Glad folks have their armies back so we can fight fair and square again.


Not quite yet Rill, he released what was left of my troops there. However the number of my troops were falling while they were stuck. I got no kills but I lost a majority of my troops so I'm still not happy. We have enough enemies without losing troops to bugs.

I assume you've filed a new petition regarding the number of troops you thought should be in your army?

We did throw fliers out of the siege camp offering amnesty for any troops that wanted to make individual peace, so that could be another explanation.

The fliers have also solved the Great Toilet Paper Shortage at various latrines involvedin the siege. An army may march on its stomach, but it definately sits on its butt!
There's worse blokes than me!!

It feels like your algorithm is alive and seriously kicking.

Best of luck in deciphering  that odd bug.

Best,

Tath

That kind of thing happens in complicated systems that need to respond to lots of external input. Sometimes a thread is stuck. It may be a race condition or a deadlock because of a missed event in another thread. It is a true hell to debug these things.

I watched the bug develop and one thing I noticed is that 2-3 armies impacted on the square at the same time.  I imagine that there is coding that is supposed to deal with this, but maybe it is not quite robust enough?  Or doesn't have enough "space" in the code for the number of 0s of the troops involved?
