2007-01-24 |  | My Thors got sick :S |  |
It seems ship disease is spreading.... last week it only was Tyrs that got sick... but now Thor start dying as well.... How do I explain this to the parents of the fighters in my Thors?
In my opinion there is no good reason why my Thors died..... even without using the Battle sim, which admins/guides will say you shouldn`t, I can think of a reason why the Thors died....
but as Maraudian and quaint stated last week, they know what happened to teh Tyrs (in battles by DrunkenMasters and Brumen), so maybe you can explain what happened to my Thors?

HoneyBucket{HH}
99+ day(s) ago | maybe your thors were feeling extra ballsy any decided to attack the hercs... it`s hard to say mate but it`s not impossible for them to have died in this situation without a bug happening. |
Gilead
99+ day(s) ago | HoneyBucket{HH}: have you even looked at the battle? Its not like my Thors were the opposing stacks of the Nirvs or Hercs.... If my Thors would have been in my top stacks, then, Yes ofcourse, the Hercs or Nirvs would have killed them... but as the Thors were flanking, they should not have been damaged....
or if it is right that my Thors got killed, then why didn`t my pikes die???? |
HoneyBucket{HH}
99+ day(s) ago | Loof as you pointed out that`s how "flanking" "normally" works... some things in battle happen extremely often as in almost all the time and then act different sometimes... it`s a part of randomness... which could cause "bug" like affects as they will produce results that are different once in a while. |
HoneyBucket{HH}
99+ day(s) ago | This is not a bug... has anyone ever seen Nirv or Herc kill a few Thor? if not you have fought very little it would seem. |

as you can see more or less all my ships save the pyth who just got lucky got no retal, and therefore dont die, those thors getting killed (as the tyrs in drunkens and brumens threads) are just an odd bug imo |
BrumenCMDC
99+ day(s) ago | I can see only 3 explanations (or combinations thereof) for this sudden and apparently contagious disease (that seems to affect only virals, lol):
1. This is a bug. If so, it should be looked into and possibly fixed.
2. Ship specials were changed without us players being aware of it. If so, it should be explained and motivated.
3. Battle rules were changedwithout us players being aware of it. If so, it should be explained and motivated. |

99+ day(s) ago | Maraudian: true that it wouldn`t have won me the battle (althoug the spammer was lucky, if he does this 10 times he will lose at least 6-7 times :P)
it did however cause me to lose 2 cols instead of 1.... (I think) because of the lost Thors my lost PR went from 48.7% to just above 50%... (and 50% is the border, right?)
fleak2: I am still trying to get your statement straight.... but it must be the stelogic that doesn`t go well with my brain :P |

99+ day(s) ago | Maybe we should ask Stephen, so he could say "Hmmm, I`ll have to think about that." Then he would go and remove the attack feature from the game because people were abusing it. |
fleak2
99+ day(s) ago | well let me see if i am right
there is some thing in the battle where ur ships will still get countered even if they are not in that stack as long as there is flanking
another thing is that when flanking you can still lose ships except for... fodders
i dont know why it is this case but flanking with ships with the " no retaliation " function does not really confirm the safety of ur ships.
cos the way no retal works is that the thors fire and only 80 ships would be able to be stopped by that function.
after that there is still a retal back
which is why there are sometimes when attacking, the battle report would say: XXX`s nirvana attacked YYY`s v.borelley
40 v.borelleys are killed
5 nirvanas are lost in the attack
that should be the case of the flanking ur p.thors did |
Maraudian
99+ day(s) ago | stelogic , its impossible to accurately calculate , just rough estimate and it takes a long time to do that unless you sim it up , but well something did destroy them in combat
but anyhows , even if those 80 p thor wernt destroyed the atack would have been a win on his side |
Maraudian
99+ day(s) ago | hmm good point ^_^ |
