Attributes/buffs missing in combats

This has been reported in-game by other players. Sometimes during combat the troops seem to have lost their bonuses to skills and/or attributes.

In my opinion, fixing this is a HIGH priority as it affects army development which affects all advancements.

Details:

- my only experience (thus far) is against manors and oases (see below)
- seems to happen with larger armies or happen more often with Total Troops value above 45-50K. This is speculation, not definitive.
- cannot determine if all bonuses do not get applied or if only particular bonuses are not applied
- shooting range is definitely affected (reduced)
- damage is definitely affected (reduced)
- troop loss is increased. Unknown if this is due to reduced HP, defense, etc. or combinations of various bonuses.
- a fix or workaround is unknown to me. The next combat I perform is always back to normal. In other words, it has never happened twice in a row for me.

Reference combat logs for occurrences (not complete) starting with most recent:

Re: Attributes/buffs missing in combats

I think this is the same bug reported in this post.
viewtopic.php?f=853&t=24167

Troops don't do nearly the amount of damage they should be doing.

I haven't found the cause either, but I took my gear off and put it back on, and that seemed to cure it.
It sucked.
Cost me 1000 cats and 7000 archers when I ran into that one.

Re: Attributes/buffs missing in combats

I have noticed the same bug. I have also noticed that often when i log on, my city will show i have available crop, but if i try to build or upgrade something it says not enough resources. The crop is bugged so that it reads a number when in fact your troops are starving. Well, occasionally it will still let me send my troops out. After i send them, the crop reads 0, no matter the previous number. I then buy 20k crop while the troops march so they should have full power, however when they get there they only do half the damage. So i think the attributes that "go missing" actually occur when the crop is bugged and allows you to send your troops out when in fact you have no crop. hope this makes sense.

Re: Attributes/buffs missing in combats

Could be the crop bug.

I ran into this bug again this morning, but luckily, I sent plenty of troops and I didn't lose much.

I had about 50K crop at the time. :(
Spent 25K to get to the destination, so in theory, I should have had enough.

Re: Attributes/buffs missing in combats

I wondered if it was related to crop as well.
After each buggy combat I checked my crop and the game shows that I had crop before and after. So I did not think it was a crop thing. But that doesn't mean it isn't if crop usage is buggy.

Re: Attributes/buffs missing in combats

It seems that if you log out for a while, then log back in, it's pretty common that the 1st hit is like this.
Especially after your city was out of crop because of a starve.
Seems that even if you put crop in the city, it still doesn't register the crop as being there.

Just my guess.

I've run into this glitch a few times now. Including just now where it cost me about 1700 hoplites where I would have normally only lost a couple hundred to a city wall. (Took my cats 5 rounds to knock down turrets, where they would normally do it in 2)

Re: Attributes/buffs missing in combats

Crop bug still exists.

This happens when crops run out when troops are en route to combat. Even if crop is replenished, sometimes it does not matter, and the combat proceeds like the city is out of crop.

If a player is aware of this bug, then I believe he/she can avoid it by logging out and logging back in before the troops arrive for combat.

Re: Attributes/buffs missing in combats

When you starve and replenish the crop.
Switch cities and switch back.
That seems to get around the bug. Not sure if it still exists in the final release, but that work around seems to work in 9.14 beta.

Ah thanks, I forgot to mention that. And this bug is a symptom of the issue that affects many things in the game which I plan to address in my summary bug report before moving to the release version.
