Capture

Capture now only takes leaders every third or ffourth attack. Is this an intentional change or a problem with the new attack system?

Iv found it sometimes does that when attacking specific people.

Yeah I was wondering the same thing. I'd say it was an unnecessary change if it was intentionally done, as capture wasn't really overpowered.

I use capture and haven't had any issues. Like Oblit said, maybe some people it takes more and others you can get on the first try.

It has nothing to do with specific people, the code isn't built with "if Shadow" statements in it. You're just seeing patterns where there are none. More likely it depends on settings within the account.

im thinking like with diff races

It is an unintentional change

Unintentional change? Can't we say bug anymore?

Does this happen in Regular or Turbo? Moreover, how long has this been happening?

Shadow · February 08, 2009, 09:23:28 PM

As far as I can tell it's both servers, and it has been happening since Shael changed the attack system. So it's probably something overlooked there. If you want some more data on it I can do some tests for you.

Is it possible that when using the condensed attack system, putting it on capture only sets 25% of your army to capture even though only one group is displayed? I've noticed that drive takes less land than before as well, could it be that the setting is only affecting one quartered group even though only one group is listed?

I'll have to look at the code a bit later. I've got DBMS implementation homework to do now... Sorry folks.
