Deadnature is correct. The battle replay bug is clearly documented, and it's happened to me in the past as well. What the outcome screen says is the actual outcome of the battle, regardless of the battle you actually get to watch. As has been said, it's unfortunate, but it happens. If the outcome screen says you lost the battle, then I'm afraid you did.

Deadnature: do you actually control the forts of the capital provinces? As in, have laid siege to them and they're yours? If so, then yes, the countdown starts. If you've only captured the province but haven't taken the fort, then that's insufficient. If you have the fort but it's under siege from another nation, then that still counts as you holding it. It's control of the fort that matters. You've fought honorably and you've fought extremely well, so I'm willing to accept your word in this matter.

Ok well I guess that explains it, Im sorry if you felt accused DN but its the first time Ive seen this bug and for it to happen several times just put me abit off.

Which provinces are the capitals you are using to claim impending victory, Deadnature?

Deadnature · #84 October 19th, 2011, 09:17 AM

Hey, its cool Bjaarn I totally understand if you feel frustrated at such a bug, I think I too suspicious when I first encountered it.

@Groundworm

Do I have to tell the capitals locations to all? Well, I guess you could talk amongst yourselves and figure it out anyways, so in the spirit of sportsmanship (and perhaps the rules

) The provinces are as follows:

Midgard (me) 121

Ctis 80

Ulm 84

Pythium 34

Marignon 28

Jomon 11

Thanks, Deadnature.

In the future, I'll be more clear about the victory conditions- that you must have possession of the fort, and that you must make public which provinces you hold to claim victory. My apologies for not being more forthcoming earlier.

Deadnature · #86 October 19th, 2011, 08:08 PM

Oh not at all, no apologies needed. Like I said, you guys could have talked among yourselves, compared notes and figured it out, so I might as well tell you all...its a non-issue.

Are we saying the game ends if I still control all capital-forts after receiving "turn-file 44" or "turn-file 45?"

Because if its "turn-file 44," then I guess the game is over, since as of this turn I still control all 6 of the previously mentioned capital-forts and none of them have breached walls. I can go either way so let me know what y'all think.

Groundworm · #88 October 26th, 2011, 10:43 AM

Well, I'd vote for turn 45 if given the choice. This is mostly selfish, because I'm enjoying this game and I'm making progress (though I don't know how much) against your walls in province 84 and (I think) against you overall. One more turn may make the difference in siegeing the fort, or it may not.

Deadnature · #89 October 26th, 2011, 01:14 PM

ok, one more turn it is then

It may seem that way because I've gone into fort-lockdown mode, and we're in the final few turns here, so I can afford to lose as much land as I want, as long as I hold those forts. If we were playing a domination game my strategy would be very different right now
