This isn't a bug, but this seems to be the best place to put it, Can we have a seperate forum for this? Seems like a good idea.

Delmar Wynn:
The timer should be set at 1 hour to wait for challenge then it clears the status of the battle.

One other question: is the timer impacted by me navigating away from the page(to my "Posts" tab, for instance)?

EDIT: Nevermind.

It keeps telling me to log in...but I already have.

How do numbers actually work for the strength of your unit? I had 25 of one sort against another sort (perfect match for me to win though the other one was slightly stronger) and it first didn't do anything and then after some bites out of my units it died.

so yeah how much of one troop matches up to another?

alright my game is stuck i cant do anything it just says your chalenger is choosing to fight you but his army has been changing and stuff but i cant get out of it.

Okay, one thing I want:

Add something to make sure someone top10 won't attack a person 100 times weaker. I just lost all my armies because *cough cough* number 2 has attacked me. Guess what, I lost. And he somehow got 50k for an effortless win.

Does this mean we can just attack weaker enemies and then force them either to lose all armies, or get a shameful badge.

but if you had won you would have gotten the spartan badge:against all odds.
besides if i could beat a 2 so can you...though i was 8th at the time...

Someone challenged me i accepted then all of a sudden the game crashed I lost the battle even though I had more and better men the the other guy and I still had more money than him...

One bug I'm having with it is the fact that whenever I enter a battle,when I'm trying to issue orders,the character icons are unable to move. My cursor turns into the dreaded unable to move cursor.

EDIT: This also happens on the Hire Troops page, so it renders my game unplayable

Dunno if it's just my Internet, but I just got challenged by someone, the fight all seemed to work, I got a notification saying the battle had been completed, but then nothing seems to have happened, I appear to have neither won nor lost, and on my profile it doesn't say I've had a battle.

Markness:
I'm a bit sketchy on how to issue a challenge. Clicking attack just seems to bring you to their army screen.

It is possible that they have already entered combat. If so you are taken to their profile page.

What browser are you using?

Can you send me a PM with the link to the specific battle you are talking about. We should have some checks in place to make sure this doesn't happen.

Are you still having this problem?

Sometimes the unit text goes outside of the box so I can't see the number of units in a squad.

Not really a bug persay but definately an annoying situation...

I was challenged by someone and they never selected orders for their troops, so I'm sitting at the screen waiting for them to select orders for their troops. I can't retreat and I can't challenge anyone else. So I'm at the mercy of this other person for an hour.

A possible remedy for this problem would be giving the person the option of accepting or retreating from a challenge before the attacker selects orders for his troops. Perhaps once the defender agree's to the fight, both the attacker and defender can select orders for their troops at this same time.

Just a thought to alleviate this annoying circumstance.

Edit: It appears he finally backed out, but my problem and remedy still stand as ways to improve the system.

I've noticed this also, mainly with one of the robot units, but it only does this on certain screens. Wraps like it's suppose to on the rest.

A challenger actually has 10 minutes to issue their orders. We had a bug which was preventing the process from cleaning up challengers who hadn't issued orders. All should be good and less annoying from here on out.

Can someone tell me how I turn that annoying notice off? I know by now that when I'm on the battlefield I can challenge others...

Sometimes when I choose to challenge a foe it instead brings me to that players profile screen.

I am now constantly getting errors while on The escapist. It always seems to start while making a challenge, the screen goes white and I'll get something like "Fatal error: Database Error: Master Connection Failed in /sixpack/web/global/classes/class.db.mysql.inc on line 84" though I have noticed the line numbers keep changing. I continue to get this screen with different line numbers while trying to enter the website untill I completely close my IE.

Me to. I'm not sure if it's because of the game or the Escapist in general.

I find it odd when I come out of a battle with not only more money than my opponent earned, but more money than the troops I lost were even worth, and he still 'wins' the battle by eliminating one of my weaker units.

I mean its probably working as intended, but its kinda funny dontcha think?

Spudgun Man:
Been stuck on

'A person has challenged you! sit around sraching your head for a while during which time they are deciding what to do'

screen for an hour now.

Same. I suggest a retreat button before they attack?

We had some hiccups that should be better by now.

To help from having to reset your army every time you get smacked around, we make sure that you have the minimum $$ amount after a battle.

A future upgrade might be worth making this section a bit more real time. As it is real at the time the page loads, someone could enter battle before you click the attack button. At that point they are no longer able to fight you and you are taken to the profile page.

You should sit around no longer than 10 minutes.

Can either of you send a screenshot to genrewars@themis-support.com with the text that is wrapping. If you could include browser info that would be great.

It's been at least an hour.

EDIT: Eh! WTF! It just reset my entire team! I didn't press a thing, and all my money and troops are gone, it's telling me to select a class again.

For some reason, I can't choose a faction. The mouse changes, but when I click on the faction, nothing happens. I click on play, and it tells me to choose a faction again. Any ideas?

I think you misunderstood what I was saying. I didn't need to reset my army, I still had two of my units left. He eliminated my one weak unit, and I did massive damage to all three of his units. I walked away with more money than he did, and also more than enough money to replace/enhance my army further than before the battle.

He definitely suffered a 'loss' in terms of bank, but I 'won' in terms of bank. My army grew and his suffered, but because he eliminated my one weak unit, and I wittled down all his units the game says he won. THATS what I mean.

Sorry for any confusion :)

My messaging system is really messing up with this. I recieved several messages telling me about battles and stuff and deleted them, only to have them pop back up. I also recieved a message that said in the subject line that I was awarded a badge (Triumphant, I believe) but there was nothing in the message. No text, no badge, nothing. It was kind of odd.

EDIT: And now that I went back and checked it, it's working perfectly. Odd.

I know what he means. I think wins should be calculated based on funds won rather than units eliminated.

I am unable to buy new troops, or to place the ones I have in the little slot-thingies. I think i'll be giving this game a miss.

The site keeps loading, no matter what I do, I can challenge people, but cannot issue orders (even when I stop the loading-process).

"GodsOneMistake eliminated 1 unit without a loss.
Decisive Victory! GodsOneMistake earns a bonus of $828 in cash.
Internet Kraken gains $16600 in cash, GodsOneMistake gains $7023 in cash"

I find it weird that I lost because they killed my weak bait squad. I dispatched more units and had a much higher profit gain. Maybe the conditions for victory should be altered.
