Splinter empire surrenders....to 2 empires!
 

I just looked at one of my games. A splinter empire (you know, one of those empires named after which ever system the planet is in when it rebels) surrendered to 2 different empires at once. One of them was the empire the parent empire was at war with, so I assumed he used intelligence to make the splinter break off. The other though is my enemy. Since a Splinter empire is only 1 planet (I assume) how can they surrender to 2 other empires at once and how do they share, do they get half the planet each. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

lol
who did it go to?
interesting, if a larger empire surenders to 2 diferent empires does the empire get split? or does it just all go to one, and which one?

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Winner takes all. It is either random or the empire with the lowest player number.

We had such an incident in RTH1 where a large empire surrendered to me and another player at the same turn. I got nothing http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

I can see how this could happen if two empires send 'demand surrender' Messages in the same turn. This is obviously caused by a lack of 'consistentcy checks' in the game, just like the trade exploits that had to be fixed where you could trade the same stuff to multiple AIs and cheat them. I would expect that the first empire to get a surrender gets everything, and any further empires get nothing. It's probably a simple tweak for MM to do if someone pointed it out to him. Sounds like a fair number of goofs like this are building up. Maybe we can get 'one more' patch after all. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

goes to the lowest player number. i have seen it done with multiple players demanding the surrender of an AI, and with PPPs. though the PPPs have some chance of failure, so they are not a good example.

Still not a good enough reason for aaron to work on a 1.92 update Version patch

Well, if I was the player with the "higher number", I might not think it was unimportant... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif
