I posted this in the ingame forum too, but just in case one of you here can help me?

I just went to war for the first time. I was the victor, with 0 reported casualties yet my army is not listed as returning and the amount of soldiers have been deducted from my population.

Have I just read my report wrong and in fact won the battle while managing to have all my soldiers killed?!

If not, is this a bug?

Below is my report:

Attack Result Victory

Peasant(s) : 0/0
Foot Soldier(s) : 0/10
Pikeman : 0/8
Elite : 0/0
Archer(s) : 0/0
Crossbowmen : 0/10
Light Cavalry : 0/4
Heavy Cavalry : 0/8
Knight(s) : 0/1
You took: 16 acres and 460 GC in the attack

yep you won. according to that, none of your troops died. you have to go to the menu and go to war room then returning troops to see when they're coming back.
 
though the server says it is back, i still cannot get in - i hope this is not isolated as i don't want to get back to my hiatus kd with nothing left but a sole archer...

Sorry, I wasn't being clear enough in my post.

They are not coming back –*they have been wiped from my total number of troops as if they never existed. They are not listed as coming back in the war room.
 
Carnivor, login problems should be fixed - as should server stability (some might say AT LAST :))

This was, unfortunately one of the outstanding bugs and has been fixed now.. sorry I didn't get to it sooner - needless to say, you can blame it on my coding muppetry.

Any chance we will see images soon? Such as a grid of buildings looking like houses, stables, castles, ect?

Not very soon, no, but I will work on it when I get the other bugs kicked in to touch.

My current work list is:
1) Transfer Domain to new faster host, to stop timeout problems!!
2) Continue fixing bugs.
3) Implement "nasty prayers" on live servers.
4) Implement Docks/Navies/Ship Yards.
5) Implement Cross world (or rather, continent) raiding (as in using the ships to transport troops to attack other continents.
6) Add in more functionality to the system.
 
intresting one this,

A break down of your casualties is as follows:
Peasants 54.5

howd i loose half a peasant? and where is the other half lol :D :D
 
Another oddity for you here, nothing you can really do about it tho,

i was on the overview, i noticed the amount of lumber was underlined, i thought you'd made a new hyperlink, so i clicked it, and nearlly dialled the amount of lumber i have, LOL,

as i say not alot you can do to stop this, thought it was funny tho
 
Heh - yeah - I noticed that on a few numbers - no way to stop it as far as I know?!
 
Cannot Login Kingdom Net New Forum

I signed up for an account and never got the e-mail confirming my registration and I can't login at all!

Anyhow, it is too easy to accidentally buy something at the market using an iphone.I've done it twice now just scrolling through the list. Maybe there should be a confirmation page like with everything else.

Also had attacking issues...lost all of my attack armies yesterday and got an error message today:

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a000d'

Type mismatch: 'SQLEncoder'

/W3/WarRoom-Attack.asp, line 858

Thanks!

It does make it a bit harder, but I thnk it increases the importance of working with alliances.. and defending your realm properly!
 
hey I figured out that the stuff in the email I sent you wasn't a bug... but now all my troops are gone... I think you should do away with losing troops as your tax rate goes up. it's too hard to earn money because I used to send all my peasants out and set tax to 100% until they got back. but now I'll lose spies and priests and troops... there's just no way to get money and have troops. it's just one or the other now

It does take a bit more balancing now, I agree, but I think it makes the game a bit fairer.

You might also want to try different types of troops, rather than all one type (not saying you were, because I've not had a look) - it brings the other troops into line a bit more, so everyone doesn't just stack archers and knights!

aah..! I have no money and if I set my tax above 20%, my troops leave. so basically now either I have to send the troops out and actually hope that they die or I could set my tax higher and my preists and spies will leave.
please do away with this Paul! I'm not guna stop until it's gone (and I am very annoying, obviously.)

Frankly, I have never used that 100% tax glitch. The increased GC flow might increase your networth really fast but it is not a real measure of how strong your kingdom really is. You might get a real high NW but you would still get raped by smaller marauding kingdoms if NW is not backed up by soldiers. Networth gained from armed forces I think is a more real representation of you true networth. And there is no such thing as 100% tax in the old days or today. Nobody works for free.:D
 
As has been said, the taxes thing is important, if you were taxed "through the nose" for doing your work, would you continue to work? Wouldn't you go somewhere else where the wages are better (i.e. you made more money from your work)?

Soldiers don't like to be messed around, it's better than me adding in "civil war" and having your own soldiers turn rebellious.. ;)
 
yeah but... but... what if they were nice troops like you and didnt care what they got paid :) now since I said that will you take it off? :(

why do preists get paid? and why would preists get mad if you don't pay them? doesn't seem very godlike to me!

also, there I think you should put the ability to moderate and edit posts on the alliance forums under a privelage for people to have.

and, you should have the ability to make more ranks in your alliance. 5isnt enough for the different roles we need.

game still rules though!

Answers in order:

No.
They're very mercenary priests.
I'm looking at adding that now, but it's a slow process.
I'll add that to the list - I'm surprised that you've used all five effectivly!
Cheers very much!
