOGSHIT PG balance/design strikes again.
Why the fuck does it have 9 encumbrance????

edit - oh, it's the enemy cap, but still...

 

[Popot]

Bunch of Abysians became belligerent after being stopped by a patrol officer, they were ordered to drop their knives but they didn't comply.

 

[EnragedEggplant]

Imagine being on five provinces and losing two of them in the same turn to an indie barbarian event and an indie knight attack event despite not taking any Misfortune scales. A purely hypothetical scenario, of course.
