Draw still is a double death.

Was due to XP in the groups.

It's fixed now, if it happens again, open a new thread.

I've been having this problem numerous times on various maps. It may work on one map at one time, then other times the transports will sit idle on the edge of the map.

It's pretty shitty, since having to pay 600 per attack, then the reinforcements, then to get an opponent only to have the reinforcements spend the game on the edge of the map, have to recall, and lose all that money is an incredibly unfulfilling gameplay experience.

Ah, I have been having the same problems with the monkey lord.

So that's where the bug lies. The list is not properly filtered

Ah... well, there WAS a GC in the Aeon reinforcements list and I was able to buy it. Nowhere did it say I shouldn't.

I mean that there is not supposed to be any experimental as reinforcements. It can't work. It's probably what is causing your issues (they can't be put on transports...)

Replays can't work until I massively edit some lobby part. That's my next job.

I assure you there was, and it did appear on the battlefield, but it remained at the edge of the map and "allied".

I just looked at the replay. Interestingly, there are no reinforcements on the replay (for either side), my commander doesn't get blown up and I flee the battlefield intact (around min 10). While I do prefer that version, its not what happened. I'm sure the GW record shows that I died, so there's a discrepancy right there. Also, the replay is out of sync almost from the start (the game wasn't).

I don't understand why you are talking of a GC. There is no experimental in the reinforcement list.

If so, it's probably the bug.

This took a while.

So, recall seems to work now, but a reinforcing GC still sits idle on the edge of the map staying on the support team instead of transferring to me. On top of that I thought I also had a harbringer coming in with the GC, but I never saw it. My opponents Percies arrived just fine and had no problem with my ACU Will take me at least a week to be able to test this again.

So, not fixed?

Not sure yet because some other bugs crept up (report to be filed by Anaryl), but at least recall seems to be working.

Hi,
i was the opponent.
I too tried to recall too and nothing happened.
We even build a quantum gate and tried it with that.
We decided to do a draw by diplomacy and hope both our avatars will not die.
But I guess we weren't that lucky.
Imho it would be nice if draw with diplomacy wouldn't end in deaths of avatars. Draw with diplomacy is the opposite of death.
I hope we can help a bit with debugging.

Have a nice day

Reinforcements sit idle, recall doesn't work and draw=death?

2013-08-03T14:56:14+02:00

Hi there,

Finally got a game going (the player base seems to be too small).

So far so good. I had 2 GC's lined up (nothing else to spend points on for days), so 'm confident this will go my way.

Built the beacon, GC shows up. And stays on the edge of the map. It's not hostile, but the teammate playing it is not doing anything with it. So, not believing in fair fights in a war, i figure i'd better recall. The button changes color, but I'm stuck, no recall.

My opponent feels sorry for me ans graciously accepts a draw, but now we both end up dead.

Recommendation:
1) Don't reset rank upon death until beta, this just sucks too much and does not promote active playtesting (I've mentioned this before, but now I also have a legitimate complaint).
2) In GC, a draw should be a draw, not a double-loss.
