I'm afraid that strikes me as very unusual if not almost impossible. Can you copy/paste the section of your news where this happened? Without IDs of course.

The game is pretty good about not having errors like that so I feel like it must be something else to be honest.

there is no bug ... evening is 1 tick after afternoon so the defender was there at the same time as you ... plus your attack took 5 ticks to go started afternoon, used 5 ticks to get to the opponent and the 6th tick the first attack occured ( in the next afternoon)

all is well timed. you just miscalculated the times the defence was sent.

there is no bug here

I think that suggests a bug with the addon you are using to count ticks with.

If I read that report without the '9 ticks ago' bit, I wouldn't see anything amiss.

Youngsters relying too much on NBS these days..... :p

I found this part of your reply too be patronizing even though not aimed at me.

I too am new and learning the game and use one of the advertised scripts off the forums. maybe re-write the games manual explaining more in depth how things work for us so called youngsters..

Or remove these so called scripts all together if they are incorrect. I have to admit reading through the forums i find the everyday players more helpful than the official helpers ;)

Please take this the right way this isn't a personal dig just a observation from a so called youngster


ps
I forgot we could come into IRC for a helpful chat.. I tried this btw , I met a channel with about 30+ people were it took over a hour for one of the op's too answer me and pointing me back too the manual (talk about around in circles) The game i feel is good the hired support however poor.

They're not official scripts, they're made by players and offered to other players. These guys put a lot of time and effort into that, and for example antisback offers his plug-in free of charge to everyone. I find a proper thanks is in order, not a "oh but it's incorrect, so they should be removed". They've only ever been made to help players, not play the game for them. ;)

Jeez !! don't get me wrong without Anti's script i would have stopped playing in my first week hadn't a friend who has played a while pointed me towards it ..

My gripe is that the official help on here says its incorrect in his statement not me :) Is the comment of "youngsters relying too much on NBS these days" not a dig that the scripts are not always correct ?

I appologise if it seemed i was digging at the addons as I wasn't, In fact as I said above Anti's addon is all that kept me playing it made a lot of sense in areas the manual had black holes.. My gripe is that some of the official help tend too be aimed too belittle or just slate off at new players. (Please note i said some) ;)

/salute Anti's mod 8) i have no problems with it what so ever .. very very useful but i hate the fact new players are categorized for using it especially by helpers. I bet many seasoned players still use it ;)

check news

10 ticks ago ETA 5
9 ETA 4
8 ETA 3
7 ETA 2
6 ETA 1
5 ATT FOR 3

spy shows att for 3 was 4 ticks ago not 5 like it should.

maybe anti's mod wasnt working correctly that is only logical explanation.

And has for youngsters using mod's PFFFTT!!! i find that disrespectable tbh. yes i am only 19 but my dad plays bushtarion and has done for bout 5/6 yrs and he uses it too.

these mods are very good normally and dont need helpers telling them not to use/rely on them.

He was being sarcastic. Take it easy ;)

OMG another helper telling newer players what to do! That's so disrespectful!

what a great way of helping and enticing new players in the game :s

To parafrase the sig of alcibiades a while back: "If they can't take a joke, f*k them". Obviously CF was making a comment in a lighthearted spirit, and so was I. :)

actually, i agree with cf that new people shouldnt get involved with all these tools from the start. you get a way better learning curve when you just find things out on youre own instead of trusting these tools. donno, whats patronizing or demonizing about giving this advise though :p

I just found being catagerized as a youngster just because I'm new too a game or use a addon/tool a little patronizing :)

Was never ment in anyway as a personal jab at any reply off any member and appologise if it looked that way ... 99% of response I've had in the way of help as been positive and useful but I do sense 1 or 2 moderators are or seem a little highly strung especially towards newer players .

Again sorry for any misunderstandings .
