The highly inaccurate Recent News losses

[CobyCopper]

Highly inaccurate, at a minimum. Double damage, I think.

Losses:

45,768 acres ($22,884,000 networth)
46,534,698 stoats ($186,138,792 networth)
635,381,977 grain ($12,707,640 networth)
$3,211,205,079 cash ($1,284,482 networth)

Total losses: $223,014,914 networth

Quick estimation reveals that I ACTUALLY lost approximately twice that amount. Prior to the losses being inflicted, by networth was approximately $980,000,000. At this point, it's dropped to approximately $571,153,748. That's a greater than $400,000,000 loss reflected as well in troops and cash lost (but not counted, and I would assume grain as well would factor in). That's double the amount lost sans the value of land loss.

So either an exploit was in use by Bewj (Juskabelly, if I'm not mistaken) or there's a rather serious readout bug that needs to be fixed.

There is a readout bug in the troop losses reported. I think that food and cash losses are reported accurately, though.

What is the ratio we're talking about here? From what I see, it's a 2:1, so either the readout itself or the damaged inflicted needs to be corrected. The answer to that (I believe) lies in what the mean damage per attack would be and should reflect the screen first seen. So if the attacker's battle report says 1,000,000 friendly stoats lost and 1,000,000 enemy stoats destroyed, then there should be 1,000,000 subtracted from both. In the stead, of course, of the attacker seeing the million lost on each side and then the defender or a third party perceiving a loss of two million stoats for each side.

[Shadow]

I think both attacker and defender see less losses reported than are actually taken - when attacking, i generally notice that I am losing a lot more than I should be, especially where desertions occur. I don't know the exact value, but 2:1 sounds roughly accurate, I would have guess 2.5:1 based on turbo recently.

I'm getting accused of exploiting? Lol.

I made an empire and played for like 4 days. At least spell my name right if your going to falsely accuse me of exploiting. It's Juskabally. With an A, not an E.

Ridiculous.

Every Man a King (#36) - that's my empire.
