'error in the code that produces a directly unintended result'
That's a good definition.

And it excludes something like this, an unforseen consequence of game rules that were *correctly* coded.Comment

RCP is a floor wax!
No, it's a dessert topping!
It's a floor wax I tell ya!
No way, it's a desset topping!
Relax, RCP is both a floor wax AND a dessert topping...

Since we're all nicely nitpicking, here are my 2 euro cents: RCP is not a bug, it's an exploit of the city rank corruption bug. I don't think this city rank problem is a design flaw and was intended to work this way. A while ago (about 6 months) the source code of the corruption function was posted. It was quite complicated, from what I could see, and made me believe, that the city rank corruption issue is caused by wrong implemention of the corruption formula, hence a programming fault, also called bug.Comment

I hate to say it, but as far as this thread goes, Kuciwalker does indeed pwn.Why can't you be a non-conformist just like everybody else?

Sir Ralph is entirely correct. City ranking became subject to a bug / unintended design consequence; RCP was the strategy / exploit developed in response. It is hard to distinguish the interplay between the above four 'labels'.Originally posted by Sir Ralph

To be honest, I've been ambivalent about how serious a problem RCP has ever been... terrain issues often trump corruption, so in effect RCP becomes a valued tool for more advance players, but not a gamebreaker. I liked it as a strategic option, actually, just as much as I like the current solution (which has the deleterious effect, IMHO, of making FP placement boring... in other words, I don't like it).
I pwn you all.
The greatest delight for man is to inflict defeat on his enemies, to drive them before him, to see those dear to them with their faces bathed in tears, to bestride their horses, to crush in his arms their daughters and wives.
