SLIC-MP-PBEM Question 8-15-04

[Grandpa Troll]

Ok..Like I stated I am gonna start asking questions here because I have played CTP almost every single day for 6 years now (since game came out..with very few exceptions..and have never ever got that muich..

I have in a demand yes

BUT never when walking up

1 turn a diplomatic "exchange maps" then next turn here is 2000 gold

Never ever

Ok..since YOU say you have its now official then that it happens..

ok...1800 days played (thats saying 50 weeks a year times 6 years time 6 days a week)

Ok the "odds" are for me at least 1 in 1800 days....

NOW thats just days..say 1800 days times say an average of 6 turns a day (including the marathon games of playing 10+ hours when i was injured and an average of a turn every 2-3 minutes say 200 turns in a day per game..but just estimating here) ok so I am now looking at almost 11000 turns

1 turn in 11000 this happened...


still odd to me my friend

ok..so you have seen this instance I described on a normal? semi-normal or rarity happeneing?

Not demanding not over time..but when you first meet early in game?

Ok...

Just "odd" to me is all

The graphics and the game engine in your match are badly out of sync. The image below is part of a screenshot I made when I opened turn 168 of the game (you sent that one to me some time ago) in cheat mode. As you can see, the game engine knows the city is on the island, but the graphics engine believes it is in the ocean, thus drawing the sprite of an undersea city.

[Grandpa Troll]

Ok..I buy that, but is it because me and Blackgryffin are using different versions?

Thanks for the input

I just tried to find an explanation for the graphics error, but I don't know the reason for the game running out of sync. Sorry.

[Grandpa Troll]

thanks

[Grandpa Troll]

Ok..here is an odd one as well:

Pink01 is actually just been over run

#1-shows blue but is actually reoccupied by pink
#2-that 1 machine gunner is actually a 5 stack of 4 musketeers and 1 machine gunner PLUS it is not to the south but one tile NORTH of the city.

#3-The city is there it is also filled with troops which is understandable but not showing is the troops stacked amazingly around it..

VERY STRANGE

Also look at the message, not an altered game like ONE FRE TECH but get these frickin messages..

Ok..I am gonna post one more

[Grandpa Troll]

I just noticed the date is 1420 when attacked and my turn is 1425..is that a normal spacing 5 years..I thought it was less..oh well..

oddities just kinda clear my head and get an explanation is all

[Grandpa Troll]

and last but not least, as stated earlier, the city has a full contingent of troops..they were no where to be found, all of the sudeen the pick pink01 to attack when other bigger cities were available..no troops around..~POOF~ they appeared

strange is all

[EPW]

Your games screwed up.


I am master of the obvious

[Grandpa Troll]

yes..and I have another since you are so eloquently putting it:

In game the one above:

no units were there last turn now they have 9 stacks all over..u cannot see them but when you try to move you mysteriously runinto them..

PLUS in many case a stacks of 2 is seen but when you attack it is a 9 stack

I have seen more mickey mouse $h!t in PBEM than I have seen in MP...

Now..I am not accusing but there has to be an explanation?

I trust most here..but when oddities amazingly appear..I request an answer..

Now, I am not callling anyone a cheat. I am above and beyond that


What I do ask is the community to expalin what is happening and why?

If a person knows what is the casue then they must know the why? perhaps even how to clear it up?

Ok...please tell me what is happening

Thanks

Ok..here is another..and this is the third time in this game in last three turns it has happened..not before in the previous 132 turns...of this game..

notice my two Calvary and in the dark area is a lawyer and a musketeer from Pink)

This as mentioned is the third time i could not see the units..I had to actually go to them to see them..

another thing that is odd..my city isin one tile and I was parked in tile beside that tile and guess what in the game both are in the tile between my city..i didnt think a unit like a musketeer could go between a unit of mine and my city..maybe I am wrong..anyway couldnt see them..until i moved my Calvary..

odd to me at least..

[EPW]

Is that our game?
