In one of my battles, in every round it said that no units attacked no units, and yet at the very end of the fight the other guy earn 10,000 points and I got zero while neither of us lost a single unit.

I had 90000 ten minutes ago (and it still says that on my profile) but when I looked back it said 79000. It still says 90000 on my profile and I know that I have 90000 still because I just won a game before my money vanished. So my pro says 90000 but my money is limited to 79000, not sure why. (I forgot my email password so I can't use the bug report)

Edit: it did take me a while to get that money since I was taking a break from losing by fighting weaker lv players.

Okay, here's a major bug.

I was sitting on about $100k, I can't remember exactly, and reduced my army to a single unit in an effort to try and get the Bezerker badge (trying some different methods). All of a sudden, a battle I retreated from occured multiple times and ALL of my money disappeared.

*fumes*

EDIT: And yet, all the details in my profile are intact, including the fact that I have 642344 in winnings and 11414 in loot.

Yeah, this appears to be a common bug. You guys aren't the only ones who've got it, it happened to me as well, (see earlier post).

I think me and Matey had it happen at the same time.

its annoyign having to wait for my opponent to decide what they will do before being able to accept or decline the challange. it is possible for that to be changed?

You are wanting the ability to retreat before hand, or the ability to do your orders while they are doing their orders?

rather than having to wait for the attacker to issue thier orders (some people seem to sit there for 5 minutes deciding what to do with their units) before being able to do anything, i would like the option to issue my orders while they make thiers, or run away like a chicken.

Agreed, this would save a lot of time.

Apparantly I have -$18978... Help, please.

EDIT: I should probably mention that it happend after I retreated from a battle.

EDIT: It just happened again, and it keeps telling me I'm not at my home base.

i was somehow locked in some fight, couldn't retreat. But when i forcibly went to the edit_army page, it went with each refrech between the "You have been challenged" and "you can only edit your army at home" meaasages. But after that i got around 20.000 cash per refresh. so then i went from 11.000 to nearly 70000.

Bought a newer army with that, and won. But... i didn't want the money... now i feel like a cheater. Also the whole escapist site slowed down when all this occured... Database strained?

I thought I'd post it here because for some reason email isn't working for me today. My money in genre wars tends to fluctuate. It remembers what I have and don't have (with numbers changing to red and all) but the number shown and changing isn't the number I have, it's astronomically higher - yet it still goes red when I spend more than I have.

For some reason I had tons of problems today. First it kept taking me out of the Warzone every couple of minutes or so. Then it wouldn't let me challenge people or respond, saying that I "wasn't part of this battle." Lame.

As has happend to others I spent over half my treasure on rebuilding my army, and now everything is like it was before, except my treasure.

Not really anything serious, but after a fight the summary said that no units have been lost, while there where casualties.

I'd motion for a way to ban players from challenging you - twice now I've had periods where double or single stackers (which just cannot be beaten with balanced armies) challenge me 3-4 times in a row whilst I'm looking for a proper game.

Either their army style needs to be banned, or we need a way to stop them "blocking" people from actually playing this game.

Oop! Something went funny when posting. Ignore / Delete this one.

Happened to me twice now:

I replenish my forces after a battle. It registers all my units are at full strength.

Then I go into battle again, and suddenly my forces are wrecked!

So I have to go back and buy another army... and so I'm losing money hand over fist because I need to restock TWICE after a battle!

No bugs, I'm just tired of waiting around for other people.

Okay, now every time I go into the Warzone my army is INSTANTLY mauled. I can no-longer afford to replenish my losses due to bugs...

I've been forced to start from scratch because of these glitches.

Yeah, I'm having that problem myself. However, I was challanged during this period and the challange remains.

This.

Define "win", guys.

I ordered my units to attack all three of his squads, matching the classes.

Am I missing something here? Do we both have to match up our round lineups that I've got to find someone stupid enough that they send in the wrong class on purpose or did the game just wig out? This was this army's first battle ever.

This happens all the time, actually. Happened to me at least three times yesterday, and once today. I've just had to refresh until it comes back, which it always does, but this still shouldn't be happening.

For some reason the input thingy for buying troops won't let me buy 9.
Other than that it seems pretty good.

I had that with 8, but other than that seems fine

7 for me.

More of a feature request than a bug, but for the last hour i've been rejecting challenges from the same person and they just won't get the point! Everytime i re-enter the warzone they challenge me straight away and im unable to fight anyone else. This is getting reaaaaaaally annoying and there NEEDS to be an ignore feature or something like you can only challenge the same person once an hour...

If i scout for enemies, then click the attack button next to their name it goes to their profile, and nothing happens.

That usually means your target is already engaged in a combat or has left the warzone. Things move pretty quickly in the heat of the battle.

I don't know if it has been reported already, but I can't deploy troops in battle for anything other than round one, forcing me to retreat from every battle I had up to now. This happens in Firefox as well as IE.

Just as a question - Is the fact that I can only see people several times stronger than me in the Warzone a bug or a feature?

Feature in that you should only see people higher than you in skill. You can't go after the little guys, but they can come after you.

Sort of what Blizzard should have done with World PvP in WoW ;p

So we can't attack anyone below our rating? That's not really fair. All it does is prevent advancement and makes the game frustrating and tedious. Well, at least to me. Oh, well. Who am I to argue about certain features?

A minor balancing issue: the method for determining the winner should not be based on the number of units killed, but on the amount of loot earned. I've been using underpowered stacks to "lose" battles while at the same time inflicting more losses to the enemy. As a result, my overall cash goes up while my rating stays pleasantly low.

Overall, more $$$ earned should = Winner!

I got this bug right now that's preventing me from progressing... well I can but it's not to my advantage.

I won a battle, purchased some aditional troops and was able to spend all my cash. I had 0$ left. When I saved my army it reverted to the army I had right after the battle but minus the money.

Now all i can do is reset the whole game and stat over or wait for that glitch to be fixed.

I've lost all contact with my command center. Again.

If I were anything but a ninja, this would be a major problem. As it is, it's just a problem.
